You have also given permission to the lake gremlins to take anything that is not tied down, as you race about the lake in your euphoric state. Therefore I implore you to tie a strap on your children (and dogs) so they don't fly overboard and are not missed until you are 5 miles down the lake.
Take pictures of that favorite rod and reel combo so after it gets pulled, yanked, dropped, or blown overboard, you'll have a photo to look back on with fond memories.
Be especially happy that gas is sub $2.00 a gallon as you will probably only get two miles.per gallon at WOT (wide open throttle).
When gas goes back to $3.00+ you'll want to go no further than seeing distance from the dock so the three gallons of gas will get you back to the ramp.
HAPPY BOATING!

Did I ever mention that I used to own a couple of Harley's ? Yea... the second one was a Ultra Classic Electraglide. My first expense was driving from TN to Miami Fla (that was in Feb) by then I had to replace a lot of the chrome because of the salty air and the tires... By July I decided to ride cross country to Sturgis.. Oh the memories. And I believe gas was somewhere around $3 a gal.. I mean I remember paying $20+ just to fill up the tank. So Yea I know about throwing money out the window.. btw I have Harley accessories for sale
My euphoric state... I plead guilty.
You see I sold my bike in 2012 to help finance my shop. So you can say I have been without the wind in my hair for a while. I couldn't help myself yesterday, the
euphoric state I was in
, scooting cross the lake with the wind in my hair on my trusty water craft... the thrill of speeding inches off the water
, with the smooth hum of that 4 cyl 4 stroke Merc singing in my ears.... compound the high with this being my first "real" boat... So you see I just couldn't help myself
.
What are the odds of me finding that preserver you think ?
Does the lady of the lake ever give up the accidental sacrifices ?
