I might go to the Keys this weekend.

My friend Joe got a two night free stay at a hotel in the Key Largo. He also has a jet ski that he will be taking. My idea was to take mine down there and party it up all day. I invited my friend lance and these girls. I really hope it works out, whenever I plan out something this much fun something ruins it. I can’t wait for this weekend to come.

Kissimme was a sucess!

I had such a great time last weekend on the Kissimmee River. I was nailing all the turns at 60mph+ everyone was happy to be there and there was a good turnout. About 50 different people came from all over the place, one group of guys came from North Carolina, and another from South Carolina just to ride the river. At one point I went fishing by myself, it was a bad idea. I was quickly surrounded by alligators looking for their next meal, I got out of there as quickly as I could.

Can't wait for this weekend!

This weekend I'm going to the Kissimme river, it is one of my favorite places to ride. The Kissimme river is a 15-20ft wide river with incredible "twisties". Some of the turns are a full 180 degrees. I go through all of them at 60mph+ this is really a place for experienced riders. If you fall off at kissimme there are a lot of alligators, so your in trouble. I fell off once at 63mph there and I was really scared because I knew what was in the water with me (I was rescued quickly). However I am really excited, I'm going to fix the ski tommorow, and get my fishing pole.

I found the problem with my jet ski

Last week I posted that my beloved jet ski wouldn't start. Well i found the problem, the starter motor is brooken. I changed a couple power cables, to my despair I found it didn't work. Then my dad came and figured it out. The starter motor is very Expensive usually around $280. However I found a guy who would sell me a used one for $65 so I plan to buy that one. I tried to take off the old motor and I simply couldn't get it off, im going to take it to get fixed later this week. I want to have my jet ski in running condition for this weekend at Kissimme!

My jet ski won't start!

The other day I walked into my garage to start up my jet ski. It hadn't been run in about a month so I thought it was time to start it, as with all engines you need to run them every so often. Well, it wouldn't start, so I changed the positive battery cable leading from the solenoid to the engine. Now it won't even turn over, I have to debug this problem soon because I am going on a really awesome trip next weekend the second I get out of SAT's. I know most of you don't know what im talking about when I mention engine stuff. I just need to talk about something to get a good grade in Stoklosa's class.

Engine Swap

The other day my friend was driving down the highway minding his own business when a drunk driver crashed into him and sent him and his trailer (with his jet ski on it) flying. The ski was totaled, ironically most of the engine was fine. He has a Yamaha SHO which is a heavy jet ski with an extremely powerful motor. His idea was to take the motor and put it into a lighter hull to reach speeds of 80mph+ so he took the idea and ran with it. He bought an old Yamaha GPR hull and is in the process of swapping the engines. When it is done I think it is going to be a really awesome and fast jet ski to ride.
