I gotta quit my day job...
Anybody finds a way for MBS to pay & allow elimination of the day job, please let me know!:cool:

Nice looking catches maddie!

Jas seems immune to the temptations. Another 65+ degree here. Not a bad winter so far, but man, so ready for it to be over!

nice group of fish there.........

why in the world would you want to be in an area where there is white stuff and then it turns clear and solid????? seems that clear stuff falling to the ground is good enough.

Great, love that start-up. I agree, that 2-stroke smell is like an elixer in the morning! When I'm sure of the weather, I have to service my water pump & then I'm good to go too. A few minor details before the real boating season, I'm going to order a semi-custom cover & put in 1 or 2 bow supports for it.

Have a great time, boaters gotta love this weather!

OK, you definitely scored at least one point, there...

Hope the weather is as pleasant as the sound of that there Johnson...

Don't forget the rods and tackle this time...I'll fire up the grill for when you get back...

Have a blast, you and yours definitely deserve it...

QFT or she wants to buy something. (maybe that's just my wife)

I'm on vacation as of today and have been toying with the idea of making the 70mi trip down to lake myself to see if I can get an early start on the season.

Here's to good weather and an early season. :D

What a great day:D

Photos in the a.m.:)

If you turned into a pumpkin how did you type & post this? It's like 3am Jas time isn't it? W/ an in-law visit and family boat time, I believe someone might sleep in on Sat am. Showing off that great looking Jet, and taking everybody out for a cruise. Been a big day....

Hmmmm, if I were a betting man, I'd go with generic jar coffee dispensing container as my 1st guess, measuring cup 2nd. It'll be the first serviceable container in the morning, esp if its a regular 330a wakeup.

Great that it went so well & that you got some pix. Congrats!
