Didnt save shit!!! Decided to go local to save a few bucks went to elsinore. Went for the last pass around the lake because the launch ramp was a zoo. Cruisen about 4000 rpm moter sounded kinda wierd looked at the gauges oil psi ok fuel psi ok everything looked alright started to slow down to stop sounded like shit Wife said smoke I said oh shit!!! Opened the hatch and I had water up to the starter spilling over to the batteries. Turned on the bilge pumps pumped 8 quarts of fresh oil and water mix into my favorite lake started looking for help and luckily one other boat stopped and towed us to the lakelice and idiot infested dock area. Luckily was able to float it and tie up to the dock and load with no problems and no damage. Today I cleaned and cleaned and assessed the damage found big hole in both sides of oil pan pieces of engine in bilge sometimes Life sucks!!! :cry: :cry:

We saved a little money by not going but I made a bunch of money by working 2 days of OT and renting the house 3 days. The wife and I went out Sat. night to the Yardhouse and had an incredible time. No Kids, a few cocktails and a nice dinner. $100.00 evening is the perfect remedy to 3 kid afternoon. Nick

There is Care down here in San Diego too. My friend works for OCFA also and is working today but I do not know his station number. He is actually the replacement for our dear Phebus here on the boards. Do you work the same schedule as OCFA. That is a different schedule than we work 4/6. Have a good shift. I am at work today but for us today is B shift.
