Hmm. An optimist, eh? Yeah, it will be better. Really, it will.
Thanks "*JimH*" wrote in message ... Sorry to hear about the problems but it looks like you have taken them in stride and handled them well. I am sure things will go flawlessly next time out. "Bryan" wrote in message m... So, I'm a believer now that the worst day with my boat is still better than my best day at work. It's the last day of summer before school starts, so I took my daughter and a few of her friends to the lake. The first thing I did was drag my skeg in my driveway; oh, you're supposed to raise the prop before trailering? The second thing I did was get whacked in the face with a bungee cord that my daughter let fly. Blood everywhere, a knot on my cheek and a black eye, broken sunglasses, and worst of all my daughter still feels rotten no matter how many times I tell her it's ok. Third, you know those trees I asked about in another thread, well, I ran into one (no damage and I'm not even going to try to explain). Then, remember that anchor I didn't want to lose to the trees, well, in a treeless area I lost my brand new anchor. It just fell off the chain. I dropped anchor in a treeless part of the lake so the kids could swim. We kept drifting so I pulled the anchor up, actually just the rode and chain. Well, that explained the lack of weight at the other end. And still, I can't wait to go out again with the kids; darn this interfering school stuff! 90 degrees or more with refreshing water temps and four 11 year old girls having a great time at the lake. Saw some wildlife (woodpecker, squirrel) and top-feeding bass; the girls loved it. This boating thing is addictive! The worst day is better than a day at work. |
