Boats
When we moved into our neighborhood we said we'd have to get a boat...I mean, we live on a 58 acre lake, of course we needed a boat. Well, within 6 months, neighbors had given us 4 boats. No, I'm not kidding, 4 boats. Oh sure, they aren't Bayliners or anything like that, but they all float. Well, we went to go boating last week and found our boat that we keep in the lake to be...well, more in the lake than not. Today, my kids and I went down to pull the boat out of the lake and then re-launch it. Anybody ever pulled a boat filled with water out of a lake before? All I can say is, don't try this at home...these people performing this act are professionals. Yessirree...a pickup truck, heavy rope, a couple of 2 by 6's...we were in business. It took us an hour and a half, but it was fun and well worth it. I guess our bilge pump just couldn't pump the water out of the boat when it was completely clogged with leaves and mud...sheesh...they just don't make them like they used to.
Anyway...the next two weeks will be designated for lowering the number of boats we own...anybody want to come get one?
