Here ya go...
nice... really nice!! and inspirational - makes me want to work! makes me want to weld something lol. I'd always planned on working until I couldn't anymore (in my 80's or so?); but that day came sooner...

Can and do still get around, work some at home; but the mental adjustment rivals the physical. Mind tripping on days gone by, some fond memories like the ridge reamer with my dad doing in chassis rebuilds.

Said somewhere on iboats before, this old Sears boat he bought for me was $69 marked down to $62! lol SOLD!! That little boat has been fished harder than a commercial vessel. And just like me, rode hard and put up wet. One time it was launched from the cartop at 70mph, drug alongside until we could stop!! It's my 4WD boat too; no log jam, beaver dam, stump field, sandbar etc has ever stopped it from proceeding.

have often taken my chainsaw with me to clear away fallen trees

hey, I like them purple people eaters too; I've signed no contract to favor just one team

Too much of a rivalry for too many years. Never will be a Cheesehead..... I'll remain a Mud Duck. Good on you, tho, that you can root for both....:high5:

I root for the Badgers.... :)

when I say "stealth boat", this is what I mean - "this one time.. at bandcamp!" lol was easin' through an inlet of previously unknown depth lol. Deep in the swamps but figured it shallow before opening up to a good sized lagoon. Suddenly, the boat rocked as if I'd caught the wake of a big boat. It was maybe 10' deep out in the creek, but not suitable for any craft other than a canoe.

I turned to look and only saw a big gator tail dashing away. He/She had been laying there in less than 2' of water waiting for dinner!!

some of what stealth will do...
http://

Ten pounds plus and post spawn; will not Bass fish during their spawn. July '05 in Carolina - no gators!!
Carpet is draped and bolted to sides only. You have to eliminate as much potential noise as possible to slip up on big Bass. Then you have to fool 'em with presentation ; anything else lacks skill and sportsmanship. IMHO

I will not fish tournaments; that isn't what fishing is about IMHO
Will rarely keep a big Bass; they are the breeding fish. But they do have really good tasting meat; if you keep one over 4lbs, be sure to cut out the cheeks for a really good chunk of meat!! TASTY!!!

she was released :D

If anyone can find a Fran Tarkenton SB victory ring. I would consider acquiring it. But you gotta find one first. :D

He was in SB's against the Dolhgins, Steelers and Raiders.

Yep, their 69 team was the one that went to the Super Bowl in 70 and lost!


And they were highly favored........

My dad hated Cosell..... I didn't care for him either. Just like Brent Mushmouth......
