Heh.

Anyway, alls well that ends well - nobody got hurt and that's the
important part.

Although Archie's launch ramp was closed for a while. The recovery was
just as funny - I don't know where the boat owners found the tow guy
but he was a freakin' moron. Tried to do a straight pull without a
snatch block or two to keep the truck from drifting.


I thought that retaining wall looked familiar. Oh well... some of
life's lessons are free, and some are really expensive. That looked
expensive, but I'll bet they won't do that again.
