Yesterday was a good day. The 280 mile trip up here went as planned. Pulled out of Lake Fayette Park at 10:30am pointed north. After mile after mile of hilly narrow back roads, I arrived at Tawakoni State Park at 5pm. It was a beautiful drive if ya like look'n at fences and trees. Never see so many white fences in my life.
When I arrived the temp was sit'n right on 108 to 109 degs....boy howdy I mean to tell ya....that's hot. Drove around the park bout three times look'n for a "great" campsite before I picked out a "mediocre". If'n ya look real close, ya can see the lake through them trees over there. I picked this "mediocre" site 'cause it's close to the boat ramp and swim'n an picnic'n area.
After I brung that "bubba boat" air tube in "da house" to attempt to locate the leak.....what I didn't, I took it down to the boat ramp and sunk it. Still no leak....what the hell??? Now my thoughts are to fill that sucker with water and see where the water come out. If'n air leaks out, wouldn't water leak out??? What ya think????
OK....time to go see the nice lady at the headquarters office....or what ever they call it, pay my dues for a week. Sip me up a cup and wait for the cooler weather to get here.....come on cold front. A big Texas norther...yeah!!!
The following photos is for Gypsy and Trouble............
Got my yard raked, awning out, a couple chairs out and been work really hard on that air tube.
It's been a good morning.
107 degs at 2:10pm.
It seems to me that if you fill the boat with water to find the leak, you will never be able to get ALL the water out. I've never tried it myself, but I've heard if you spread real soapy water where you think there might be a leak, the soap will bubble up.
ReplyDeleteWhat trees? Only way i ever saw to find a leak in tires, was what gypsy said. Get u a pan of soapy water, then get to it. lol. You'd have a clean table, anyway,...Or boat dock.
ReplyDeleteWhat norther?
Well you could just take it out to the water and take that old shotgun out there and shoot it, there will be no way you can't find that leak then LOL
ReplyDeleteWimmins don't no nuttin bout find'n no leak in a boat. This tube thingy what gots a leak ain't nuttin like a regular ol' car tire tube. It's 10 feets long and a foots round....like one them balloons clowns make funny animals out of.....only way bigger.
ReplyDeleteMaybe later I'll post a pic of it so these wimmins will know what I'm talk'n bout. Sheesh....wimmins!!!
LOL Gypsy....I just read your comment again. I didn't fill the BOAT with water. I filled the air tube with water after I took it out the boat.
ReplyDeleteLike you said Billy Bob, wimmins don't know nuthin bout boats and mechanical thingies. I thought you were going to inflate it with water instead of air.
ReplyDeleteI'm still shakin my head and wondrin about this bubba boat. Ever since I nearly drowned in a canoe accident back in the 1970's I stay away from boats and water. Don't even go swimmin anymore. Thanks for the pictures.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could carry a little electric air pump that would run off your battery and keep pushing air into it until you get to shore.
