RE: Weekend-Engagement writing topics: WEEK 157

It's a jet boat and can run in 10cm of water. Twin jets, super fast. It's sucks up the water from below and jets it out so runs in bugger all water. Half a million dollars of boat. I was there to ride them, so cool, went twice. They run them to about a metre from the gorge and super fast.

When I took this I was standing on the bank after my first ride. It's cool as the boat looks like it's coming right at me. I have a video of my own ride, but here's the one of YouTube.

It's pretty hard on the back, but super cool. I'll do it again when I'm back in NZ.

Hopefully you feel ok after the procedure, the weekend will help.

Ah, okay, that is pretty cool. Yeah procedure went well. I was in an out in no time! That is a pretty great shot you got there! It looks like it would be one heck of a ride!

Easy procedure and now it's the weekend, a long weekend here. Shooting tomorrow and have a truck show Sunday, big rigs, maybe a hike Monday. Should be good.

Sounds like a perfect weekend! Schools out for the summer here, so work really isn't too bad most of the weeks.

Oh yeah, summer break. How many weeks is it, say for the high school kids? They have the break here over Christmas which is our summer, it's ten weeks I think. Then there's a few terms during the year with more. If only adults got that much time off.

They have to come back in the middle of August, so probably about 10 weeks. My wife gets the summer off. I have to work the whole time. I don't mind though, it's quiet with the teachers gone.

Ok, so about the same time. I like when the kids are off as there's less traffic on the roads...but hate it because those little buggers are everywhere. (I have none of my own, just in general.)

I totally get it! We don't have any either. Just some nieces and nephews we get to spoil and then give back!
