you'd think that someone who's been on the lake as long as I have would know better... This morning I had to commute to work, so I allowed myself plenty of time to take a leisurely ride in. I got to the Glendale docks about 6:45 ( plenty early ) and as I was getting off the boat, I heard a sound that no boater ever wants to hear...ker-plunk. My key ring fell out of my pocket and into the lake. Got my boat hook out and tried for 15 minutes to grab onto them ( in maybe 4 feet of water ) with no luck. Not wanting to be late for work, I stripped down to my boxer shorts, to the amusement of the folks launching their boats, jumped in the lake and grabbed them off the bottom. Moral of the story...if your wife gets you a float for your key ring, put it on! Dumbass....

OH NO! But looks on the bright side, it wasn't in the middle of the lake but only in 4 ft. of water.
