WooHoo, a new toy is in the works.....

and unfortunately, it has nothing to do with the Montana. DW has agreed with the fact that I really need (in my mind anyway) an addition to the naval fleet. We have been shopping around for a Jet-ski and her criteria for selection was simple. It had to be either yellow or red. Now, being the enterprising man that I am, I saw this as an opportunity. Little did she know that the only yellow ones I can find are the SeaDoo models that just so happen to have supercharged, intercooled engines. SHHHHHHH!! Thank goodness she doesn't read the forum. We found a great deal locally on a new 2009 model and will be finalizing the purchase in the next couple of weeks. Now, for those MOCers who think I am getting lazy in my old age, you can rest easy, because the other addition to the fleet will be a ten foot sit-on-top kayak for when I can't afford the gas (thanks to Egypt and Libya) for the ski and the boat. I am waiting for those to go on sale at Dick's Sporting Goods since DW got me a gift card for there for Christmas to cover the costs. Of course the Montana is still in the picture for a lot of use this summer since it is cheaper to camp than to spend a day on the river. Oh, and lastly she told me absolutely not when I mentioned the possibility of towing the ski behind the Montana, drat!!!

Believe me, I tried to convince her John. Even explained that the rear-view camera system would allow us to observe it while we were towing. I did not get back any positive feedback, however. Oh well, it will be kept on a floating jetski dock in the river anyway and the closest ramp to the house is about 10 miles away which makes it a pain to pull it. Guess I had better not press the issue this early, at least until I have it here at the house. I will mention in a couple of weeks that you said it was no problem!!!

Bingo,
Have you seen DW's user name: yamaha_mama? let me just say, we ain't bikers. Congrats we have been riding for years, it's a blast!

Ken

PS. Invite the kids to camp & have them tow the skis (Btw you need 2, one for each of you!)

I'd recon two out of three is a good average. Fun on the water. In our area you also see lots of boats behind the TT's and 5th wheels.

Bingo,

When you get to where you are going, or even before you leave, revert to the old, true, tried, method of sulking and pouting. It may take a few trips, but it will work.

Sorry to the rest of you that I let the 'cat out of the bag'.

Here's the way I see it. Bingo is thinking ahead to when the young men come calling, he's got something to entertain them with. The key to a sound battle plan is a good diversion.
