dt gets a new boat

My sweetheart got me a boat for my birthday. The problem is that it isn't my birthday....if I tell her she might take it back. Should I take a chance and tell her or should I change my date of birth?

Beautiful Blackman. Mission Bay?

Change your birthday - no brainer!

David K - 4-8-2012 at 06:10 PM

New birthday for David... She must have found that Jesuit gold stash from the lost mission, up Arroyo El Volcan??

I'm not sure what I did to deserve such a great gal who is obviously out of my league.....she must have done something really bad in a past life and is doing her penance now....

It is a good thing--- it means you get to go out with him FREE---that is if he wants you. :biggrin:

Beautiful boat!

I offered to name it after her but she insisted that I name it after myself. The new name is OUTCAST....

motoged - 4-10-2012 at 10:40 AM

David,
Jill has good taste in boats....but is a poor judge of character :lol:

"Outcast"..... boat names are fun

I named a boat after an old girl friend once..."DEB" She was really flattered until she found out it meant "Dirty Evil b-tch".....Things went downhill from there.....

That is hilarious!

Nice boat Dt!!

dtbushpilot - 4-11-2012 at 09:57 AM

Thanks all for the kudos and kind words.
To answer a few questions: Yes DK, she did find my stash of Padre gold, fortunately she only had to use a small part of it to buy the boat. What did you do with your share?
udo, woody etc.: We are always glad to accommodate our Nomad friends and would be happy to take you out on the boat. If you want to actually catch something we should go in on a charter on one of Vista Sea Sport's boats otherwise it might be just a boat ride.
We can always use a few deck hands and galley wenches, Just be aware that Jill is the Captain and she is pretty mean with a whip...and that costs extra.
Yes ged, Jill has exhibited poor judgement at times, a common affliction in our house. Fortunately she doesn't suffer from "low blood alcohol" like I do, we can only afford medication for one of us.
I am almost done wrapping up the paperwork on the boat, its been a frustrating experience but worth it....probably. We will be towing it down in June to it's new home in Buena Vista.
Thanks again all, hope to see you on the water....tight lines.......dt

DT,
That towing trip should be an epic drive. :biggrin:

Watch out for bicyclists....that will be a whole new (repeated) thread.

As for fishing, it appears really to be an excuse for a boat-ride and drinking in the sun with friends anyways.
