   Water Temp:  50 (Itch-o-meter) / 47.8 (Captn's Macho-meter)

Well folks, summer is officially over and now we've transitioned into fall.  For the record, Summer this year happened on a Saturday.  (...which of course is better then last year when I think it happened on a Monday....or was it a Tuesday?) 

In case you missed it, I've attached a picture to this post of what it looked like Saturday when the Kru enjoyed brilliant warm sunshine and air temps near 80.

By comparison, today's air temp was a little more than half that at 46.2. (...or at least that's what the Macho-meter indicated prior to submerging it into the icy lake waters.)  At least today's cloud cover didn't hurl any snowflakes at us!  (Unfortunately the rain drops didn't feel much better though.)

In case you missed it, I've attached a couple snaps of the bad ass Kru members who swam skin today.  Kudos to Linda who was first to walk the plank without the slightest hesitation nor a wimper or muttering of anything akin to "flaw, flaw, flaw".

Swimming legend and five-time Olympic gold medal winner Johnny Weissmuller was born on June 2, 1904. So this Sunday, June 2nd is the 115th anniversary of his birth. Good reason to gather, swim, and toast Tarzan.
