Default Went jet-skiing today for the first time.

:eek3:

We threw a Tool Party for my sister's fiance at his rich godfather's house. This man has a badass lakefront house with two boats (one's actually a yacht), and a two jetskis. I've always wanted to go jetskiing, but never had the opportunity, so I went today and had a blast! I was like this ----> I was cruising around with my future brother-in-law, and a boat crossed in front of us, so he sped up to catch the wake, but there were some big waves, and all of a sudden I look up and his jetski is floating along by itself...:chuckles: So I go by to pick him up and take him to his jetski, and he almost tips me over, too...then when he's trying to get on his, he falls back in the water...:chuckles:

Oh yeah, this house has a 60' plasma TV in the living room, and each of the three bedrooms has a 42" plasma TV, and every room is hooked up with surround sound. :squint: This is the same guy that owns the SL55 AMG Presidential Edition that I talked about getting a ride in a few months ago. And he had an old Rolls Royce in the garage.

And we had a lot of fun. :thumbup:

Lake Norman. :thumbup:

Bad part is, if you go not too far from his house on boat, you can see the Nuclear Power Plant not very far off at all. :ugh: :uhhok:

Jet skiing is uber fun. Anything with a motor that involves being outdoors owns.

My two favorite are snow mobiling and jet skiing.

It's probably the most fun thing I've ever done. It's kinda like riding a motorcycle without worrying about falling off and cracking your skull open on asphalt.
