supposed to talk about boats have you got a boat
no i don't do you
no i don't i i've had one for quite a few years but i've i've not had one the last couple of years
oh really
but it's something i've always enjoyed do you do you like boating yeah
yeah i love them
but uh
my children all have been grown for a couple years and we were using it less and less and less so
we decided to sell it
and
well i heard that's the second happiest day of your life
what's that
the day you sell your boat
oh no now i loved having a boat
no i just heard that that's just a joke i guess
i loved having it no
oh okay
first best day is the day you get and the day you get rid of it but
oh yeah
i'd like to have one i just don't know if i'd have the time to
use it
yeah yeah a guy just you know he needs his weekends free or
yeah
to be able to use it or a day during the week or something but
but no i guess for the cost of them you don't really it's hard to get i don't know i felt like i got my money's worth out of mine i had bought it used and
kept it uh i don't know ten years and got within uh
did
three hundred dollars of what when i sold it of what i'd paid for it and had it all those years you know
uh-huh
so they hold their you take care of them they hold their value real well
really
so you know you couldn't complain about that
did you go fishing
no no it was a
uh big boat big ski boat type thing
oh okay
i had a hundred hundred sixty horse uh
Mercruiser in it inboard outboard
oh wow
oh i did fish out of it occasionally but i'm not too much of a fisherman
really
and uh but i but i did enjoy owning a boat would recommend it to anybody and uh
yeah i like to fish
uh
but uh and now sailing i've never been sailing have you been sailing
uh yeah i've sailed some i just like uh fourteen foot Sunfish
uh-huh i've never tried i've always thought i bet that would be more fun but i'd want to be with a skilled sailor but it it
nothing big
yeah really
well they offer classes out at uh Ray Hubbard
yeah well i i've always thought i'd like to i've never wanted to bad enough to make any effort to do it you know
yeah
and at this stage of the game i'm not that interested in it anymore
oh okay
we go out with friends on the
we go to the lake just about every weekend down at Mount Vernon and uh
my parents' next door neighbors have a big barge and we go out and take them out on their barge they're getting kind of old and they like us to take them out on their barge quite often so we we get out on the water occasionally you know
okay
oh that's nice
yeah
but uh
uh anyway it's
it's fun i i do enjoy the lake but
uh once the children were grown and we'd go down there and i'd get the boat out on the
you know Saturday and we'd go for a ride and enjoy it so much it's such a pretty lake down there we'd enjoy it so much and
i'd say well i'm gonna leave the boat out because uh we'll probably do this again tomorrow
it got to where the tomorrow the boat was still sitting there and we never did go out again and i'd have to go load it up the next day and
where is that
uh Mount Vernon Cypress Springs Cypress Creek Creek Springs
