'Lil damp down here Labor Day weekend ...
« on: September 06, 2010, 09:21:32 PM »
Only struck by lightning twice on the way home tonight. But the boat kept runnin' so it's all good ...

B'leve it or not the tach started working after the first lightning bolt. But quit again after the second. Sigh ...

Come on Doug. We all know lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place.

Doug, if you really got struck by lightning twice, your story would be longer than two sentences. Recall the story length and detail of your go-cart accident. You are getting it mixed up with your prop name "Lightning." Hope your labor day was electrifying. LOL
