The unfortunate part about the Wickiup trip is that my in-laws are going. My FIL just bought a new boat and can't drive it to save his soul. He managed to wrap the bow line in the prop over the weekend on it's maiden voyage in Tillamook Bay. Apparently my MIL kept saying that there was something in the water around the motor. He told her to sit down and shut up. It wasnt until he tried to rais the motor and the bow line was taught and couldn't raise the motor that the light came on. Along with a bunch of other stupid stuff. I vowed I would never ride in a boat with him.
Now that is funny as hell!

You have to take video on the trip and post it here. It should be priceless...........

Sorry to disappoint... there won't be any videos. I plan to be far enough away that I won't have to be a witness to any stupidity or assist with any repairs.

You think they can't run the boat?.............

Just wait until you see them try to back it into the water or even better yet, put it back on the trailer.

Dave, I've seen my FIL do it all. Somehow he still comes up with new stupid stuff to pull.

Good morning Oregon FTE gang and friends.

Morning Pat.

Morning Don! Yeah, took vacation for the 4th, 5th, and Monday. Would have been back yesterday, but my wife's grandma passed away last Thursday, and the funeral was yesterday, so took that off also. She had a long life, at 98 years!

In Oregon the Oregon State Board of Examiners for Engineers and Land Surveyor's (OSBEELS) would pursue legal actions against anyone practicing land surveying without a lisence. Even for a fence. I would advise against trying to "survey" with any instrument.
