Well i went out to do another nuisance beaver call today and borrowed a chums canoe just in case i needed one as mine are up at camp. When i got to the spot and got out of the truck my left knee the one i had fixed gave out and down i went hitting the ground and scratching the lenses on my glasses and skinning the elbows. After that i put the canoe in the water, the canoe is a fiber glass12 footer with greased curved or rounded bottom. When i first got in i almost flipped but got the canoe steadied and paddled out to the dam. After setting a couple traps on the dam i went to get back in the canoe and before i knew it i was neck deep in stinky swamp water. My glasses have fallen off so now i have to feel the bottom. with my hands.After 5 minutes i found my glasses in the muck just beside the canoe thank god. Covered in swamp muck i get back in the canoe and paddle to the road. By this time my golden retriever does not even recognize me and is barking inside the truck. I remove all my cloths except my briefs and head for home. Going down the highway a police car pulls up behind me with its lights flashing and i,m thinking this is going to be good, but when i pull over he scoots on by thank god.Got home and had a shower and 2 drinks of rum. Tomorrow will head back out to check then off to camp for the weekend, but i will be bringing my flat bottom 15 foot canoe home on Sunday. What a day!
