Sorry Woody ..... couldn't resist.

That is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen... the Flamingo with WoG on the water...

Oh wait that there is one of those newfangled phartoshop deals ain't it???

Darn it, and here I was gettin ready to show all my friends...oh, I just realized, I don't have any...

Man, I feel so cheated...:facepalm:

Gotta admit though, this is the best dang April Fools I have ever been part of...

Nutin but LUV, Wood...

I promise you the weatherman is going to get you some super-duper sunshiney, calm as a sleeping baby, weather this coming weekend!

Since we're talking about splashing the BF, that's a bird right?

I think WOG is going to be blue about mid-week with a raging case of the bird flu, non-wet BF strain.

I know a guy who knows a guy who slept at Holiday Inn Express once, his medical degree is below. His prescribed cure for non-wet BF strain bird flu, is the following:
>Judicious application of SPF 35 to all exposed dermis surfaces
>Take all necessary steps to vigorously avoid any & all contact (via phone as well, this is a virulent strain, often toxic to one's marriage, career & friendships, but thankfully it's rarely fatal) w/ all parties in anyway affiliated w/ work, you don't want to spread it around, and that lessens the effectiveness of the cure, and it much is less fun for the sufferer currently under the doctor's care.
>Attach the carrier of source of the problem, the BF delivery device, AKA: the trailer, onto the 1st available hitch capable of removing the root source of the infection, quickly, safely and completely.
>Post haste bring the offending BF, to the closest, largest body of Mon-oxide Di-hydrogen capable of thoroughly immersing the exterior surface area of the offending source of the infection, and with amble room to stretch the BF's legs completely, and exhaust all fuel sources the BF is capable of carrying.
>Reapply SPF 35 as needed, additional re-fueling is acceptable, as long as the refilled fuel is also fully consumed. We do not want a relapse anytime soon.
>Repeat daily until normal daily life is again palatable.:D

Prescription refills are available as needed, but please do not abuse the doctor's caring generosity or the prescription refills, others may also need the doctors attention & a cure of their own. Pigish gluttony will be dealt w/ severely & swiftly.:eek:

Good luck w/ your recovery. Admitting you have a problem is the 1st & most important step on the road to recovery.:facepalm:

Hello, my name is John & I know I have a problem.............:cool:

WOW Wood!!!
Lots of support and real funny stuff here.

Hate to see you didn't splash. But really glad to see you safe at home.
There will come the day that the BF splashes.
Hope it's this weekend.
Here's a Easter bunny for good luck.

Hey there. Just got done going through your entire resto and i was excited to see your maiden voyage. Oh well. I had the old starcraft ( your boats tin sissy) out again today and she ran great. Great job on the boat! seems like our boats were in similar condition, and I'll be doing something like what you've done sooner or later. Im thinking patch n paint, seats, and shining her up and thats about it. hopefully it will turn out as nice as the Lone Star Flamingo. Just out of curiosity, What all did you have done to the motor? She's sweet!!! Good luck. cant wait to see!!!

I have definitely made that drive down to the ramp only to turn around and come home upon seeing whitecaps. It's a bummer for sure.
