Did you have some Crantini's at the Eldorado? :D

Nope, I didn't get much of a chance to stop at the Eldorado... Met up with Spectra there and that was about it...

I had a really wonderful time in Kelowna ... I've got the sunburn to prove it too :rolleyes: .
Seriously it was really great to meet other forum members. The only one I didn't get to meet that was there is the one I've 'known' the longest- Spectras Only ... one of these days eh, Spectras Only? wink :D
I also had an interesting and good experience volunteering at the Pro Wakeboard Tour Wakefest. I met Shaun Murray. He is a really great guy. He's friendly with his fans ... he doesn't have an over-inflated ego. I was stationed in his videogame tent making sure nobody stole any of the gaming equipment. He spent some time playing his videogame with his fans. He's alright. Parks is still my fave wakeboarder though. :D
JB- I didn't partake of Crantini's at the Eldorado either. :(

I had a wonderful time. I met some great people and I did some interesting stuff.
There was an eerie moon on the way out on Thursday.

Tom ,is that a 28 Nordic from the El Dorado? There's another yellow one in penticton and a blue one in vancouver. I guess the owners have a fleet price reduction from nordic .

Tom Brown
07-22-2003, 01:09 PM
I'm pretty sure that's a 25' Nordic Heat. I don't know more about it than that.

All was going well with Toms visit ....And then the right combination of Bran, Cheddar. and Tequila shooters....along with hearing "that" word, that sets him off.....Well lets just say Tom is being sought for questioning......

http://www.havasubarney.com/iB_html/uploads/post-46-07184-Tom_takes_another_violator_in_to_custody.jpg It seems that Tom is very easy to set off. If he comes to Whitecourt for the races, I'm wearing my "vest". Tom, you coming? I'll find you boat to ride in. :D
