Sea Ray Work
I called Davidson's Marine and got the OK to take the Sea Ray out there.
It is located south of Burkesville on 61 almost to the turn for
Hendrick's Creek Marina. Linda was working, so Stacey and I hooked up
the boat, but had to bring it up to the house and fill the tire with air
before towing the boat to Davidson's. It took about 15 minutes to get
there and then I unhooked the trailer and went inside to give them my
phone number. I stood there a few minutes and talked to Joe, the owner.
I told him I wanted the oil, oil filter, sparkplugs, and gas filter
changed. I said I also wanted the boat winterized. He wrote it down
along with my number and said it would be a couple days and he would
call when it was finished. We continued to talk about how low the lake
was getting, how there wasn't as many boaters this year and about the
size of some of the houseboats. We both had heard there was talk about
passing a rule regarding the size of houseboats. Stacey and I headed
home.
Once home, I took Stacey and hooked the black trailer behind
the Mule and we put the lawnmower on the trailer and took it to the
opening back in the holler behind the trailer. I used the mower to trim
the grass around the 50 trees we had planted there earlier in the
summer. I ended up mowing the entire opening. We put the mower back on
the trailer and towed it back to the hay shed and unloaded. We put the
trailer up and then it was time for another driving lesson for Stacey. A
couple laps around the hay fields and then back to the house. I also put
the cover on the back of the CK pickup.
