well, i joined the club

[mudslinging79]

fathers day, i took the sib out to play on the water, now the ramp i used has been known to have geese around. ok. i pull in, past the state trooper watching things, back in after waiting for the stupid geese to move, wouldnt you know they are protected, launch the sib, then wait for the geese to move their fuzzy butts out of the way so i can park. the trooper is watching this whole time, probably laughing bout the geese.
finally i can park the truck, walk back, and wouldnt you know it, the geese are gone! whatever. i went to hop in and see my back end has 6 inches of water in it, about half way up the tubes. yep, you all guessed it, when i hung my motor before backing in, i forgot to put the plugs in. fortunatly it wasnt busy that day so i was able to beach it and let most of the water drain out before putting the plugs back in. so now before setting free of the trailer, i walk back and make sure the plugs are in.

I find it suspicious that the geese all suddenly 'disappeared' right before you found the boat full of water and the plug missing...

I would definatly blame the geese, as long as no video or still pics are there thats what hapened.

Re: well, i joined the club

forgetting the plug is like runnig aground.
three types of people.
those that have done it.
those that are going to.
those that lie about it.

Re: well, i joined the club

ive been doing a lot of research, and the geese are the culprits. they sem to be trained to pull the plug on the un tended boats. i recieved the information from the squirrel, and the chipmunk confirmed it. i will be out to take video footage later tonight...
