You Know You're a Redneck When...

Take a gander at the photo to the left. A lot of people look at it for the first time and say, "Ok... it's you in a boat. So what?"

Well, if you look a little closer, you'll notice it's me sitting in a boat that is on a trailer that is on another trailer.

Yes, it looks mighty "redneck," eh?

This is another photo from our camping trip. After about 3 hours of driving, we pulled into the campground on Friday and discovered the wheel bearings were shot.

Ok, I say "we" when I really mean David. As he made a turn, he could see the tires wobbling. Upon further review, he determined that the trailer wouldn't make the return trip to Dallas unless he replaced the bearings.

Well, instead of fixing it along the side of the road (or in a Wal-Mart parking lot), David came up with the idea of using the trailer to haul his boat/trailer.

I gotta say... I wasn't really seeing it when he started measuring on Saturday. But Sunday morning, with a lot of muscle, the three of us made this happen.

And if you notice, we pulled the boat backwards on the trailer. David and I got PLENTY of interesting looks on our drive back. Jason followed us and acted as a "shield."

We even passed several cops on the way home. Maybe because we were driving about 10 miles under the speed limit, or we just looked a little too "odd" to pull over, but they left us alone.

Anyway, if you're ever in a situation like this, just hope you've got 2 friends like David and Jason - they'll figure out a solution to any problem!
