Got home late after a meeting last night and my bride asked if I had
anything planned for the weekend. I've got an event with the Nebraska
Game and Parks where I'm going to teach a class to "Women in the
Outdoors." Just told the bride "I'm gonna do Outdoor Women." I'm
getting a crap load of the evil eye even today.

My SO took a whole series of classes from that (similar) program (in Texas) -
generally a great idea and a great program, but trust me on this one - DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO TEACH WOMEN HOW TO LAUNCH A TRAILERED BOAT!

I sweardagod there must be something in their genes that prevent them from
backing a trailered boat down a boat ramp...oh, sure, they seem to understand
most of the process, but seem completely incapable of grasping the concept of
"and if you don't mind, please try not to damage anything in the process...."
Six women managed to do a little over 8 grand worth of damage to boat, motor,
trailer and truck, and it was the first and only time I'd even _heard_ of a
trailer jack-knifed on a boat ramp...no, I don't mean "jack-knifed in the
parking lot" or some such, I mean what I said: jack-knifed _on a boat ramp_...

TC...and good luck,
