Funny day at lake mead
« on: June 14, 2010, 07:40:29 AM »
I went out to the lake yesterday with my family in tow along with my sister-in-law and her daughter in their barge. I drop the 24' monster in the water at Callville and since it's so low right there at the ramp I tell my sister-in-law not to put the drive all the way down until she's out 50 or so feet. Just as I start to brag about how good my brothers wife is with their equipment I turn around to see her almost back into another boat (the guy is screaming at her, this is what attracted my attention) so with the drive still in the all the way up or "trailer" mode she puts it in forward and just about blows this guy off of his boat, lmao. Then is headed for the small dock at the ramp, can't find the emergency brake (I'm almost crying just trying to type this) so she reahes over the windshield to try and stop it from hitting the dock (all at a very slow speed) and then manages to front flip out of the boat into the water (fully dressed ofcourse). I park barely out of the way and go help her. It took all I had, knowing how embarrassed she was not to laugh in her face. No people or boats were injured during the making of this story btw. So the moral here is, don't give anybody too much credit and always, I mean always, bring a video camera so that we can all enjoy!

The weather was perfect! Not too hot, little wind and a little smoother than last weekend.

   Be sure and show her this thread and how you told hundreds of total strangers about her experience.  ;D

Oh yeah, be sure someone videos the proceedings.   >:D

Well I was gonna say that you should take her to Site 6 next, but that would be a decidedly unfriendly thing to do.  Funny yes, but not nice.

Speaking of Site 6,  how come there is no video of this place on youtube?   Anybody got any links?

Brad, That is the funniest shit Ive heard on this forum!!! Funnier than the "cow incident." After reading the post below I was cracking up as if I was there. FUNNY $HIT! LOL.

Post from Marcsrollin...

"Man yesterday was such a long story I don't know where to begin!
When Rod and I got there Charles' boat wouldn't even run! It ran for about 2 minutes the entire day. I towed him to a beach spot so we could screw with it , And spent the entire day doing so. I even had to go back to the docks so Rod could get tools out of the truck cause his edelbrock carb was all put together withe torx screws. After spending a couple of hours screwing with his boat Rod had to leave to go take care of some business so I went to tow chaz back in. He was hammered drunk. So I tie my end of the rope to my boat and he was supposed to tie his end to his boat. Well his end never got tied so when I started my engine and went to take off the rope got sucked into my impeller! Damn no knife or blade of any kind anywhere , so I flag down a fisherman and borrow one. At this point I am burnt and pissed. So I do the best I can to get the rope out and get my boat started and off we go. Get about a third of the way to the docks and I look back and chaz's boat is there but he is nowhere to be seen so I double back almost all the way back and find him floating there. He is soo drunk it took him 15 minutes to climb in the boat and even then I had to help him in. Then the worst part of the day happens I RUN OUT OF GAS!
So I untie his boat in hopes of making it back and can't get up on a plane cause there is still rope in my impeller. The lady from the dock gives me 5 gallons of fuel so I can idle back to the dock and I send her to pull chaz in. When I get back to the dock and go to return her gas can there is three people in the office complaining that there is a drunk guy and they want the cops called. It turns out they are talking about chaz. So I panic and tell him to get the FU_K out of here quick and next thing I know he goes in to talk to them. I go back and talk to the lady and she told me that when she got to his boat he was soo drunk that it took here a long time to wake him up. (he was passed out drunk in the boat in the middle of the lake) I was afraid the people complaining were going to call the cops themselves so I had to to get out of there also. So the cop lady tells me she will give him some coffee and make him call someone to come and get him so I bailed.

All this took place in about 8 hours."
