Well, I almost didn't get the chance to do the whole thing due to the fires. I had scheduled vacation days so I wasn't really threatened with going to the fires, but, there was a small chance that my vacation would be cancelled to backfill for the guys that did go. I didn't get a call from the Battalion Chief by Tuesday afternoon, so off to the river :D
We checked in at the Blue Water late Tuesday night. After picking up our boat near La Paz and launching and checking in it was 10:00PM. We had Jack and coke until about 1 AM.
First thing Wednesday morning I snuck out and "borrowed" a couple of champagne glasses from the bar upstairs. I iced the Dom and hid the cooler under some chairs in the boat. I look up at the and the sun was missing. I noticed the sky was filled with smoke and ashes from the fires.
A little after noon we head out and start boating. Heading upriver we stop at Road Runner for a couple of beers and lunch.

The weather wasn't much for sunning so we just cruised the river. Passed the boat cop about four different times. We decide to stop at Fox's for a beer then back on the boat.
By this time, 3:30, it's happy hour at Road Runner. Now we're feelin good and I order a Cadillac Margarita. Or was it three?
I really wanted a sunset to do my deal, but, with the smoke and ash it wasn't going to happen. We decide to haul ass back to the Blue Water and anchor/float/drink. Jayme's feelin GREAT by now :D

As we're floating I ask her if she want's some champagne. She looks at me like "WTF"? I usually do beer or Jack Daniels or Jaeger. So she says sure she love some. Now we're both feeling goooooood.

After we finish that bottle, she says "got any more champagne?" I say F%^K yeah. She thought I was kidding :D
By now we're getting loose and our eyes are burning from the smoke and ash. I decide, what better time to propose?
So I do, and she says yes :D
The second cork is popped and now I'm officially engaged

Thanks!!:D Yes, OTR, the river and Dom was the perfect setting for me. RD, the boat cop was out all day. I heard he might be going out on Wednesdays? Wes, OTR was great. Maybe the Revolution for the wedding/reception? It's probably big enough and I'm sure it'll have all the cool $hit that OTR has, plus some. I better start saving!
Thanks again everyone.

Congratulations. Good thing that cop didn't pull you over to check on your drinking and driving. ;) And I thought Firefighters were supposed to be holy(sarcastic tone). :D :D

You're right. I did take it easy while out in the open water, especially after the boat cop went by Road Runner and saw our boat parked out there. The real celebrating came while anchored in front of Blue Water, which is where we stayed :D

Jayme says thanks :D She's actually used to the whole deal. Her family is full of cops and firemen, so she kinda knows what she's getting herself into :eek!:

So the moral to the story is, as I understand it, keep feeding her the booze until she'll agree to anything? Sweet... :D :D :D
Congrats to you both. :D :D :D
