Well around these parts a Lincoln wouldn't last long on the heavily rutted gravel roads, Partner. 🤠

Sadly not enough of "us" to see that they get paid better, and taught better common sense & hygiene. 😔 400.00 in 8 seconds sounds great..... until you consider what you have to accomplish before you get paid. 🐂

Looking good! -
I grew up around a bunch of them. Their trucks were always dirty and beat to hell, with bald tires and a spit can in the cupholder. You didn't wanna scrap with one back when they were in their 20's-30's, but by the time they hit their mid-40's they had lost all their teeth and were all divorced, broke down, and frail. And their BOOTS was about all they had to be proud of. Looking back, I'll take my lifestyle over theirs ANY DAY. 😉

Heck of a job! That's better than I could have done on that stretch. 👍 What did you catch them on?
-
Oh boy, she's finally opening up 😅 Tell us all about it, Beth !
-
Ahh yes 😉 The ol'Wacky Packer. I've put my time in behind one of those.

That's all anybody ever does anymore. Even the kayak anglers. Everyone is a slave to their electronics and lithium batteries.......just like the manufacturers want. I heard a crappie pro say that "If you wait to FEEL the bite, you're too late". So now "sensitive rods" aren't even needed.

As a "guide" I would hope that your client was the one CATCHING them, not you.
-
Who determined that ?
-
Me either......But wouldn't ya think?....... Especially when all these out-of-state folks show up just for ONE event. One of the MLF pro's got DQed recently for not having a fishing license. Ron Shearers boy I think. Woopsie ! 😅

Is there a way to gain that experience any cheaper? And feel that feeling? You profited, and you can't deny it. 😉
-
Do you suppose he checked EVERYONE, or was just riding around playing the lottery? Was he at the Weigh-in?
-
Yeah..... that's why it leaves such a lasting stinging feeling. I've personally never had a "bad experience" with a fish & game officer, but I know what it's like to have a LEO with an attitude in your face for no reason, and that's pretty much the same thing.
-
Yeah..... Probably one that YOU paid for. 👍
-
True. Lasts a lifetime too. I've had numerous pleasant times with all forms of AUTHORITY, but the unpleasant times, albeit far fewer, REALLY STICK WITH YOU ! You might forget the girl that kissed your cheek, but you'll never forget the one that kicked you in the nuts. 🥴

Hey, it's better than repacking trailer hubs and pounding out races........and pays the same 🤷♂️ Actually it WOULD BE better, if not for the occasional spider.

There is a workaround for Mercury fuel pump driver relays.......but doing so requires having a 30 minute SAFETY MEETING with the owner, because if he leaves the key on and the motor isn't running.....the pump can overheat and the vapor separator can EXPLODE ! And when/if he sells the boat you know darn well that he isn't going to tell (warn) the NEW owner. 😳 So I will only do that for close friends that understand fully.
-
Where they screwed up IMO is when they put relays inside the ECMs. Jesus Christ, relays fail all the friggin time! 🙄 It would have been a breeze to wire all of the relays OUTSIDE the ECM so they could be tested/replaced separately. 20.00....Poof.....FIXED !
-
Tech time is over. Time to get back to fishing talk.....or something unrelated to WORK ! 😁
-
Absolutely not.
-
Things like that get caught right away here. The first step to troubleshooting any running problems with an outboard is always a COMPRESSION TEST ......Which requires removing the spark plugs and visually inspecting them. A visual inspection of the spark plugs gives clues to potential issues.....even issues totally unrelated to the spark plug itself. That's why it is annoying to me, and just costs the customer more, when the first thing people do when their motor isn't running right, is to CHANGE THE SPARK PLUGS 🙄
-
You'd get fired if you worked for ME then. 😉 Actually I probably wouldn't fire ya.... but I'd certainly reduce your pay. 😅 And tell you to grab a broom.
-
Good for you ! They don't all last that long though, do they? I have to replace my cell phone about every 2-3 years. And my laptop about every 5-6 years. A bad ECU/ECM doesn't always mean that the motor won't RUN.....But it does mean that the diagnostic software won't pinpoint an issue when&if one occurs.
