I took my boat out today and it was a damn disaster. To start off I had to park about a mile away from the marina because parking was filled up, I pay 1300 bucks a year for slip fees then another 100 for a parking pass and I don\'t get any preferential parking which is messed up. Then once on the water I relise my battery is dead so I don\'t have any electronics (LCD tv, dvd player, PS2 etc...). Now comes the fun part, retarded boaters who don\'t know the rules and almost run into me every 5 minutes. I finally sail to where I\'m meeting up with people, I hangout with them and when I decide to leave and motor out of the cove I\'m in, I have a 25cent peice on my engine break. I try to Macgiver it to no avail, so after 2-3 hours trying to fix it I call for a tow. I also try to sail back to the Marina and there is no wind what so ever. The tow took 4 hours to get to us, cost 70 bucks and I\'m so sun burned on my face that I\'m blistering all ready.
So how\'d everyone elses Memorial day weekend go so far?
-
I went boating and almost hit some moron whose battery died and he wouldn\'t get out of my way.
-
I went to a Toyota/Lexus meet..... bbqed all day. Graduation party tonight.

that sucks omen. reminds me of the time when my friends & I went to busch gardens in a 2 car caravan. like a dumbass my car keys fell out of my pocket on a rollercoaster and they said they couldn\'t look for em until after the ride stopped at closing. So we came back later and they couldn\'t find the keys.. called the locksmith who took a good hour and a half to get there and cost me around $70.
your day sounds like that x3 :eek:
Hope Memorial Monday I can get some good R&R before I go back to being lazy again.

I sat at home asleep most of the day. Worked on a project and now here.

my fish died

I had a fish die once and I had fish nightmares for years afterwards...I think it was an evil fish

Sucks about the boat troubles.
My weekend was decent. Spent most of it drinking beers and hanging out at my friend\'s pool. He had a bunch of family and friends over.

My overall weekend was pretty good. Went to 3 diff. BBQ\'s.
Today was annoying though. Just a bad feeling most of the day for some reason.
Anywho..I goto the mall with this cutie and some 20year olds going on 5 are playing with shopping carts in the lot. Why does one of them hit my SRT while we are comming back to the car?
They saw me, but didnt know I was the owner and just kept horsing around. I asked the guy why he did that and he told me to mind my own business. Now I was super pissed and told him b/c it was my car. He was like, uhm..uhh..Oh. I ended up slapping him like a bitch. His 2 other buddies ran away. lol
The guy asked why I hit him, I cocked back to slap him again, but I caught myself and just got in the car and drove away.

well just take a look in the hot babe thread you\'ll see what i\'ve been doin all weekend long...at work that is..:p
*luckee you should\'ve bitch slapped that cat again just for askin\' a dumbass question like that..
-
You should\'ve struck him down with great vengeance(sp). As for my weekend, I got pissed at the referees and the lack of hustle in the Pacers/Pistons game on Sunday and today I worked and made fun of people for no apparent reason.

I was going to but I figured once was enough. I didnt notice any real damage other than a little scuff which rubbed right out with some quik wax and a rag.

you shouldnt save it for that
what if one day you chasing criminals after a bank robbery/drug deal only to find you car blowed up but miraculosly you see a brand new crotch rocket sitting across the street which just so happens to have the keys and even though youve only ridden a motorcycle the one time you display the riding skills of a motocross champ and are able to chase down the bad guys and save the day
sorry ive been watching too many over the top action movies lately

What kind of a loser goes out boating and then spends the entire time watching TV and playing his PS2 anyways?

Give us some suggestions, besides swimming.

I had other people with me, and usually about 1 or 2 people don\'t dig sailing, the heeling (when the boat tips to one side when it catches wind) of the boat freaks them out, so I just send them down into the cabin.

You\'re lucky, I was about to call you a loser.
What are your friends\' names? They\'re the losers.
-
Nothing worse for sea sickness than sitting in a cabin of a sailboat. That must make for some fun.

yes, yes they are losers. I am starting to get where I don\'t bring people like that with me anymore. If they want to do that stuff when we are camping over, then fine, but try and enjoy the sun and water you pasty bastards (even though they aren\'t pasty nerds, nonetheless)
