Thought I should share my day from hell. I was in a crabby mood to begin with, didnt really want to go boating wih all the idiots on the Fourth of July. Got boat put in without a hitch and headed to the swim cove to have some lunch. Mounted the magma grill and over the side goes the gas valve, such a poor design to have that piece loose like it is. There goes 40 bucks and its all my fault. Rest of day pretty good until we moved to other side of lake, swam there for a while and went to leave....anchor is stuck. Stuck good to....I finally got mad and pulled it out with the boat and bent the hell out of it. Happy to not have lost it though. Wife requested a floaty for the truck keys as she backs the truck in. So I bought her one, this is the first time we had it on the keys. I drop her at the dock as normal and she fell in the lake.....chain on float broke and lost truck keys. Had to wait for my mom to go to my house pick up spare and drive to the lake. I'm glad it's over....all you can do is laugh now.

Well at least no one got hurt and the boat was running and in one piece at the end of it!
Here no boating yesterday because we had the remnants of Arthur....

Just remember...a bad day on the water is better than a good day at the office (work). :)
