Well for those of you who read my post entitled "fish from heaven" your already familiar with Uncle Jim, If not feel free to read it to gather an explanation of this strange but much loved man.
One night I recieved a call at 4am. It was Uncle Jim explaining to me that he was in trouble and needed a ride. I ask him what jail he was at, and much to my suprise, he was not incarcerated, but he was fishing, saying only that he was having "car trouble"
I drove to meet Uncle Jim, and his best friend "mud" at a local catfish hot spot, and man did they have a haul.
I jumped in his car and it started fine, looked like the fuel level was good, so I ask what the problem was. Jim only replied "its a tire problem."
Stepping from the car and looking at the tired I knew....I just knew....what had happened.
They were hauling in the cats like mad....breaking off lines now and then and had run out of sinkers....yep...you guessed it....they had resorted to using lug nuts off the car. Unfortunatly they didnt run out of beer....if they had run out of suds sooner they would have noticed that there seemed to be a drastic shortage of lug nuts. One wheel had none at all and the other 2 wheels had exactly one a piece.
What impressed me most was they noticed before they tried to drive home....I guess its a good thing "mud" was such a sharp guy.*rolls eyes"
More adventures to come...I promise....God I hope uncle jim never reads these forums....hed kill me.
