There always pretty good entertainment at the local boat launch.
But thats a show stopper.
No malice intended. Hope everything works out insurance wise.

My Wife , when she was six months pregnant. Moved my my 88 pickup to the end of the driveway. Got out & left it in neutral. (Thats how her dad taught her to drive a stick. )

Down the street it went (400 ft ). It was stopped by a house , it was doing 35 mph. When it hit the homeowner was taking a shower. He thought he was having a heart attack.
When the police showed up, all he could say was (She's pregnant you cant even yell at her)
Stuff happens , as long as nobody gets hurt all is good.

That picture where you can just make out the reflective TowBoatUS in the background is funny.

We used to go to the local busy lake with a 6 pack of brews and watch the funny stuff at the boat launch. People launching boats without putting the plugs in, (yes, I've done it once, but lots of yelling and swearing going on then and you really see how strong a marriage is!!!), then you have the people loading the boats by trying to drive them on the trailer rollers. It is quite impressive how much fiberglass comes off the bottom of the boat. They will try 2 or 3 times before they finally load it by hand.

Funny stuff, boy I miss those days...
