I was that guy today. I was going to pull the pontoon today. I went to the public landing and parked my truck and the trailer on the ramp in the water, then walked the 1/4 mile home to get the pontoon. In my defense all the dock are pulled on the lake, and it is the opening weekend of gun season...
Finally got our first frost this morning got down to 25 degrees a little bit of ice on the bay. Pontoon is still moored out out, that is a tomorrow project.
I will drive to avoid regional airports I want a direct flight with a plated meal in 1st class, regional flights always run late and then get downgraded and sit in the back.
Had a week from hell. Had to leave the house 3:30 Sunday morning to catch a 7 am flight. Land in Atlanta drive 3-1/2 hours to Huntsville. Tuesday I woke up and was cold and felt off. I was able to attend a few sessions but by 3pm it was over I went back to my hotel room went to bed only goy out...
I did talk the the leader of the dock crew and offered him $500 in advance next spring I will prepay for the removal but I want early in and late out. Nice guy he had another guy and his kid helping. I will gladly support a young kid working to earn $
Sad day the dock is getting pulled today. The crew charges me $180, I give them $200 because I didn't have to do anything. Don't tell them but I would gladly pay $500 a year to not deal with it.
