We got our first good rain yesterday afternoon. Thunderstorm blew in out of nowhere. We had 30-40 mph winds and it rained for about an hour. I was glad to see it. The only problem with it was the winds dislodged a bunch of the broken limbs that were still hung up from IKE. Of course when they fell, they just had to take down the power lines again.  :banghead:

I guess they fixed your power lines pretty quick this time cause if they hadn't you wouldn't have gotten to post the pig covered in oil story!!  :stickpoke: :stickpoke: Course if they hadn't fixed your lines you wouldn't have gotten the oil on ya either. Kinda funny how things work out sometimes.   :c :c

Had a great time!  Glad to see everyone is making it home ok.  My body is aching from hang'n on to that tube.  I didn't do the ski thing (no skis) but did make a run at the tube.  It beat the crap out of me.  Got a little sunburned right on top of my head where the hair is get'n really thin.  All I can say about the tubing is that it's a shame everyone couldn't have seen the whale chasing the minnow....Jeremy and Mason!!  I haven't laughed that hard in a while.  Maybe next year more people can make it and enjoy the fun.  Thanks to all that helped put this on!

Tom, you are correct about being beat up, my neck and back hurt something fierce. i wish someone would have been filming when that whale went chasing the minnow. from my vantage point all i saw was water, sky, water, sky, feet, and water. :ohwow: ;D

Kenny, i do hope your mother is doing better. glad you were able to makle it out for awhile.
