boat ramp / couch funness

The Good Old Days
I hate to break up this family love but back to the fun.

We have a nice riding area right by the road that leads to the only boat ramp for miles.
Couchers see us there and think that it's a cool spot with no waiting in the boat ramp line.
Not asking us, the locals if this is a good place for them they just go ahead and dunk in their lazy boys.
Sounds innocent enough thus far, right ?

Well, here's the kicker. At low tide the entire cove becomes an ankle deep weed infested swamp that we can skim right over but not them on their barges.
Oh what fun it is to ride around them in circles as 5 or more couches get dragged the 100 feet to shore by their fat owners. Them boys look extra red by the time they get to their trailers (all day drinking beers and tanning on their couches), it is at that point that they realise that it's too shallow to drive the trailer in and they must lift the barges on by hand.

If they only had an ounce of a brain and asked the locals :banghead:

HEAVY WATER
I agree!!! With that helmet on the couch and "heavy water" under his name you would think he was about to go tow-in at Mavrick's. Then I realized he was on Lake Travis in Texas. I hear that's one of the toughest lakes in all of Tx. :sneaky:


wheres mavericks? i wanna go!! the helmet is just for the helmet cam really... i hit my face and body on the ski more than my head...:banghead:

travis is tough, it may be a lake, but people die cuz its to rough out here sometimes....:sad2:
 
Yesterday at the ramp a guy was launching his two couches, I guess he forgot to put the drain plugs in or something.... so after backing down to the water and un hooking them, he decided to pull up the ramp..... suddenly BAM! Look over, and there is one of his boats with a chick on it ready to go.... it slipped off the trailer on to dry concrete boat ramp..... the hole family about 7 or 8 people just picked it up and put it in the water.... and went for a ride.... didnt even check the damage :banghead: I couldnt stop laughing, where is a camera when you need it.

The guy was just like.... man, I never though that would have happened. duhduhdo

Usually I read stories like that and just laugh, but that one makes me want to drive out and watch.
