Well you guys probably think I have it made traveling around on yachts, fishing, diving, and treasure hunting. Well heres a behind the scenes story to give you an idea about some of the not so fun work. There is one thing everyone who owns a boat dreads......a sewage system failure !! View attachment 1711729 the only way to even see the pump for the sewage tank was to take a pic because it's dark back in the bowels of the boat. This sewage waste pump had to be replaced and it was almost impossible to get to. I was forced to lay on my side and squeeze my shoulders through a small hatch and lay on top of pipes and wires that were bruising my ribs. I new there would be some fecas and piss involved in the removal of the pumps hoses, but I didn't realize the system was under pressure !! Now keep in mind there are 2 engine mechanics also working in the bilge. As soon as I undid the hose clamps the hose blew off with a big blast of raw sewage !! I tried to escape but was stuck in the small opening of the hatch. Resting on my elbows the first gag reflex came and I knew I was gonna barf. As I started to throw up I could here the mechanics starting to gag, cough, and cuss. About that time all the carbon monoxide and co2 alarms started to scream. By the time I got myself out of that hole I had thrown up all over my arms and was dripping vomit, s..t, and sewage off my elbows. One mechanic threw up in the bilge and the other just made it out of the boat before he vomited. I came bursting out of the boat and jumped straight into the canal fully clothed like a man on fire. Jumped straight in with wallet, phone, and keys. It was not pleasant and took 2 days of bleaching to clean it up. The boat had to be aired out for 3 days, and I had to squeeze back in the hole and wire plumb and mount the new pump. It was a week long effort to get this one pump done and I'm bruised and beaten from the struggle. That's just to let you guys know that it ain't all tropical paradise, clear waters and sunsets. Nooooooo not the crapper pump !! The most dreaded job in yachting. I hope none of you ever have to go through that hell.

Right at the blast part I started to gag from here.... humph. err.. e-gads man.

I laughed my ass off as soon as the rest of your well written story continued...

Sheeshus.

lol

Um... you forgot something though... did you go get some shots yet ? lol :P

I just read this story to an entire packed Starbucks having open mic night. :P

I would have projectile spewed all the way out into the water as well.

My god. heh

Bad, bad man, and bad wizard.

You never have a cool pet frog before ?

Pet frogs are cool... they eat bugs... and are helluva good stare contest masters...

You can hold em... and pet em... love em... and name them George.

[ARC]

Oh BTW ECS... "George" is ALSO the "pet name" I have given you.

No, but I have had pet iguanas that were fond of spaghetti and angel food cake, and if they encounter someone they didn't like, would give them a welt raising tail whip.

Oh BTW AARC...I can't post on here the "pet name" I have given you.
...but Reg will suffice.

Scarecrow - Now that I have a brain I realize that AARC took me for a bundle with his 3 card monty game in Ybor City!
AND that's not hay!

 

[ARC]

Reeeee ummmm... I GOT IT...

Regurgitation ! ! ! that's it.... I knew it all along.

 

[ARC]

Hey ECS... I have always found one thing to be strange... (hmmm ok more than one, but one thing in particular and one on the forefront of thought currently)

In all these years you have never asked me.

Tinman: AARC sold me a discount for a Jiffy Lube, but when I got there on Busch Blvd, they never heard of him!
Then I got caught in a Florida thunder storm from off the Gulf and froze in my tracks.
As Neil Young said, rust never sleeps!

 

[ARC]

Ahh well...

And speaking of well...

All is well that ends well.

And as far as well's go.... This well of conversation has dried up... time to dig anew again.

Until again.

I will see you when I am looking at you.

G night.

Cowardly Lion: You think that's bad, you old rust bucket of bolts, AARC took me to Busch Gardens as a guest and left me there and I'm still doing three shoes a day for the tourists!

Bart,

So I'm looking on Google for a fishing spot that's real close but a decent patch reef. Most of the time the hawk channel is murky, but every now and then Google earth updates and you get some better details. Well all be damnd......they updated and the shots are from a rare clear day in the hawk channel !! I cant remember what this wreck is and I definitely dont remember ever even seeing it. Its smack dab in front of my house. It could be something uncovered after Irma, or it could be something that's well known that I just haven't been too in a long time or never went too. I cant imagine not ever seeing this thing, especially right in front of my house. It might be covered in murky water of the hawk channel most of the time. Well see....I'm definitely going to check it out.
