I have a feeling alcohol was involved.

Nope. My brother tuned up the engine the day before to ensure we could have a care free day landing fish.

When the engine compartment started leaving a contrail behind he shut it down.

We cut the heads off our soda bottles and started bailing water all over the head, in an effort to cool it down.

Just as we get through with our manual water pump exercise he starts laughing.

“Now that I think about it, I may have put the impeller in backwards” he chuckles.

I laughed and reminded him of the time I had rebuilt an engine and forgot to tighten the bolts on the #3 piston rod.

We both just laughed and he pulls out oars and says “Guess we’re Norsemen today”...

“Sure, yuh dork. I’d rather be a Marine. Let’s adapt and overcome” I said...

He yells “Topper!”

We don’t drink during the day but, that was fun.
