MORE Rednecks, spring water and airboats

The fourth of July on the Wacissa (Jefferson County, Florida), hot and muggy but cold clear water to swim in. Then the moron arrives with his airboat....

Puts it in the water and proceeds to run up and down the river like he's had too much Starbucks. Gets a cute girl in a bikini aboard and proceeds to run in ever smaller circles rasin so much noise youda thought it was rainin North Korean missiles. Circles gets too small, water pours over the side and down she goes.....sinks like a stone with the chica floundering in the hydrilla like gator bait. A kayaker tows her ashore. The airboat has sunk to the top of its prop cage and the engine was running at the time So, what would you do if you were a redneck in this situation...obviously, something even more foolish, you try to tow the sunken airboat ashore with ANOTHER airboat. A long rope tied to second airboat stern and to sunken boat, rev her up all the way. Somehow, this makes towing airboat tilt up at the bow so second airboat takes water over the stern. Operator nearly loses it but stops engine in time. Plan B..After more brain juice in a six-pack. Big jacked up Dodge Ram 4wd with huge "Gumbo Monster Mudder" tires and no muffler gets backed to the waters edge, rope wont reach. OK, he thinks his truck can go anywhere so he backs it INTO the water. There is no landing at this spot, its just mud and the truck rapidly settles into it halfway up the tires. This does not look good. He revs her up making more noise than the airboats causing geysers of mud to be thrown so much that you cant see the truck.. Uh-OH. When he stops, water is flowing into the cab. Plan C Another 4WD, this one has a winch on the front and he refuses to get too close to the waters edge (clearly a case of not enough beer). Runs his cable out all the way but it wont reach. This guy must be the braniac of Jefferson County cuz he actually inspects the rope from the sunken airboat and decides its in bad shape. They finally locate a good towing cable to attach to the steel cable on the winch. The airboat slowly comes toward shore and when it comes out it is covered with hydrilla. At this point, we had to leave to have burgers at my parents place so we didnt see how the rescue of the sinking 4WD unfolded but I heard some remarks about a backhoe over at the nearby quarry so i assume there was more entertainment planned.

I don't know, but I might have taken the backhoe over the burgers. You can only eat a burger once, but witnessing that backhoe adventure could keep you laughing for years. ;-) thunder
