I almost forgot....and this a good one...

Sam and I went for a little boat ride the yesterday. It was around 6 PM and I had just been outside watering the flowers and he asked if I wanted to go for a quick ride. We headed out and things went smoothly....until we were in the channel headed home. We were just around the bend in the marsh when the motor started acting up and sputtering around. It died and we could not get it started. So, we were drifting over into the marsh and had to put the motor up really quick so it wouldn't drag if we hit a very shallow area. We flagged down a passing boat and a nice guy and his wife towed us back to our house. We gave him directions and as we pulled up, Cliff was standing on the dock looking at us funny. The guy that towed us yelled to him, "Do you know these people?" Cliff yelled, "No, never seen the before in my life." lol....We all thanked the gentleman and his wife for the help and tied up the friggin' boat. I have to call and see if we can get someone to look at it for us. It's always an adventure with us.

Did you check the gas guage before you went out on the boat.

Ha,Ha.....we had a full tank of gas and a back up tank that was not completely full but had enough gas to get us aound the bay and back again a few times.

I am a total jinx....so if I didn't put a fun spin on things I would probably be a terribly depressed person.
