With my history, this should bring a smile.

HDriders buddy Jay and Rivermamma were riding out with me tpo SCJB cove on Saturday. Jay had set two boxes of beer in the boat, one up against the log on the right, which I told him should be fine, but the other leaning right up against the O/T pipe.

YUP, Box caught fire that was up against the O/T pipe! Quickly put out, kinda funny, but not.

Then Nordie and I headed over to Swallow Cove? I think, anyway, to test how rough the water was. About halfway back Nordie noticed the left O/T pipe laying on the splash guard. DAMMIT! the one they didn't weld all the way around on cracked on the top.

After leaving for the dock, through the "perfect storm" it seemed, then had to come back and retreive Terry who was stranded with his flatty. The pipe came clean off. not much coice but to run it, water was still going over the transom. Didn't think about the hot exhaust blasting insode the boat, nor did Nordie.



Some upholstery work is in order, methinks! lol. Nordie had a new diverter cable we put on it, Jay's buddie welded the o/t pipe back up, pretty good this time, but I think some new ones are in order. Just another one of those lessons!

Dang Ray, I hope everyone kept the fireworks away from you. Seems like you are even trying to burn a lake down, if thats possible    And what about the cold ones, how many of those did ya lose   You should be ashamed of yourself, trying to BBQ the cold ones

LOL! Not trying, really, but was my fault for not paying attention where he put the second box of beer. He was gonna throw the box over board, but Koozie saved the day by scooping water up and putting the beer out. None were lost! WHEW!
