We were wakeboarding this weekend...well pretty much every weekend, but this weekend I bit the water really hard while jumping the wake. I am not sure what I did wrong, but landed with the board digging into the water and slamming me into the water.

My daughter Kenzie was going to take a picture of me jumping the wake.

The before and after pics:

Notice my sunglasses flying in the air.

A sure sign that you are getting past your prime.

I thought Rednecks swam with their jeans on? I like those pictures though. But why are you wearing sunglasses? At least put some floaties on them-of course that's because I have plenty of Oakleys at the bottom of Texoma. Also, ask Mark Smith about how good of a boarder he is.

Those are floating glasses so I did find them after I finally surfaced and could breathe again.

I talked with Mark a while back and he told me about his unfortunate incident. OUCH!!

Way past my prime too. :(


BTW.. Here is my 11year old Jaycie. She is getting pretty darn good.

Had I tried that, the dislocation would have been followed by a immediate amputation as I'm sure my arm would have just ripped off...

Your arm would rip off as soon as the boat comes off idle.

Very little with Jaycie. She is nagging me hard to buy her a Miata or a Legends car. She wants to be racing by age 13 she said. I don't really know what to do. She even had me ask Dave how old she had to be to start racing.

get with the Vinings that run the little silver mini NASCAR thing. John's been running in my race group for years and he's still maybe a teenager by now finally

I haven't talked to them, but Jaycie has seen the car and is interested for sure.

Gavin is asking to drive too (just turned 10). I'm planning on putting him in Michael's LeMons car ('87 Toyota Corolla) for some HPDE starting the 2016 season. He will be 12 1/2 at that point.

Very cool.. I have sort of scanned the internet for a dirt cheap miata. Those dang legends car are pretty pricey.

We would...but nothing really close. We are going to go over to one in Cato Mills about 70 miles away at some point when it cools off a little.

I haven't been to that one yet but have some co-workers that went out there and said it was a blast. Monday and Thursday they are $15/session, I think regular price is $25. Keep us posted if you are heading out there and we'll see about meeting y'all.

Are there any race kart tracks? Great way for the young'uns to progress into big'uns racing. Just don't leave a 23 year gap like I did....

That would be better than waiting until you are 50 like I did to run your first race.

As experienced as they are by now I'm sure they've seen all the pitfalls and whatnot. Plus the kid really has his stuff together, makes all the adult racers look bad sometimes.

Ah....wish I'd have known you were looking for a Miata with time on your hands- I just made a trade for our old one....Jaycie looks great on that board though! We need more girls involved!!! :-)
