Duck Hunting Season comes to a close in a BIG way

Being that today is a Saturday and it is duck hunting season, Scott was out of bed around 4:00 this morning and headed about about 70 miles to Morganton to duck hunt with his friends. This morning started like any other Saturday. I heard him get up, crank the car, pull his boat out of the garage and finally pull out of the driveway. He usually is done hunting and back home by 1:00 that afternoon.

But this morning while the kids and I were eating breakfast and getting ready to go to the Y, I heard the garage door opening downstairs around 9:00. I looked outside to find the car and boat trailer in the driveway. Hmm, funny.

Wait a second, did I just say boat trailer? Where's the boat that should be on that boat trailer, you might ask? How about scattered on 1-40 between Exit 125 and 126?

Apparently, Scott did not have the boat secured down on the trailer and the boat slid off the trailer onto the interstate. By the time he was able to turn around and get back to where the boat was, a brand new F-150 found it first. Luckily and miraculously, no one was hurt. It could have been alot worse for sure. Scott says that he keeps seeing the image of the boat sliding on the highway. Poor thing. The guy lost his best friend today!

Like a good wife, I didn't have to call him an idiot or ask him what the heck he was thinking? He is doing enough of that himself. :)

Luckily, Scott has insurance on the boat. We are still waiting to hear about some kind of loophole that the insurance company will find. Hopefully all will work out. I will keep you posted!
