Stalking the elusive wild gas cap

A couple of weeks ago, shortly after the boat arrived here, the males of this household and the boat's owner were attempting to fill the gas tank of said boat. The gas cap, like all good gas caps, had a ball chain attaching it to the boat. So far, so good, right? Well, after unscrewing the gas cap and letting it go, assuming the chain would keep it attached to it's host, it promptly drifted, oh so gracefully, to the bottom of the lake. None of the males noticed that the chain wasn't securely attached.

Since that time, this scene has been repeated numerous times as the aforementioned males of this household attempt to recover the wild and elusive gas cap. In the meantime, red tuck tape and a rubber cup holder serve to keep the fuel in the boat.



They do serve to amuse.
