BOAT – Break Out Another Thousand…

I got up and headed over to Moscow to get my boat. I called Kristine several times because she was going to come out and help me get the boat. But I could not get here. So I got the boat myself. Then I fueled it up. I talked to Loren on the phone as well as Nik. Then I went to Pullman and washed the boat. I picked up Loren and finally got a hold of Kristine. She was going to meet me down there with her new boyfriend and another friend of hers. Nik was going to meet me down there with his friend as well.

Loren and I went to Safeway and got lunch then headed down. I tired to start the boat, but it would not start up. It just kept turning over with nothing else. The battery did not last long before going dead.

I pulled the boat out of the water and we went down to Lewiston to look for a place to get a new battery. Nothing was open hardly. Finally we found a place and got a battery. I replaced it and we went back to the boat launch. I got the boat in the water but it would not start still. Kristine, Camron, and her friend got there. People were waiting to come in and I was blocking the way. I could not go to the other side of the dock because another boat was there. I tried to start it more. Then Kristine and Camron got into the water and swam my boat over to these other docks.

We tied it up and broke out the beer. We sat around talking and drinking some beer for a while. This other small boat came over and the people were older. We talked with them for a while and we told them about my boat. I went to show the guy what it was doing, and it tried to turn over once. I got happy and tried some more. I flooded it out. So I let it sit for a while. I got it started on my next set of tries. I yelled in excitement at the top of my lungs. We let it idle for a while and then took it out. The other said they would watch for us incase it died. We went out and cruised down to the damn and then to Granite point and then back and forth a few times. After a while Camron wanted to water ski, but the boat started to flood out and I could not get it to go at all. So I got Camron in the boat and it went okay from there. I decided to just do cruising. A few times we stopped so people could go in the water and do some swimming. I took some pictures of everyone swimming and having fun.

I could not see Nik at Granite Point where we were looking for him. We played on the water for a few hours then came in. Everyone helped get the boat ready to go. Loren and I went to his place. He cooked a steak for him and I. Then we went to see Madagascar. When it was over I took him to his place and headed home. I stayed up for a few more hours. I had a small pizza and watched some TV before going to bed.
