June got an Ant bite on her foot

Having a great time over here in Melbourne for the 50th moomba masters.  We are well into the event now and I have gone through the first round of jump qualification.  Did well, getting a 48.9m jump on the board to pout me in seed 1 for the next round.

The conditions here have been great, and looking forward to that continuing throughout the rest of the event.

Tom is up today in his qualification round for day jump and night jump.  Will be an exciting day.

WE have landed in Australia and we are soooooo glad to be done with flying.  The trip is always long but well worth it.  we love coming to Melbourne which is such a diverse city.  We got in on Tuesday and spent the day walking round to try and beat the tiredness.  WE had a fun day checking out the Victoria market and some of the other sides of the city.  Today we are just taking it easy and I start my first event tonight in the night jump.

Keep you posted

The new jump has arrived to the lake.  We had quite a mission on our hands to get the steel, fiberglass surface, jacks, bolts, etc of the flat bed trailer.  The ramp was hauled from Covington, Louisiana all the way to Clermont, Fl via a flatbed trailer.  we piled everything on the boat trailer and began building the thing on Saturday.

Saturday night we had the whole frame assembled.  Sunday, we had the frame tightened, and part of the surface on.  Monday, the ramp surface was on and the side curtains cut.  Tuesday, we got the surface sanded down ready for painting the epoxy gel coat red surface and bolted in.

Its quite a task but luckily we have some great help around here.  Ady Asher, Ray Stokes, and John Philips have been really plugging away on getting this done.  Hopefully should all be finished by Tomorrow, once it does I shall put some pictures up
