My Weekend

My weekend was an amazing, i went home Friday right after school, asked my dad to wash the car for gas money for the boat, so i washed the car as fast as i possibly could, it only took me forty minutes for me to do by myself and then i went to launch the boat at the airport launching ramp, but as we got there i noticed it was pretty rough, so burned through gas pretty quickly because i trimmed up the engine which burns more gas quicker, so i got to duck pond and i noticed i only had  3/4 of a talk left and we wanted to go to rum point Sunday. so we headed to rum point and i only has 1/4 of a tank left but we made it there and back but now when i got home i flushed the engine while running it and it ran maybe 45 seconds to a minute and i ran out of gas and the engine shut out.

the lesson we learned was that it is always a good thing to take extra gas, no matter what the situation is, weather its your headed out fishing check your gas level, or wake boarding check the gas level, if you don't know how much gas you have in the boat when you launch it, go to the gas station or barcadere, or harbor house and fill up your tank, it never hurts to put extra gas on top of the gas you already have, i never want anyone to feel the way i felt headed to duck pond, i was afraid we would not make it, i had a very sick feeling in my stomach that i would not make it and we would have to paddle our way beck to the launching ramp at duck pond, and that was not going to happen because it was almost 4:30 pm and the deadline i had to be there was at 4;30 pm and i made it to the launching ramp at 4;26 pm and i didn't get in trouble this time i escaped trouble this time.

 

My Wonderful Weekend

My wonderful weekend consisted of helping a friend wash a 40+ foot boat. When a friend asks yo for help you realize they act ad treat you like family, you know you have to help them weather you like it or not.

so i went to Keenan's house this weekend when our friend called me and said, " yo Andrew can you guys help me clean my boat today ?" i had to say yes, well i didn't have to i wanted to say yes because he is like family to us. The people who were helping were me, Keenan, Reds, and Kyle.

i have never seen Kyle work so hard before in my life, when our friend Dylan would say we were done for the day we would look up and see Kyle up there working harder than ever. i believe that the only reason Kyle was working so hard is because he was getting sick and loosing his voice, so when he realized it was hard for him to talk he couldn't tell any stories the whole day, we all were super happy he couldn't tell any stories, mainly because once he starts telling stories he can't stop.

so when Dylan told us he would be there with the boat at 9, well he wasn't exactly there with the boat at 9, he came and got Keenan at 9:15 am, and took Keenan to help him go get the boat cause it takes 2 people to get the job done, Once the boat got to where we were supposed to do the work, we all kind of sat around for a while and asked each other where do we start first? Well i will tell you we washed down the boat with the hose first then we scrubbed the boat with H-7, and then we washed it with water to wash it down. the next day Dylan wanted to buff it and well he is still doing that, today and tomorrow.
