I'm alright... really... I'm a tough ole bird... it'll take a lot more than a dead tree limb to get me down... Kinda put me out of commission for about a half hour when it happened... but then I just went on about the day's business.

Actually... Don said the piece that hit me was only about a foot long and about 3" in diameter... so, it could have been worse if he hadn't cut that end of it off first.

I felt good enough to take Mike out on the jet skis this evening, and Don got some pictures. First pic here is Mike leaving our cove... let me explain a couple things about this pic first. That thing you see next to his mouth is a speaker. Don and I always wear a headset attached to walkie talkies. It's a safety measure... when you're throtled up on those things, it's loud... and you can not hear someone trying to yell at you. So, this way we can communicate on the water. Also... what Mike is doing here is jumping the noodles. We have those swim noodles strung across our channel to help catch the debris off the lake from floating in. When we leave the channel on the jet skis, we have to throttle up to get the nose in the air to jump the noodles.
