Ah yes! The voice of embarrassed remembrance! Don't we all know that as if it came from our own mouths!

As I recall, Denny, about 30 years ago, when I failed to do just as you mention here, my pickup, trailer and boat all slid backwards until my boat was floating once more, and my exhaust was making bubbling noises.

(BTW, that was at the ramp in Lake Park, with an appreciative audience looking on))
