Hey all, @buckbuck has already graciously dropped some photos on a dvd in the mail to me. If you took some great photos, or even just have one or two you really like, I'd love to have them to include in the annual commemorative video. PM me for my mailing address or e-mail address. Thanks!!!

007, another DVD headed your way with pictures of your boat and surfers. Even got some video of you behind the boat. You should see it Friday.

Speaking of knee braces. Sunday morning out on the water in in Shelbyville. I decided to have Becky pull me skiing. she ripped me out of the skis. Now I have to see a specialist and hopefully I didn't tear my meniscus because my knee keeps giving out

Your knee is trying to protect itself.
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation

These are your friends until you visit the doc for expert advice.

Love this group.... certain friends have been getting on me about trying to surf. As I'm starting to come around this happens. The doctor told me I'm done with waterskiing this year. Depending on what the specialist says, I will try to Surf hell or highwater this year. I have to wait for the swelling to go down before I see the specialist. Sitting on my couch with ice on my knee

Bummer dude! Certainly not fun! I dislocated my left knee snowmobiling 2 seasons ago and it's finally getting back to normal, it had a few hitches here and there. I dislocated it deep in the timber and didn't have a whole lot of resources so was stuck riding with it the rest of the day! It took a while to heal but you just have to give it time, rehab and pt!

Good Luck and be patient! Don't push it, it will only take longer!

Not to make light of the situation, but it seems Shelbyville can do that to you! @007 can you shed any light?

OK everyone. @007 has completed the video from the 2017 Gathering. As usual he did a great job sorting through all the photos and videos that you send him. I know he spends a lot of time trying to include everyone, but is dependent on pictures that are sent to him. Please enjoy:
