Well I have to say that for a lot of years I never thought that I could Slalom ski. Spent a lot of time driving and enjoying that aspect of the sport. Bought a Ski Sky and did that a number of times in the summer. Well last year at the age of 44 I thought I would try the sport. Now you have to imagine me at 6'5" 230#. Yes that is why I thought having never tried the sport that it would be to difficult. I have to say that once up I actually picked the sport up rather quick for a Big man. We ski on the Rock River in Wisconsin. Wow the skiing on the river is out of this world. On a rough day it is still really skiable. Anyway I would have to say that we would ski at least a couple times a week. Right now I would say I am addicted to the sport. Last year I took a fall over the front which I hope never to do again and broke a couple of ribs. You only have to do that once before you figure out that a fall over the front is the wrong way. I hope to ski the Badger State games when I turn 50. I guess life is about experiences and you never know what you can do unless you take a chance. My girls are really good at the sport so we will take their friends out and teach them. I think that is also a very fun thing to do to give the kids an opportunity to do things that I never had. Most important is that fact that I have my first Malibu, a RLxi 04. The wake is out of this world to ski on. I have skied behind other boats and nothing compares.

Oh well enough of my rambling I hope everybody enjoys there Holiday weekend.

I regularly clean the fuel injectors in my vehicles about once a year. However, I have searched this forum and could not find a link to any discussion on how often one cleans the injectors on a Malibu. Mine gets about 70 hours of use a year so I figure it is due. I have the service manual that covers removing and cleaning the injector screens but I would like to try using an STP injector cleaner and fuel system additive first. A lot less work. Does anyone use this on a yearly basis?

Looking for any advice/ thoughts on what brand to buy. The packing on my boat has started to leak bad after multiple times of adjusting the packing nuts over the past three seasons. I dock the boat at my house ( will be on a lift next season) but have got annoyed with water always in the bilge. I did some reading on the oj and pss drip less packings both seem like good products. Pro and cons to either brand??? Any advice would be great!!!!!
