Too Early to Think of A Clever Name

I swear the strangest shit happens to me. Yesterday afternoon, I have plans to go to Lake Austin with several people. Well these folks had to wait a while because the boat dealership left my battery switch on, draining my batteries. Two new batteries later and thirty minutes late we all met up at Hula Hut.

So we wakeboarded for a couple of hours only to run out of gas (due to a faulty gas gauge). We wave a boat down and I be damned if a drunk Dennis Quaid is not standing on the boat. You would think as much as he makes a picture he would have had a nicer boat. Well, about that time the police pull up, and assuming the police would help, Dennis and his friends leave. The cop quickly says "I cant tow yall". Yeah buddy, go harass some people for going to fast in a no wake zone or something. Dont actually help anyone, just piss them off. So I spot two red gas cans on a boat dock. I start swimming over to the shore only to be met by a big black dog barking. He looked a little angry so I decided to check the next dock. I had a twenty dollar bill in my mouth that I was going to leave under the can as payment. Well about this time an old man comes out, sells us a five gallon gas can for a twenty dollar bill that had been in my mouth for a few minutes while I swam to shore (he didnt seem to mind as I offered to get him a clean one). So do we do like smart people and head to the nearest gas station. Hell no, Hadi grabbed another set on the way back and we drank another beer or two (Ashley just skipped the beer and had a whole bottle of wine). We had a nice dinner at the Hula Hut and finally got off the water around ten.
