Building a manual brake lockout switch

[NautiGirl]

I think all kids are different with their parents compared to others... They like to push their parents buttons. I watched two kids for 5 years while in school... They would be normal all day, as soon as mom or dad walked in they flipped a switch. My nieces and nephews are the same way!

And yes my sound clip of the boat starting is my alarm clock tone... Really gets my morning started right! Lol

Ahh now we're getting into sensitive territory

Mom gives lots of hugs when she gets bumps and bruises, I tell her good job, that means she's playing hard. Mom expends a lot of energy negotiating and trying to explain why certain things have to be a certain way, I explain it once and when she argues back I refer her to our previous conversation. Mom takes it personally when my daughter says mean things like "I don't love you anymore", I just say well that's too bad, I still love you though. You know, typical guy and girl reactions to stuff. I'm happy she gets both, hopefully that will help balance things out

Let's get to the brakes. Aw who needs them.

First clip in that compilation, why is the boat still attached to the trailer? In who's world does that make things easier?

Most of the parts will be here tomorrow, I'll start putting stuff together and take some pics.

I find this to be the best way to launch a boat.

Thunder I taught my daughter to take care of herself too. She can be as dainty and girly with high heels and hair-do's as any father would want her to be. Then she put her jeans and cap on, and she'll out-shoot and out-wrestle about any boy out there, and make ole Pop proud!

This was Thanksgiving weekend at our family "shoot-out". My nephew served two tours in Iraq as an MP, and 5 years as a deputy sheriff. He's a pretty good shot, but she outshot him! It was awesome.

I got to walk her down the isle a couple of weeks ago and she absolutely looked like an Angel when we did the "first look". Yeah, I cried a little..

Relish every moment with her! They grow up sooo I'll fast.

Because she's growing every day, who she is today is someone totally different than who she'll be tomorrow. Just compare pictures of you and pictures of her from 2 years ago...

Right.
I have no idea how they did it. But I'm sure it would have been entertaining to watch.
