Thanks guys. Got rid of the party barge a while back and the admiral and I got rid of each other shortly thereafter LOL, so I guess I just kinda drifted away for awhile. Still have the 16' flatbottom which has proven to be big fun for small cash, and my favorite thing in the world is moving water for which the GF and I have two rafts, two canoes and a tandem kayak.

Nothing better to change your life than to get a divorce. I don't know you but can empathize. The best thing I ever did was to get rid of a 120 pound shoe maven Imelda Marcos wanna be. When the boys helped us move years ago they pointed out that she had no less than 6 big boxes labelled shoes. But buying a little tinny was never in our budget. The lady I'm with has given me 27 years of love and care. She bought me my 19' StarCraft 12 years ago then bought me a brand spankin' new Silverado to tow it after she drove my 89' GMC beater, once. She be a keeper I tell ya'

I wish you all the luck in the world Sir.

for me, third time was the charm and having just got two canoes late last year i think that is the best quality time we've spent together is on a deep cover that has a stream feeding the lake.

Thanks for the kind words everyone! It's been an interesting few years with lots of good to balance the bad. The divorce was about as amicable as one can be. She and I butt heads occasionally still, but nothing like we did when we were married LOL.

I came up with the idea to chronicle Amber's and my outdoor adventures around the state on a website. It's also informational for people looking to get outdoors and I'm about to sell discreetly placed ad space to very carefully selected vendors. Drawing up a contract this week for the first one. Here's the site - hopefully okay to post.

My job has been outsourced, but in exchange for staying til year end I'm getting a year's salary plus bonus, so I'm being paid to leave a job I've hated for years and otherwise would've had to maintain for a while longer due to financial realities. Scary, but exciting!

It is a bit cold to be boating around here right now, but it can be productive ... We have shot a few animals "while boating" (deer and bear) this hunting season. If we were in Arkansas it would we worthy of the Arkansas AdventureGram!
