Ever Do Something Stupid With Your Boating? , Or Maybe More Than One Thing....... The Dumbest I Ever Felt Was Shortly After Turning Onto Hwy 52 Outside Windsor, Still Dark I Noticed Some Sparks Behind Me And Thought Crap A Bearing Or Something....i Forgot To Unplug The Battery Charger, Extinsion Cord And All.... Still Works But Man How Stupid......

Ok I'll bite, I too have forgot to unplug the charger and man what a fire works display that was as I pulled down the drive. The funniest though was when I tried to launch the boat with one of the back straps still attached. The 1st time I backed in I thought I had backed up onto a rock or something since one side of the trailer was up on top of the water still, so I pulled up and moved over and backed in again. This time I got out of the truck and went to look at it. It was 30 some degrees out and I thought the boat must be froze to the bunks and it will thaw in a minute. 5 minutes go by and still the trailer is on top of the water. I look at my son and say you did get both back straps didn't you, he says I think so, so I go look in the truck and only see one. I pull up and sure enough one is still attached. I thought the guy on the other side of the dock who saw the whole thing was going to fall in the lake laughing.:D

I am the new guy so I will post one.

Walked across the boat carrying the days pride and joy, a nice 16 in slab from Truman near Bucksaw, tripped on my tackle bag and me and fish and pole ended up in the lake. Got the pole back, fish is still swimming.

My son and I got ready to go gigging one night. We put the rail on in my makeshift garage and started to pull out. I heard a huge pop and stopped. We had left our meat hooks hanging on the roof from deer season and the joist caught on the rail and busted the ceiling joist. The next deer season we were skinning a deer and noticed getting shocked a little. We closer to getting it done when I laid my hand on the ham and got waylaid by a dose of electricity. I started looking around and figured out that the meat hooks had opened up a wire which rubbed on some chicken wire which holds my insulation up which was touching the meat hooks. My garage is completely rewired now!!!
