Lesson's learned

[AJM]

Glad things worked out, and now you can look back on it, learn from it and remeber the positives out of the trip.

Was at Cave Run fishing for Muskie one day with a buddy, We drove in the morning before the sun was up to get there. Just about the time we were launching the boat the sun starts coming up. With the sun up you couldn't tell that the lighs to the truck were still on, and his truck had no warning horn. His truck also has the touch pad entry, to where he would normally leave his keys in the truck and use the pad for entry.

After a very long, tiring, extremely unproductive day on the lake, we realized we had left the lights on and drained the battery dead. We were the only ones left at a somewhat secluded ramp at about 10pm on a Sunday, with very sketchy cell phone reception.

It took the AAA tow truck guy almost an hour to get there, took him 5 minutes to get the doors open and get us going. He was a man of very few words, but he was definitly a life saver and much appreciated.

File that under lessons learned; I always double check mine or my partners lights now.

The lesson you forgot to mention, is that man is still your friend, cherish him, they are hard to come by.Only a true friend can forgive an.

Oh yeah found a great ramp once on lake muskegon, got there a couple of hours before sunrise, reclined the seat, and took a snooze, my buddy came back a few minutes later and told me, the ramp is almost in an old cemetary.He was seeing a man about a dawg, and had a flash light.
