I just want to point out that Bill Kiley is our Tour insurance sponsor - Connecticut Underwriters along with American Modern Insurance Group who also Insure the Tour and my Skool. I also need to point out that we have been treated like royalty at the Kiley residence and Jesica, Bill's better half baked home made pop tarts for Breakfast and let me tell you they are amazing! We even took a bunch on the 12 hour trip with us today, they made the journey much more bearable.

I would like to say a huge thank you to the Kiley family, Jesica & Bill along with Son Nate and Daughter Ali, they have been friends of mine for some years now and have made many trips down to Orlando to train with me at my Skool. It was time for me to visit the place where they spend their time on the water when back in Connecticut - Bashin Lake is the beautifully natural crystal clear lake where they ski with their great family friends, the Vansteinburger family. I can tell you these two families have a riot all the time, on and off the water!!!

After obtaining a permit to be able to put up a portable slalom course on Bashin Lake this summer, they have been making the most and skiing as much as possible. I have to say that I was very impressed with how easy and quick is was to install an Insta Slalom portable course, these guy's had it down to about 15 minutes total installation.

Logan and I had two more amazing days on Given's Pond in Delaware, after meeting Mike Warwick earlier in the spring at my place in Orlando we set up two days of clinics at Hunter and Tracey Philips site - Given's Pond. They were so welcoming to Logan and I, they invited us to stay at their new house and we had a blast. We met an amazing group of skiers and two fantastic hosts. As usual we had a full range of performance in the course, but really enjoyed seeing improvement in all the skiers.

When you arrive at a site and one of the members has taken so much time to hand-make a large poster welcoming you to their ski site, you really feel welcome and ready to become good friends!

What a fantastic two days of Clinics we have just had Lake Chaney in Maryland. With record setting temperatures of 102 degrees and flat calm conditions, the skiers were loving life on the water. We have a great time meeting and working with all the skiers in an amazing young ski club and I would like to say a huge thank you to Jim Gallagher for help pulling the club together for the clinic and Jim Mosser and Bob Morris for driving a bunch of the sets.
I was blown away to see 75 year old Lorretta Morris ripping the course up at 22 and 28 off (14 meter line) and 75 year husband Bob ripping into 35 off (12 meter line) in training and Tournament. It was a pleasure to work with all the skiers and I can't wait to go back there next year.
