Week 7

    Monday  well I found what I needed to make it official to stay a BOAT. I made sure that everything was neat and tiddy dinner ready to cook Steak and Potatoes when she got home. You got it I had to butter it up. I wanted to go look at the boat. We went to go look at it she was not impressed I knew it was a fixer upper but hey I got time. It had a great motor almost new the boat floor needed repair. I didn't care about that I have fixed worst with all the aluminium boats I had fixed and tried to make into something they were not ever going to be. She said is the trailer suppose to look like that with the block between the axle and frame. I told yea it will be ok. So I made the deal and told him I would pick it up Thursday I had to clean a place to park it.
  Tuesday I was checking the message board just to see what was on that's where I found the boat. I found a treadmill free come pick up. I told them I would be there in 5 min. I met 2 guys they were fur trappers and that's what they do for a living. They were great guys when they see the licence plate from Louisiana they told me that they went and helped for Katrinia. This is the 5th guys that I have met that went down to help Louisiana the guy I bought the boat went down and helped too. I told what happen did the whole island go to Louisiana and work. He said pretty much they worked through the winter and came back April it was getting a little warm for them. They canned meat I told them that they had to teach me how to do that. One gave me their card and said call me anytime we will teach you. They gave me some beaver meat canned that was some good stuff. I told you that I would eat anything at least once. They told me they were the same way at least try it once. They were looking for someone to sew their furs I told them that Carol sewed that I would try and talk her into it. I might be pushing my luck a little. I can just imagine how that conversation will go HELL NO I have a job you go get one. I might have to learn to sew on beaver hides. Hey Tom on mountain men dose it. Oh by the way when she came in and saw the treadmill she said this is for me are you trying to tell me something. I said Oh no it is for me I need to get in a little better shape. Whoo I almost lost the buttering job.
  Wednesday I didn't do much today still buttering her up. I did the self paper that she was wanting to do Saturday.  Hey I got to do what I have to the boat comes tomorrow and I still have to make a place for it. So the rest of the day was cleaning.
  Thursday I went to get the boat. I hooked it up ask for the paper work for the boat and trailer. He didn't have the registration for the boat and his wife is still looking for the title for the trailer. He told me that I could get the boat done at all places the DMV. I thought my favorite place but the DMV wildlife and fisheries do the boats in Louisiana. So I hooked up and pulled it down the road. Remember when she said about the trailer well I got about a mile down the road and I heared a loud snap and then it started chirping. I pulled off the road about a mile away this road doesn't have but 2 places to pull off. One side is solid rock cliff and the other side is straight down. It had a pull off I checked it. The spring had broke and it was just hanging. I just figured 15 mph 5 more miles I can make it I didn't have anybody to call. I just puckered up the old butt hole and drove. I did make it the place I had to put it was tight but it fit. I went to the wildlife and fisheries first they told me the DVM registers boats I guess he was right Louisiana Wildlife works with all boats no trailers. I went to the DMV to see what I needed the lady was laughing when I came into the door I said yes I am back. I told her that I bought a boat and needed it registered. Now this was easy she said take this form fill it out and I can get it done for you. They didn't need old registration didn't need a bill of sale just the boat info and the name of the previous owner. Man in Louisiana you almost need to put up your first born to get a used boat registered. If it didn't come from a dealer it was a pain I had been through that twice. I guess that here everything is so remote they don't care.
   Friday it was family day I called and talked to some of the sisters and Joey my brother sent a group text with a picture of a plate with lima beans and corn chips. That was my daddy's favorite supper just made me hungry that looks like Saturday's supper I can just taste it now. KIelley said yuck but she was the youngest and didn't get as much limas as we did. Daddy thought he was going to starve if he didn't get them once a week. I told them I would have some can beaver meat when they got here this summer. It really didn't go over real well in the group text some said that they were packing food when they came to visit. I made homemade cinnamon rolls and sent a picture. The sisters said that is what i am talking about. Hey still buttering up I got a few things I need for the boat. It is the old saying if mama ain't happy nobody is happy. It just me and her so I got to kept mama happy. I can't blame it on the kids anymore.
  Saturday I got back on the message board again she is going to kill me if I don't get off this thing. I found a garage sale and had to go it had fishing stuff listed first on the list. I had to go check that out Hay it is just in my nature. I made the excuse I had to get the name of the owner to get the boat registered. She is doing school work and I could hear them filmier huffs so I though I might need to make myself scarce. I found a net they use up here they are huge. I found a smaller net, ice chest and 2 rods and reels. The ice chest was the best buy 2 nets and chest for 15 dollars. The ice chest up here are gold. I bought the cheap breeze ice chest from walmart for 17 dollars they are 39 bucks here. I got all for 45 not bad in my book but hers might be not so much. I cooked the lima beans and corn chips she didn't think it was going to be that good 2 bowls for her and 3 bowls for me we were stuffed.
  Sunday was just a lazy day. I got up and football I am still trying to get used to it 9 am is kickoff for the Saints. We are 3 hrs ahead or behind it is acording witch way you look at it. I can watch til half time then go get ready for church. I have to tape the 2and half. It is better when you come in and see that they won. You don't have to worry about the bone head plays they make because you know they won. After watching the game we just chilled I really couldn't go to far 3 bowls of beans is just about like eating fried fish.
