My life (and near death)

As a side note: We had a Sandford gathering today. I had a really fun time. There's almost nothing better than a close-knit extended family.

I had an exciting little incident the other day. I was helping Daddy move his boat out for the road (for sale: 25' US Yacht; interested, call us) and I was driving the tractor while Daddy used a rope wrapped around the trailor hitch of the golf cart to keep the boat from rolling down the incline we were descending. I stopped for some reason, put the tractor's brake on, and started to get out of the tractor. Unfortunately, my shorts caught on the accelerator (a lever, not a pedal) and I was left partly hanging from the tractor and halfway hopping as the tractor roared down the drive pulling the boat--and the parked golf cart--behind it. I managed to stop the tractor before any damage was done, but the boat kept coming. I had to go a bit further or be smashed flat as a pancake, so I did, but Daddy got the boat under control pretty quickly once I stopped pulling it. Fun stuff, huh?
