F. All of the above.

Peggy was running to find something to put under the tires. I was yelling at her to stay back and she thought I was saying throw yourself under the tires. She found a big rock and fell forward in the mud on her face,stood up and fell backwards, rolled over and stood up. By then it had come to a stop. She never did loose a shoe or the rock.

When the boat went off the the black top I thought it was going to roll off the trailer. but the jack stand just started to plow in the soft dirt and stop. It cut a nice 10' long furrow.

When we realized everything was alright we fell on the ground and laughed hysterically for a long while.

Then came the job of getting it out.

When we got to the hotel at about 4:00 AM, we waked in bare foot, full of mud, blood and some other stuff. Peggy just said to the receptionist. Wild party and we keep on walking. She didn't even blink.

I do wish I had it on video.

Roger. That story is just as funny now as it was the 1st. time I heard it.
It's even better when Peggy is in the background mocking Roger.

You need to hear the live version when the 2 of them are together.

Roger,

How you managed to tell Dan and I the whole story so calmly the very next day was amazing. At first I really thought you were making it up. Glad everything turned out OK but that is still hysterical.

Steve

You know boating is my life. On land or sea.

Back to the question. Sorry RJ1340 Who's up for SOTW this year? I know I had a great time last year, even with all the problems I had and Steve I did get more than a rug for $1000.00. There was a real cool Frisbee in the bag too.

If I'm going, it'll be to watch and drool (the lake level DOES need to come up some). I've just got too many other damn hobbies to justify a $1000 boat ride. Which is a reason I love COPS.

Oh yeah, Hammond boys. I was out there last Friday to check on my hoist so I looked in on all of them. Other than the 6 inch snow drifts on the docks that were a pain in the butt, all was well. How come not everyone takes the hoses out of the water?
