TexasT's House

[Dieseler]

the locks are a 24 hour operation so i climbed than darn fence and walk over to the lock masters little house and go up to the glass front door and look in and see this fella laid out on the table sleeping.

I bang on the door and bang an finally he gets up looks at me like he saw a ghost and im point to the lock gates , he got the idea what i wanted and held up hi index finger as in wait i'll open the gates.

To bad my Becky could not operate the boat cause i had to climb that damn fence again and by now i was straight....lol
Got back on the boat and i swear till this day i did not have to tie up once i motored into the locks cause that guy drop the water so fast and opened them gates right away for me i guess he felt i was gonna report him but i would never do that.

We got back to the marina and that was that.
there was another time i was out partying with some friends and i spotted a dead body in the river.
But thats for another time i gonna get some rest now.

Sorry i type slow and hit wrong keys i know it can be boring to read bits and pieces here and there.
But all in all its a true story that will stay always stay with me.
That boat was fun but a heck of a lot of upkeep cause it was all wood .

OMG a dead body? Very nice story Dies! Have you ever been to the Kankakee River? I went fishing/boating there with parents when young.

Our boat was made for speed and made from kevlar but it was a helluva lot to upkeep. I could only imagine wood

I LOVE your stories! Not boring at all IMO

Yup been there we used to wade in it and catch small mouth bass.

Before Becky i was dating her cousin .
Ouch.....
Becky found out right away though and that was the end of things but it was fun while it lasted.
Hey i was younger !
Thats why i waited so darn long to get married finally.

 

[Dieseler]

Yeah Sd that darn container is to far North for me...lol

 

[Dieseler]

I do have a good out of the way spot for it though off one of the gutters in yard that would be mostly hidden from view .
Neighbors cant say much cause im on a corner lot.
One day i fine one but will probably be moved outta this state by then.

 

[Dieseler]

Yes Salem them boats are nice very nice and lots of fun been on a few in past.
Now a days with the price of gas it would be expensive to own larger boats especially the fast ones.

The nice thing about living in the boonies and in the middle of 15 acres of woods is that neighbors can't see us lol

Maybe they have some closer to you? The magic of Craigs list. *Just watch out for the scammers!

Oh yeah, it would. That was back in the 80s and 90s and gas was rough then.

HA! Well, you can't say that we bailed on you lol Thanks for the nice story. I enjoyed it.

I am also sleepy (an hour ahead of you both) so am going to call it a night too.

Good night, DL and Sd

I could put one on my unclaimed property where I have a garden. However, I need it close to the house to use the guttering system. Oh I would have one of these for sure if I was out in the country. However, I would have a well and of course it would be cheaper than village water.

Goodnight Dies and Salem. Thanks for sharing the story with us. Take care and good night! Dies your bailing before us????????
