OT.. friday 13th...

when i started out this morning i planned on registering my truck, boat and renewing my license. never planned on this...







after all the fun was over i called my dad. he brought a trailer and we put the boat on it and i hooked the chains from the mangled boat trailer up to my truck and limped the trailer to his house and then went to the dmv. after spending more money and some cutting and welding its fixed again





had enough fun with the boat for awhile. i think im gonna work on my next project.

You are blessed that that did not happen in the DMV parking lot....
"could I get a license for my boat that I drove into the front door..."?

Hope all is well with the truck/boat/ and you and the trailer is fixable.

My wife works for an insurance company and some of the stories she brings home are so sad and many could have been avoided.

Folks keep your equipment in good order.....Someone elses life may depend on it. This is no jab at you bcaughhorn, just most people do not do the preventative maintenance and then bad things happen.
