Dismount technique
Posted: Tue May 18, 2010 8:04 pm
I apoligise for no piccie,but I was by myself.
I took my Laker for a short otur of a local farm pond last nite and had a blast. I caught several bluegills, and crappies, all too small to mess with, but fun. When I was thru, I came back to the grassy shore, and proceeded to land. There, I made two important discoveries!! One, mid May is too cold to swim in a farm pond in S. Iowa--Especially after about 6" of fresh rain! Two, I need to work on my dismount tecnique--I raised self off the seat, felt a slight tilt, and was wet before I knew what happened! I stood knee deep, rescued my cell phone for the plier pocket(at least thats what it used to be) and laughed my a$$ off--and I had no witnesses! I believe I will remember not to do that again, but it is still funny to me. I think there are two kinds of us-those who have fallen out of a boat, and those thath will. Sometimes again. Life is short--enjoy the screw-ups too.
