It's tropical rains today...Dad and I are hanging out under the gazebo as the winds blow the rain bands past. The water is very high in the Chesapeake. My "quiet place" at the bottom of our hill is underwater today.

I was going to dig up some "Tubing pics" but we can wait for Ray's. Can't wait to see how high they launched a grandkid! My grandson attained around 15-20' b/c he only weighed 55lbs(25kg)! I thought I had killed him in front on his parents. I was so happy to hear him cry when he came up after the inevitable slam to the water. WHEW!!

Somehow I don't think Ray will endanger his brood.....as much!
Is it called tubing because they used to use the huge inner tubes of tyres to drag behind boats? I'm sure I've seen that somewhere.

This is the tube, it is pulled behind a boat.
Easier than water skiing.

Thank you Ray and everyone for explaining tubing to me - it sounds like great fun. I had imagined people being in a rubber tube and flapping their bodies around to look like seals, or something similar! I've never seen anything like you describe here in the UK, but I probably just don't know where to look.

Good evening everyone!

I have a big birthday coming up next weekend but I have just seen Xmas treats in the shops! Why?

FedEx should be at your door with your gift soon. Everyday just wait at your door. I am sure it will show up. Don't ask me what the gift is. I don't want to ruin the surprise. 😁🤣🤣

Tomorrow morning my son Jim,his step brother and I. Will be going on a fishing charter. I am excited since I didn't get to fish much. Since my boat is in the need of a expensive fix. I have all winter to get it fixed for next year.
