And so I get back down in there and, and I'll be if he didn't do it again. This time a little earlier and, and I had let go before then and, before they took off this time and, and swatted him away. So I moved over a, a few feet in the water and got out of his little realm where he was living underneath the dock and, uh, managed to get up. Didn't go very far, but I got up. And it, it was a nice, uh, nice long skiing career, but now I've gotten to where skiing is just kind of wears me out more than it does thrill me. I've, I've, uh, done about all I dare do on skis.

Grab the rope behind you and then just let go real quick and let it whip you around.
B
Uh-huh.

But, uh, I don't know, maybe someday I'll, I'll get back to that as, after the kids are up and grown and the monies are there to get away for times on end, weekend or something.

Well, my son,
