Re: An offer made...

That is a great way to torture you! Kuddos to them.

BTW, my wife informs me that NEITHER of them was betting in your favor, they simply bet on how LONG it would take you to complain! So they were both against you!

(One nit to pick though... you say they backed down the ramp, THEN got the boat ready. Is that a typo? Does that mean they loaded everything onto the boat while blocking the ramp? Or do you mean, they did the last second things, like removed the stern/bow safety straps and prepared the winch strap for removal?)

that is funny, glad you got to get out on the water and now you know in your mind that they are both capable of doing everything by themselves. so after you get back in to good health they can help you out by doing the leg work and all you will have to do is pilot the boat. good job bubba, you have a great family and friends. get well soon. now that you have passed their "test" are they taking you out again next weekend?

You know you have done a good job of teaching when they go through all that effort of trying to think of ways to trip you up,sounds like a great family to me.I bet you are feeling better today

You have some GREAT women in your life. You are a better man than me to have kept quiet during all of that! Thanks for a great post!

So what's the plan for next weekend??

So glad you had a great day and great to hear you kept quiet and left them to it.:)
Thinking about letting my family give it a try now :eek:
They have done it without me being there before but I was not there to see it and the boat did not sink so they must be doing it right.
Good on you for what you did :D When are they taking you next ???:D
