I'll give ya the short version of the Boat Saga....hubby thought Friday I'd just called in relief Rph of him to get caught up on his compounding...but, I was really taking him out to try out the boat he'd seen.....SO....He was very excited when we told him what we were really doing...bless his heart! So we load up....The Professor....(my son that has worked 4 yrs. selling boats at Buxton Marine during college), Mr. Howell, (my hubby), Mary Ann (me) and GILLILGAN....the idiot owner of the boat....Ok guys, get this visual....here we are at the county boat ramp at Lake Palestine, with a 26ft sea cruiser, older, but nice looking from the outside..which is what caught Mr. Howell's eye....(he peers into every one of them that pulls up at the Inner Harbor in Baltimore when I'm there for my check-up, I think dreaming makes the stress less for him during those times, which is another reason I thought he deserved it, he's gone thru alot too...)....anyway....here's a bunch of lake lizards as we call them....laid up on the pier, drinking quarts of Mad Dog 22, and Bud, spitting chaws of tobbaco off into the water, scratching their butt cracks, which happen to be hanging out, and with a total population of about 4 teeth betw. about 9 of them....lol....barefoot, you get the pic...so here we are, ready for our outing, and they're going..."hey Man, don't ya need a bigger boat?".....ha ha ha ha.....need some minnows or shrumps, anything?....OMG....we're just smiling and waving.....Boat takes off....going good across the lake so far....I go down to the galley and its just a mess down there...I mean the guy has known for a WEEK that we're going out on his boat, that he wants to sell....and it cost us alot to take a day off....anyway, while I'm picking up yr. old bottles of salsa out of the sink to see what it looks like, and check out the refrig. with yr. old bananas and a can of bursting Redi-Whip..I'm asking...where do you turn on the A/C...to which I get..."well, right there, but we've never used it, but it works".....to my "where do you turn on the hot water heater?"...."right there, it works, but we never use it"....me..."how do you flush the toliet?"...."right there, it works great, but we never use it".......HUH?????......OMG.....was THAT what was floating in the water back next to the lake lizards?.....Now guys, you don't as an adult just jump off this boat to go "potty" in the lake, I mean its a drop to the water in spots....get my drift.....lol......my saltwater T.I.T's would be upended to my collar bone if I bailed out to pee....not real worth it....lol.....I look in the shower, and there's some lake stained brown....(gawd I hope its lake stain brown...)...skivvies and a rotten 'ol black lace bra....about now.....I'm figuring this guy and his wife/hussie(s), whatever...are taking the boat out a bit on the lake, filming a lil porn or sex tapes, and crusing back to dock.....yikes....I was about to want to bail out when the boat stops......I poke my head up to see smoke pouring out the back, and my son's eyes looking a tad more than concerned....I started looking around to see where we were, and from the look on my son's face, it seemed we may need AN EXIT STRATEGY!!!!!......OMG....Gilligan the porn star is going..."omg, I hope we're not out of gas, I hope we're not out of gas"....and I'm going...."well, uh, you knew we were going out today, you didn't put any gas in the tank?"....."and besides that, usually it doesn't smoke like hell when its just out of gas"....my son is snickering....and starting to raise the lid over the big ass engine that is right under us....great....something is rubber and burning over the engine, and Gilligan is still sticking with his story about running out of gas...well, dude, check the gauge...oh I know, it works, BUT YOU NEVER USE IT....seriously we're about to get choke from smoke, and I'm thinking, I am NOT swimming to shore, so somebody's cell better work, or this TITANIC better have 911 capabilities...This chump is just spazzing out....I swear he was fixing to say... "See there, that's good, anytime you wanna just throw some Earl Campbell sausage in foil down there when ya pull outta the ramp, them suckers will be well done by the time ya stop to eat".....My son gets the TUB running again, and then Gilligans story is its JUST BAD GAS....been in there a year....(holy mother of GAWD, did he check this out 'fore we went out so he could sell it..thank goodness he didn't, cuz I had it lined up to get it for hubby if all went well...omg...).....The tank is clacking and spurting and smoking all the way back to the lake lizards who are now rolling about this huge boat limping into "port"...you guess it, about oh, give or take 20 ft. from the pier, the sucker dies....Gilligan had to jump off the boat, and pull the 26ft. yacht to shore, belly hanging out, up to his nibbles in brown water....all the while, he was saying...a hundred times....ITS JUST BAD GAS....Well....the rest of us HAD BAD GAS OURSELVES AFTER NEARLY BEING KRISPY KRITTERS WITH THE PORN STAR.....Hell, I had BAD GAS all night! LOL Talk about National Lampoons Yacht Adventure....ewwwwwww.......Needless to say, we laughed all the way back home, boatless, and thankful we weren't toast....haven't seen the tub parked in its usual spot either...we got off, and hauled ass....Gilligan may still be out there, who knows...!!! Abducted by the lizards, they could have a Big and Rich party on that thing till it gets hung up someplace.... We looked at boats in Houston on the way down to eat and go to Joel Osteens, somehow I think we'd have better luck getting a nice boat, on our way to church, than with my nasty man and his floating sex palace....lol..... I prayed for ALL OF US...and the sermon was Awesome...I'll try to post the words and how it helped me sooooo much in this struggle, in the What we Believe section later....Love you All!
Bear, sorry to see you are punky...let me know if you need supplies!
More2....WAhhhhhWhoooo...guys, we're meeting up in the desert on the 11th!!!
Nibs, love those lil munchkins of yours!
Luv, hope all is well today, know you are busy!
Bootsie, you should've been with on Friday....you'd have added to the story....Whew....Morrison, seen any nice boats around Vegas?....lol....Poor Chuckles....his lil 'ol lower lip was sad, til he nearly died laughing....at least he knew I had the best intentions...even if it nearly killed us!.....
