After the usual boring six and a half hour pull to Pierre SD the first day on the water went well for four hours. A limit of keeper walleyes in the boat. Then the Opti blows another fuse. Then won't start after fuse is changed. Then trim switch won't work. Then no one comes to my aid as I drift down the Missouri (pronounced Misery) River. Finally get towed back to resort and pile it all back on the trailer and everything starts working again. Six main fuses in seven trips all while applying power and or trimming up.
Local Merc dealer is intrigued but doubts I want a 800 mile round trip for him to fix so he says go home, take it to my home dealer, not to trust it just because it's working now. Decide to take son who lives in Pierre for hike in the badlands. Ten minutes there he rolls his ankle and severely sprains it.
Very long six and a half hour trip home in the cold rain.
Boat is at Tracker awaiting the Tech. I'm checking my boat insurance to see if it covers fire. Problem is .....everything is too #&cking wet to burn.

Oh some good news. The house Insurance is covering the TV,surround sound and chair and other items that was damaged to our family room a couple weeks ago when a pipe broke and soaked the room with about 300 gallons of water.
