Dale Hollow Day Two
Stacey, Linda and I woke up early and decided we were going to go back
to Dale Hollow to take the tires off the boat trailer. We loaded the
jack and some tools in the truck and drove to Burkesville. I thought I
would look to see what time Jeff's Tire Service opened. Hmm, they
weren't open on Saturday at all. Well, that changed the plans. We went
directly to the Corner to eat breakfast and then headed back home. As we
drove up the driveway we could see that Pauline and Brent were at our
house. We talked about the tires and decided to go boating and take the
tires off the trailer after we had finished. We packed the coolers and
headed to the lake about 9:30. We hooked up the trailer in the parking
lot and pulled it down to the lake and launched the boat. We didn't go
far away, just over to our favorite cove and enjoyed swimming and
lounging on the water.
We cooled off in the lake, then ate lunch and took a ride after
eating. We stopped in a cove and swam for a long time until, a boat
close to us wouldn't start, so we helped them by jumping their boat from
our boat's battery. Their boat's starter had locked up, they beat it
loose and then we jumped started the boat and they were on their way.
Since we had everyone in the boat and had loaded everything up, we
decided to head on in and take the boat out of the water. It was a
little after 4 PM when we pulled off the boat ramp and parked the boat
and trailer in the upper parking lot. Brent and I took the two wheels
and tires off the trailer while the girls cleaned up the boat and then
we covered it up and unhooked the truck from the trailer. We drove home
and went inside, then Stacey began to have some seizure problems. She
was starting to have involuntary muscle movements, indicating the
possibility of having a seizure, but never had one. I gave her one of
her diazepam and it took a few minutes to kick in to effect. We all set
in the bedroom and watched TV and Stacey until she was feeling better.
She was tired, but not having any involuntary movements. Finally, Linda
and her went to bed in the front bedroom. She was OK all night and the
next morning.
