Ouch!

Another reason I like early morning runs at the lake and stay away from anything that smells like an organized event (fire works that night). I went once years ago to this same event and swore never again. The mayhem was unbelievable.

Boating is a contact sport?   Well for some around here it is  >:D      Please play safe people.

Bartlett next trip. Boat working good as I learn... like getting gas at the bay and some fool cuts qacross my bow in the no wake zone and I am driving limp spagetti at that speed. Sheesh what a turd. I popped it in reverse ancd let him figufre out how to get outta my way. I still need lots of slow speed practice as manuevering is pretty funny. At least with ropes iget to the dock nice without jockeying around showing how bad I am at slow speed

maybe the weekend after? this next weekend I have to put together a race bike and hit the honeydo list that has been langusihing ever since I got the Dirga Dirga. My wife says all I do now at home is work on the boat and go to the lake.  Whats her point?  ;D

I just mention would she prefer that I go back to racing bikes full time?
The boat looks golden then. Ha!
