I ran out of gas in my boat on friday, which is not that crazy, but it's where exactly I ran out of gas that is pretty hilarious.
So I was driving around the atchaf basin in my boat, trying to scout for 2nd split of duck season. Got stopped by some game wardens who shot the shite with me, and in the process told me directions for a better way to return to the landing (i am new to the area i was in). So they take off & I am now going in same direction, but they get ahead of me & out of sight b/c their boat is way better than mine. 10-15 mins later, and still about 2 miles from the launch, I see them up ahead idling in the bayou. They are talking or something and wave for me to pass them up. AS I am passing on their right, my motor sputters, coughs, and dies, out of gas. I was not more than a boat length in front of them. I said, "well boys, i think i just ran this motor out of gas". They said I picked a good spot to do it & towed me back to the dock.
First and last time I have ever run out of gas in anything.

Speaking of boats dying, dad and I took my wife out a couple summers ago to choke canyon (south texas) in his boat that he had just bought. Moving from one spot to another in the middle of the afternoon the motor just dies. Couldn't get it to run long enough to get anywhere. Ended up using the trolling motor to get back to the dock, 2 hours later we burned through both batteries. I had to hop out and walk us in when we got closer. Hopped in the truck and it was 105 at 5:00. He had more problems the next summer too, needless to say he bought a new boat this last summer. Feel bad for my wife, she's a ginger and was burned to a crisp.
