Ramp blockers or why are you parked there?

[mhall]

Perfect........lol

You said the P-word..."Public"...far too many of them are moronic inconsiderate self-serving assholes.

Back over them once with the trailer and they'll learn.

That's why I'd like to drive an old C-series Blazer with a pipe bumper on the front, but I'd probably lose my insurance in a week...lol

Oh goodness! You made me remember my husband and I unloading our boat at a ramp where a man was walking around, in the way, yapping at everyone who came in. "Gonna catch a biggun? You from around here? How long you going to stay? Got a good lookin' boat, is it new?....and on and on." My husband drove the boat off the trailer and was moving it to a loading area while I drove the truck up the ramp to a parking space. The ramp was steep and I gunned the truck. The man stepped in front of the trailer and leaned on it to talk just as I gunned it. I heard a scream but didn't see anyone until I got to the top of the ramp and saw that his shirt had gotten caught on the trailer and I had dragged him about 75 ft. up the ramp. The man was lying on the ramp with his t-shirt torn off, the skin peeled off his knees, arms and ribs, and in a mess of pain. I was so blazing mad I didn't offer an apology and just walked over to our boat, boarded and went fishing. We never saw him hanging out around that place again.

I'm calling ********...............I used to have to eat a chunk of Ivory soap for whoppers like that.

I suspect if you drug a guy 75 ft up a ramp, ripped his shirt off, tore some skin, etc, etc. the're BE an AMBULANCE there too.....

And if you had drug me up a ramp like that, and no offered an apology, you would have came back to a **** HOLE of a truck. I would have cut the tires, broke the windows, poured coke in the tank, and drilled holes in your battery.

Yea..........Good story though.

Bug has lead a very colorful life,according to her stories. She's pulled her weapon on several occasions, maybe even shot someone a time or two. She's been attacked by bears and coyotes and some other tales I can't recall right now.

We're all fisher-people and we lie. Well, maytbe just exaggerate excessively.

Except me and you and I'm not too darn sure about you!!!

It was posted on the Internet so it must be true. Bonjour!

I was thinking about fishing at night by the launch ramp and setting up some propane lanterns. I've done this once or twice around midmight but not very often. I never thought about the light having an affect on a boat coming back to the ramp at night.

I normally will dim my headlights when driving around by the launch ramp to avoid shining a bright light into people's eyes while they are launching or recovering a boat after sunset.

I know that some types of lanterns have shields that help focus the light in one direction. Those type of lights might be turned so as not to focus out into the boaters eyes. Good point and glad you brought this subject up for discussion.

Perfect........lol

I should take a shovel with me to the boat ramp on Weekends. LOL

Don't have to dream up a fishin' tale. This was the truth and the manager of the boat ramp saw what happened. He had gotten numerous complaints about that jerk using the boat ramp to entertain himself. No need to call an ambulance for a torn shirt and a few abrasions.

Oh, and your imagination sure ran wild when you were shooting off about what you would do to my truck, or you are a complete idiot. Security cameras see everything and my insurance company would have torn a hole in your bank account.

Liar! I have never shot anyone but I admit to pulling my handgun on a couple of guys who came looking for trouble. I have never said that I had been attacked by bears and coyotes. I see coyotes mostly every night but they are not after me, they are running deer. I don't consider myself living a 'colorful' life just because I take care of me. I have been living alone for a few years and I'll be hanged if I'm going to piss and run everytime some small problem comes up. My husband works out of state and I CAN hold down the fort until he comes home later this year.

I still call BULL.....you drag someone, anyone under a trailer for 75 ft, they are not going to have a few abrasions. They will have SERIOUS, very SERIOUS injuries.

Yep complete IDIOT here......I still think you are completely full of crap.
