A discussion about "chain rodes rip out cleats" would be on topic and possibly very funny! Probably , that is as long as it's someone else's boat. |

Good mornin', Tim. I'm off to get my boat. Sandy and I are going up to the Georgetown Starbucks for a cup of coffee.

Have a spectacular day! -- John H All decisions are the result of binary thinking. Have fun, John.! Well, this is what I get for a fast decision to go boating. Usually I pick the boat up the night before and check the battery, etc. Today I just hooked up the boat, drove to the ramp north of the airport, launched the boat, and hit the starter.....nothing. ****!!! So, I'm back home, battery is on the charger, and we're waiting for it to get charged. Hell, even the hot shot didn't have enough juice to crank the engine. Oh well, live and learn - not to take shortcuts. -- John H All decisions are the result of binary thinking. |

No, the navigation light switch was on. The battery had discharged to 8%. Dumb. I paid to have the battery on/off switch installed, but then, like a dumbass, I forgot to l use the damn thing.
