Just when I needed a camera...I forgot it

Last weekend Lois and I stopped by Fort Apache "north" with our boat behind us and seen a bunch of people there winterizing their boats. So we stopped by to say hello before we put our Fountain away for the winter.

I had my flame arrestors and valve covers custom painted the previous week. I have all the colors that run through the boat, now into the cleaners and v-covers. I pulled the cover off to show the guys what a nice job Dave Wesseldyk from Wesco racing engines up in Jennison Mi. did on them. I wanted to run another couple gallons of antifreeze through the engines, so I asked "Mr. Cig" if he'd climb aboard and hold the hose and funnel in the engine compartment for me while I start the engines.
Well, he did, but he looked kinda scared, so I thought. Once he got on board, he asked me if I had a camera. I replied no, I forgot it. why? He said that he could'nt have a picture get around the board with him in a Fountain. It'd ruin his image. LMAO

He looked pretty good in a Fountain, I think next summer when no ones watchin, I'm gonna take him for a spin on the lake.

Mark, thanks again for your help last sunday.

I knew it, he has been trying to get a ride on the new rough water champion boat on the south side of the lake.. The Purple Aces .. but he has to go and hide out on the North side. He must still be in denial. Mark the 1st step is admitting you are a Fountina guy.....BZ
