    The Vaccine

    By replying with this post and that article (yes I read it) it is clear that you don’t have a clue where I’m coming from or what I’m trying to say and so I guess we can agree to disagree. Seems I’m starting to hit a nerve with you… so you label my post political and harmful, in that way you can...

    The Vaccine

    Same tired argument. The government has reached this far so why not let them reach this much more… and then this much more… and the this much more. It’s this line of reasoning that is the problem. The nature of people in governing position is to take more and more control “FOR YOUR OWN GOOD”...

    I actually wasn’t posting this in regards to anything said by you or anyone specifically, it came from just a general frustration with the common attitude I sense on this thread and in-person discussions that seems to be complicit with this new mandate. More than the mandate itself I fear the...

    The Vaccine

    Wonder how many of you would suddenly be spouting off about individual freedom, limited government and ranting about over reach if a new federal mandate comes down to limit boats to 2 people per boat and those two have to where masks full time. Nobody cares about government over reach unless it...

    The Vaccine

    The federal government is going to force me to have a medical procedure which forces me to inject something into my body whether I like it or not at the threat of being fired from a job that supports me and my family. And many of you don't see anything wrong with that- Really?! I'm...

    Leaving the jets behind

    Here is a news story video on our last show of the season. At 0:17 seconds in the vid you can see me go by with my daughter on my shoulders doing a "layback" (not a great shot but you can just make us out) :D...

    The Vaccine

    This thread is starting to reflect the conversations I've had and observed with colleagues, friends, and family. There are really good smart people that are hesitant about the vaccine and in that hesitancy and distrust are trying to figure out what their path forward should be to protect their...

    Leaving the jets behind

    Yeah we’ve gotten into surfing the last couple years, everyone loves it and skis kinda got dusty but I would still do my slalom run at the end of the evening. Then this year my daughter and I joined the local ski show club. All of a sudden everyone was digging the skis out of the shed and it’s...

    Yeah its in near perfect condition - was on Lake Tahoe and taken really well care of. Also, only 210 hrs.

    Leaving the jets behind

    There was things I really loved about my 212X and some things not so much.... so yea just like any boat. But ultimately we decided to go back to a prop. Definitely things I'm going to miss about the jet boat but been toying with the idea of moving back to a prop ever since we moved to the lake...

    Yep I miss the days were I could have a heated debate with a friend, both be ok with that disagreement and then go out boating for the rest of the day as best friends. The value of being able to disagree and and still respect and even like each other seems to be a lost concept around me more...

    Yep I get what you are saying. My whole point is, if all human conclusions from risk analysis are laced with emotions, experiences, and other complex personal human factors, then what makes your conclusion better than mine? Why would you judge my conclusion as the wrong choice just because it...

    The Vaccine

    If you are saying you analyze risk in your life and come to decisions based purely only on numbers and data, devoid of past experiences, emotions (fear, belief, hate, love)and other human factors than I call a big fat hot steaming Bull Shit.

    Thank you Professor AZMark.... Now lets get back to reality and talk about what all humans actually do when analyzing risk... AKA my point. Edit: mood of this reply == tongue and cheek, not trying to be an ass.

    The Vaccine

    I see this statement of "risk analysis" being thrown around a lot lately. As if looking strictly at data makes it a no brainer for every person out there, and if they go against the data then they are stupid, ignorant or selfish. Since when has human risk analysis ever only been about the...

    The Vaccine

    Why is it that the justification FOR more a restrictive life or more over-reach is always past and current restrictions? I wasn't trying to fire people up with "papers" talk - its not even about the "papers" its about what you are forced to do to get the papers. Some day vaccination passports...

    Yes, something we can agree 100% on - boating is the best way to get away from all the bullshit!

    The Vaccine

    Yeah your right I should just roll over. Strap a monitor on all my kids, everything is fine. I mean my kids needed vaccines to go to school, so what's the big deal if I now have to show my papers at the door of a restaurants in order to eat - why fight it. I mean why push back on anything...

    The Vaccine

    I mean everyone is welcome to their own view and opinion in my book, but frankly I don't understand how someone takes the idea of mandatory monitoring in stride - this stuff makes my skin crawl. The whole environment lately makes me think of the frog in the boiling pot of water. Seems so...

    The Vaccine

    I would think few would argue that masks don't work at all, the argument is how well and what is their worth. In my opinion with what people are using as masks and how most of the people I see wear them, I'm skeptical that in most cases they are much better than the old "cover your mouth when...
