:laughs: ...I gotta laugh about this now...
Got up dis mornin' @ 3am...met up with the boat-gye. He's got the hood open on the Ford, snooping around with a flashlight...when he sees me...he says..."got any fuses, the tail lights on the trailer blew one out"...I go lookin', I got nada in the style he needed..<<<20amp>>>...foreign vz. domestic.....he pulls out the rear wiper fuse...and as he's pushing it in..I ask..."did you find out WHY it blew"..:smash: ...ZAPP!!...too late, blew another one... :hs: ..I investigate and find the wires being pinched by the ball-hitch...we lift and remove them to find them crushed. We take care of that, and he pulls out the anti-theft fuse...and shazaam, we got light. Start heading to ** * * ** :D, yeah..that spot...cruising at a lovely 60 mph...when suddenly, "POP" goes the left trailer tire, we almost lose it - but he regains control...he decides to stop in the "slow" lane :hs:...We're not out of the truck 5 minutes when along comes an 18wheel rig..."AAAAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!"...just missing us as we're right next to an off-ramp right after a bend in the highway...phew!!...we move the truck/trailer into the breakdown lane...I take a peek into his cargo area and see a spare tire...he's still cursing the flat...so I open the tail-gait-window...and then he says..."what are ya doing?"...I say..."getting your spare out"...he says..."Why???....it's flat, I hit a curb yesterday..."...:biglaugh: :biglaugh: ...we start taking the gear out of the boat while he curses away and I'm just laughing my aRse off, (what else can ya do? right).....So what next??...yep, mr. police-officer pulls up. My boat gye says "oh #^&#^&#^&#^&!!...I ask him what's the matter...he says "I lost my license this weekend, you drove oK??"...:biglaugh:...what a freakin' mornin'.....After we explain what happened, and why I was driving the boat-gye's truck, <<yeah right>>..he follows us to a Park & Ride. We unhitch the trailer...and get ready to depart. Mr. Policeman says..."hey, do you guys know your boat isn't registered??"..."where's the sticker??"...:smash: ...
What a $#%#$% morning!!!
Morale of the story???...I dont' know!!!...just thought I'd share an experience where many things can be learned. BE PREPARED FOR ANYTHING!!
Bloo-
...p.s...(yeah, he was pissed that I took a picture...and couldn't stop laughing the whole time)...
