I don't remember, I just googled it and it popped up on Amazon.

That's cool. I mean, I bought a special bump board and everything. 😅 Where's that basturd that beat me out by unanimous decision last time? I wanna piece of him! 😉

See, now the conversation has turned to Anal. It's all downhill from here.

That's too bad, I thought it was gonna be a really fun deal. This is why we can't have nice things. 🙄

I was beginning to wonder when one of y'all was gonna wake up. If it wasn't for my whole 5 county thing it would already be in my driveway. 😉

Yep, pedals are line grabbers, and wireless are too heavy and too hard on the battery. A single Group 27DP runs everything, and the motor only charges at 6amps. Spotlock would sure be nice to have, but I've gotten along fine all these years without it, so I'm gonna resist current technology on the principal that I'm a curmudgeon, and have a whole pile of anchors behind the shop. I also chose the cheapest LCR that would monitor water temp and battery voltage. All I really want to know are those 2 things....and the depth. 👍

Do y'all get to hear the Steve's Pest Control ads on the radio, or is that just a local thing here at the lake? The folks that run that biz have a stellar sense of humor ! 😅 Almost makes me wish I had a termite, rat/mouse, or ant problem.

I have cameras on the boats around here, and a few gaggles of crackheads fairly close, but all they ever do around here is be helpful. One of them told me awhile back that someone asked him about "that place with all the boats" and he told them, "That guy stays up late, has a dog, and is about 1/2 crazy....I wouldn't be messin'round there!". I'd say that's about the perfect reputation to have here in Gravi. 😊

I love those motors so much! Keep her tuned and maintained and she'll run forever. 👍

I tossed that idea around. It would look really cool but I'd never actually use it. I have a hand operated TM on a ProControll mount and a 50amp 12v plug up front. I have a brand new black Bimini top that I found laying in the road and nobody came back to claim it. I'm thinking that might be sweet to have on there while searching and waiting for the white bass blitzes to happen.

These ads make it really hard to follow a post. This is probably why so many posts get hijacked around here. How can we learn anything about carpsuckers and COVID19 with distractions like that? 😋

Oar lock pins are pretty standard, and bushings are used whenever they aren't. Lot's of different designs.

What's next? Viagra for Panda's?

I can see why snakes would wanna be in a blackberry patch, the woodpeckers and bluejays were working our patch over real good this morning. We still got 4 cups of ripe ones a little bit ago, which is about what we've been getting every for the last 5 days.

For whatever reason, mosquitoes are never bad here around Lake O. Years ago, when I was a kid, they would spray diesel fuel along the shoreline to combat the mosquito hatches, but they quit doing that a long long time ago. The skeeters just don't like it here I guess. I'm thankful.

I was looking through old school pictures awhile back and was quite taken back. My kindergarten teacher was HOT! 😲 Apparently you don't notice such things until 2nd grade.... because I remember being excited about my 2nd grade teacher who was also a real looker.

I don't believe in him either 😋 His existence, if real, would kinda debunk the whole importance of having "faith" wouldn't it?

We have a horsefly here that violently attacks anyone that gets in the pool. His name is Gerald.

What does the sheets on your air mattress have to do with it ?

I have seen hatches like the ones in those videos on the Salt river. Turns the fishing off like crazy, I assume the fish just gorge on them until they are so full they can't eat another bite. My grandpa had the window cracked open on his station wagon and they literally filled the car overnight. It was pretty nasty the next morning, they even suffocated a lit Coleman lantern.

Yep, they have run me out of my shop every evening for the last 4 days. The whole town of Gravi is covered in them. Happens every year but usually in August and never as severe. So they are early and HEAVY!

We have cucumbers that are huge, but white as a sheet. Do you leave them to ripen on the vine....or pluck them and take them indoors ?

And Blah, blah, blah. Lots of sweat and cussing, and hangups on getting paint, a console, and various other items that ordinarily wouldn't be a problem at all (thanks to COVID fearing suppliers across the country). Anyway, she's done and ready for taxes and registering at the DMV.

I started with this... Originally wanted to keep it a tiller but the Merc 25 had been run with no oil and it was too far gone to save for a reasonable cost. I couldn't find a long shaft tiller 25/30 so plan B was to put a console in it and install this sweetheart that has been hanging in the back of my shop for 3+ years Framed a front deck w/storage area and plumbed the livewell and covered in SeaDeck (the lightest color available to keep things cool in the sun) Installed some LED front lights because light posts and flyline always wanna make love to each other in the middle of a double-haul.
