Weekend Report :

[Muskieman]

Not many fish to report .. few Walleye and a couple Smallmouth...not even pic worthy.

 

My bow mount Minn Kota caught fire at the circuit board, My boat sprung a big leak ,15 or so gallons worth in 5 hours [fixed].... My motor didn't start while on the lake and I broke the pull cord trying and crushed my pinky finger. ...I got a tow to shore from a buddy..come to find out that my fuel line had a air leak near the primer bulb.

 

I drove a stinger hook into my finger last night.

 

All problems are now fixed and the trolling motor is in the trash.

 

I'll be redeeming myself come the long weekend.

 

New to us camper goodbye tents!! ... After owning it for 10 minutes I backed it square into my house.. <----- literally.

I caused a dent to the rear bumper of my trailer and cracked the parging on my foundation.

I slept in it on Saturday night and bashed my head on a cabinet while waking up on Sunday morning.

 

Here she is...2000 Mallard 29.5 ft ... our new to us "Home away from Home"... We're gonna be Gypsies 21 days at a time. Never to be seen at a campground attached to a screened in porch.

 

 

Summer just got better...

Dude sorry but that's just hilarious!!

 

 

(Nice camper though!)

Nice set up Randy. Too bad you can't tow your boat behind it. My brother bought a 5th wheel outfit and tows his boat behind it. Kinda looks hilarious but it gets the job done.

 

Sounds like to me you might better install those pool noodles around anything you may bump your head into for a while! ha ha ha (sorry, I know you didn't think it was funny.)

 

The bad luck streak is good in a sense, it can't get any worse and you should have a trouble free summer now.

 

Cheers, Ron...

Nice cottage on wheels! Look forward to one day owning one.

 

Is that an antenna on the top of it?

[Muskieman]

:clapping:

 

#1 Yes I can tow my boat behind it, I asked the OPP and the MTO .. I can legally have a total length of up to 74' if my first trailer is tandem, has brakes and the plates on my truck are "Black #" with commercial insurance and if I were to exceed my GVRW I need a CVOR sticker, log book and an annual safety + I need really big mirrors to see the whole train, completely legal hitch to hitch so long as you follow the rules.

I have it all photocopied and stuffed in an envelope for my own insurance.

but I won't attempt it.

 

#2 I agree that it's hillarious

 

 

#3 I just got back from Canadian Tire with 16 Pool Noodles.

 

#4 Antenna on top rocks .. I get quite a bit of Channels ... CTV..CBC...TVO...TFO...Global...and CH Hamilton...all with good clarity. I actually watched Italo catching some Walleye shortly after bashing my head at 5:15 Sunday morning.

Yep nice camper. It sounds like you had a hell of a 15mins.

[DRIFTER_016]

Randy, this post is too funny!!!

 

I do have to say I have camper envy as I also bought me a new to me camper this year and am looking forward to living in it in Alaska for a month this year. It's going to be nice to get off the ground and have a lot more room.

 

Here is my JR Training camper.

 

 

 

 

FYI

I haven't backed it into anything yet but it's still early.

[Gerritt]

Randy, Nice Looking setup!!!!! Soooooo.... can you pitch a tent on that site?

 

Sorry to hear about you're mishaps! but just like moving into a new house and trying to find the bathroom in the middle of the night.... you just get used to it!

Nice! I stayed at a few place during school that weren't as nice as that.

[fishnsled]

Nice looking trailer. Too bad about the mishaps but as with others, I had a good laugh. Thanks for sharing.

[Sinker]

P.S......watch your head.......all the rest can be fixed!!

good thing you do not put the awning out with your luck it would have blown over the trailer im a pro at it mine lasted 10 minutes blew right off the rv nice trailer

[Nipfisher]

I replied to your PM before reading the comedy you posted. Now I see why you had a terrible weekend.

 

Nice trailer. Ours is on a site in a paid park and will soon have a screened in room attached to it. No crown land camping for me. Oh well, my wife is happy and that allows me to get away with more. Hee hee. I now own 3 boats 3 motors and didn't even fish this weekend. We'll have to get out on the river some time.

[solopaddler]

Just had to say, reading this I'm picturing either Bill Dance in one of his blooper tapes or a bad Chevy Chase movie.

 

[Tarzan's Jane]

too funny....perhaps you should lay low for a bit. haha

 

Very nice trailer....

[MCTFisher9120]

Haha, bad luck much eh

 

Here is a pic of our camper, thats the inside of our mess

 

And the outside of the mess

 

Trailers are a great way to spend quality time with family, have had many early mornings our of mine where i would walk to the water, fish off shore then come crawl back to bed around 7am after 2 hours of topwater fishing...best part is the wet grass.

 

But anyway, thanks for sharing. Betterluck next time!

Nice Rig Randy!! Funny story too..
