Well went to Chippawa Creek Conservation for the long week-end. what an expierence.
Ok first of all We couldn't leave until after midnight because the wife had to work nights, so we never got there until 1:30 Saturday morning. Got there, had a couple of beers and went to bed.
Saturday woke up at 7 am and settled in, Decided to take the boat out at about 11:00 am so we went to the Grand river, Never got nothing there in three hours, So we backed the vanb down the ramp and started lining the trailer up to the boat, I get in the van and pushed the brakes and they went right to the florr, BLEW boht the front and the back brake lines, SO i jammed the van into first and floored it outta there before i went swimming. When i got the boat and van off the ramp i rolled to a stops, and got out and looked at the boat, It was two inches off the roller, SO we got the jack and lifted it up that two inches, Four of us trying to push it over, I was pushing from underneath and the jack slips, Leaving the boat ontop of me wedged between the boat and trailer, The other three i was with managed to lift it up enough so i could wiggle out, Was a little stiff but better now, So the van is still at the campground, Gotta go back and fix this week, But decided to fish the river at night, The welland river, Gotta about 12 cats between the two nights and a couple of sheephead, But that was my fun filled week-end.
