Billbob - THANKS for the kind words re: my kids. I appreciate it. Always tell them I have ONE job in life, and its to make sure they turn out okey-dokey.

Ferdi - I have to agree with you about the couples at the boat ramp. I've commented more than once that the public boat ramp on a holiday weekend would be a great place for an enterprising divorce attorney to set up shop.
My Mrs tried her hand at backing up trailers a couple of times years ago - gave her some direction, told her to go slow, and let her have at it. Took me awhile to save up enough money to fix the trailer lights and frame, and the truck bumper. :D Since then, we decided she likes me to handle the truck, and instead she does a darn fine job of taking the boat off and driving it on, except when its windy or we're fishing a river current.
