Oh gosh no. I'm much smarter than that.<br /><br />However:<br /><br />A few weeks ago, <br /><br />***<br />I have a long driveway that runs from the street, up to the house, into the backyard along the side of the house, and on into the detached garage behind the house. Total- I'd guess its almost 100 feet long.<br /><br />Naturally, all the toys are in a line starting at the garage.<br /><br />Taking out the rear boat involves moving the wife's car, and the other boat in front of the rear one.<br /><br />You end up with cars and boats strewn all up and down the street during such a move/shift.<br />****<br /><br /> The hydro was in the garage, the 21' day cruiser was next in line, then the wife's car.<br /><br />I was going to take out the hydro the next morning after I got up at the crack of Noon.<br /><br />I moved everything out in the street. Parked the hydro up the block, put the 21'er back, then instead of backing it from 3 houses up the street, I just hopped in and drove around the block with the hydro to get int a good position to stop, back it in around the corner a few yards, and put it in front of where the wife's car was going to be. That way, when she went to work the next morning, I could whip the truck around and back up, hitch up and take the hydro to the lake. <br /><br />Everything is going as planned, I drove around the block, got the trailer all set to back in,,, I started backing the hydro up into the slot to be in front of her Explorer.<br /><br /><br />Then this sweet voice calls out, "Hunnn,,,,,,,,<br /><br />why are you dragging around the battery charger and extension cord behind your boat? I don't think that's very good for it".
<br />Hopefully it is not too expensive of a fix.<br /><br />One more thing....did you notice it whilst driving out of the driveway, or when you got back from boating(if you even went).
