    Stay right, pass left. Unless you're driving an emergency vehicle or are the fastest car on the road and passing anyway....

    Why is it that public boat landings seem to bring out the ignorance in people?

    Trying to figure that out myself. It takes me and my buddies about a minute to launch or pull a boat out. It's not a difficult concept at all.

    They have to learn how to back up a trailer somewhere, might as well be at a busy boat ramp with a dozen people watching impatiently.

    I actually opened this thread just to rant about an incident that occurred yesterday at a boat landing to me.. it must be a common thing!

    This past weekend I installed new side marker lights and license plate on my boat trailer. Yesterday I took a vacation day and took the girlfriend and 4 kids out for a day on the lake. When I got back to the trailer someone had backed into mine shattering a couple lights and completely bent up my plate. Not to mention earlier in the day we went to a beach at the lake and had 2 towels and a pair of sunglasses stolen.

    Flight cancellation out of LGA. $200 cab ride to EWR so I can catch a different flight and sleep in my own bed tonight. Sucks.

    Because anyone can buy a boat and trailer and NOT have to learn how to pull it or back it up to purchase said boat and trailer.

    People that don't use turn signals and try to merge into freeway traffic at 40mph when traffic is 65mph. Makes me want to run them all over!

    Todays rant dumbassed viking fans. Last night I was at the local country club enjoying a surprise birthday party for my wife. As usual I had on a Packer hat, being a social event I wore my "good" Packer hat, good meaning it isn't stained yet kinda like sunday best. Anyway I go up to the bar to get a beer and some rube viking fan pops off about my hat, I have mellowed over the years and simply acknowledged his comments and went with my standard if I were a viking fan I would hate me too reply. Every time I went back to the bar he would make a comment, I tried I really did I showed restraint and tried to brush him off. Well after the 4th silo of beer I figured I had to fire a few shots off to let him know I was not going to let him continue on with his flawed thought process. Pretty funny it didn't take long to get him whipped into a frenzy to the point he wanted to kick my ***, the clown brought it on himself.

    It's not hard to tick off Viking fans. A lot of pent up anger and disappointment. I've never taken them seriously and won't until they win a super bowl ( or 4).

    Kinda hard when you remember that last super bowl against the Raiders. I still tear up thinking about it. That was a lot of trauma for an 11 year old :(
