Happy Labor Day! Do you have big plans for the weekend? I have a feeling we will be out on the boat. We recently traded our old one in and the new one has rekindled my interest in being out on the lake.
Our old barge had started out as a pretty nice pontoon, but the years hadn't been kind to the poor old thing. After 15 years, it was time to say good bye.
The dang thing wasn't leaving us voluntarily though. As soon as we got it up and out of the water, the trailer had a flat. Right in the way of other boat traffic.
We were kind of stranded there til my son arrived to give me and the tire a ride to the tire repair shop, where for a quick $9, the valve stem was replaced.
This had taken a bit longer than we'd planned and we were worried that we wouldn't have it fixed before the new boat arrived…. Then we started to wait for the new boat.
And we waited
And we waited.
Til we got a call saying that the guy bringing it also had a flat tire.
A few hours late, but all ended up working out. We now have a new pontoon, with a much bigger motor. This one will pull a skier, and we foresee another 15 years or so of family fun on the lake with it.
Enjoy your lake time!
I will be spending a lot of time trying to reclaim the affectionately/frustratedly termed “craft hovel/extra bedroom”!!! I cannot begin to tell you the sorry state that small room has deteriorated into! I have many hours of work ahead of me. I am eager to get ‘er done, though, because Christmas creating is calling my name. 🙂
Happy Labor Day weekend, Karla!
