The Coops spent the holiday weekend in Branson. On the afternoon of the fourth we launched on Table Rock to play, grill some din din and wait for the fireworks. Had a great time. Weather was chamber of commerce, fireworks were outstanding and everyone on the water behaved very well. However, someone forgot to reserve a transient slip, so we had to trailer the boat at the end of the evening (about 10:00 as I recall). The scene at the ramp was what I would describe as ordered chaos. There was a LOT of ramp traffic as one might expect, but everyone was behaving and practicing restraint and good manners, especially the gentleman who was helping the admiral back the trailer down the ramp. As I pulled forward and lined up to load I started to shout a thanks. It was about that time I realized that neither the admiral, the truck nor the trailer belonged to me.:facepalm: Fortunately I made this discovery before I loaded the boat.:laugh: Everyone was a good sport about it and the vice admiral is happy because she has a new story to tell on her old man.
