What A Weekend!!

So this last weekend started out a bit rough, but got better as it went on. Friday afternoon I got off work early and gave my buddy's a call. They said that they were thinking about taking the boat out for a while. So I met up with them and we hooked the boat up to my truck and off to the lake we went. We had plenty of gas, the lights on the trailer were working, we had all of the life jackets and we even remembered the knee board for some fun. We were all set! We got to the lake and got the boat in the water when we realized that we had forgotten to put the plug in. So Aaron walked in the water and put in the plug on the boat. Now I was trying to get the motor to turn over. Well needless to say that didn't happen. I only was pulling about 10.5 amps from the batteries when i needed at least 12 amps to start the motor. BUMMER!!! So we hooked the boat back up and headed back home to charge the batteries. Saturday morning we decided to get up and try this again, with charged batteries!! We called some of our other friends to head out to the lake with us. So I pulled the boat to the lake and Aaron and I met up with Bill and Rachel to go boating. This time the motor started and we remembered the plug!! Now by this point in time we were all so happy to be on the water that we forgot to put on sun screen. Go figure!! We had fun, but by the time we spent 4 hours on the lake we were all a bit red! Oh well, it was worth it. Aaron and I are the only two that could drive the boat on Saturday so we took turns pulling each other around the lake. We tend to have a battle when we pull each other as to who can be worse to the other one, but we played nice. However when we went out again on Sunday, Aaron was feeling.... not so nice... He decided to make circles with the boat and then pull me right through them. I gave up about the third time through them. Now on a knee board 3 ft wakes are HUGE!!!! And can be rather painful when you get thrashed by them. We forgot a camera all weekend which we were all bummed about, but oh well, what can ya do. Anyway, back to work I go for now.
