Why don’t you just ask the HOA if they can repaint and turn all the spaces 45 degrees.

Now we’re getting somewhere.Probably wouldn’t cost that much either.

Have you ever dealt with an HOA old man? I have. Text me and I’ll tell ya about it. Statue of limitations hasn’t run yet. I ‘m sure they would be very understanding when myself,fat tony,bighead franky,the horse and some of the other guys from my old neighborhood in N Chas. explained the situation.

If I had claim’s $, I’d put a hit on somebody. Or buy a house with a dock

Nope. She’s getting some dolphin trolling lures. What color do you suggest? I got her a trolling rod for Mother’s Day. April is just around the corner.

I little off topic, but I’ve got a friend that drives big trucks for a living. His Dad made him back up over and over around his field and would not let him drive forward until he could back a trailer. I’ve seen him put a lowboy trailer in a place I would have never believed. There is an art to backing a trailer into a tight area.

I learned to back a trailer starting with a 4 wheel hay wagon, with a steerable front axel! I really learned in the Army with a Jeep and Jeep trailer! Those little trailers will jackknife on a dime! If you can back up a Jeep trailer, you can backup anything :smiley:

we’re gonna read about you one day. she’ll get enough and quietly plot your demise. she’ll have an airtight alibis. then she’ll sell all your fishin sh*t on craigslist and buy the granite counters.

You should buy her an electric start for her lawn mower, or an extension ladder, to make it easier to clean out the rain gutters! Happy Wife, Happy Life:wink: Think of her for once:smiley:

All she’d need to do is simply stop cooking. I’d starve to death. :smiley:

We don’t have gutters…I’d have to buy her gutters first. But that is a thought to ponder.

I already got her a self propelled push mower - how much can one person give?

Claim, you need to buy her a Tiffany, ring setting! Just the setting, with no stone! Get one with the setting prongs spread really wide, as if to except a very large stone! Tell her, that the best is yet to come, but you just haven’t found the right one yet! That will work for years:smiley: When you want to get out without her, tell her you are going to look for something:imp:

54

Easy,you’re a genius, I wish I heard that years ago.

55

I honestly don’t know what’s wrong with you people. Try to stay on topic please

56

Go ahead and back up.

Hmmmmm…if I thought that a Tiffany ring setting would help in backing the boat into the tight parking space, it might be worth it. But lucky for me, The Warden is not big on expensive jewelry…or so she says. She would like to replace her 2004 Yukon Denali XL SUV…aka, “The Mothership” with something newer.

I guess the boat is too heavy to push in by hand? Stop frequently and check clearance?

Never would have thought a boat parking thread would go to page 3. But then when you consider half the posters act like they are 3…
