  1. Yeah baby, get those nasty things out of here!!!!
  2. To kill the bugs in the water. Why else?
  3. You don't forget anything, do ya? I was like...WTH is he talking about, it's too early for him to be drunk. Then I remembered the "reasons to not go fishing" post. JFTR I made that up 😁 Daughter is back from India though and she admitted to 2 "accidents" and 3 nights of puking her guts up because of eating street food and drinking too much iodine.
  4. Sure'nuff is! We make a game out of it around here. When the yard is full of boats the Ka-Boom never comes from where it sounds like it comes from, so when it's my turn to guess I always choose from the opposite end of the yard.
  5. Ha! I've learned to recognize those kinda days early on, so when they happen I regroup and move to more Fail-Safe projects. Some days are just cursed and everything you touch turns to poo. Other days you can do no wrong, and perfection is effortless. Today I'm killin' it! πŸ’ͺπŸ˜€
  6. I'm anal when it comes to tires. I'd rather pay double and know that there is some pretty tough construction between the rims and the road. Having a "flat" is an inconvenience. Having a "blowout" on a curve is just as dangerous as being thrown from a boat. You'll never find soft tires "cushioning the ride" on any of my vehicles or trailers.
  7. I don't need these anymore. All balance well on a 5wt. and are smooth and reliable.
  8. I can't tell you how many times we have had trailer tires explode here while just sitting. It happens all the time. I have a theory that it is because alot of the trailers around here have set for lengthy periods, long enough to get a flat spot on the tires. The boat basically lives on a hoist and the trailer lives in the weeds for months/years. The boat needs service so they air up the tires (which look fine) put the boat on it and haul it to the shop. 2-4 days later....Ka-Boom! Luckily one has never done it while I was standing next to it, or while I was in the boat working. Between that and the air inside pontoons warming up every day/cooling down every night and doing that popping/creaking/crying/growling/gurgling thing they do, sudden explosions and weird freaky sounds around here are very common. Sometimes it's like a pontoon symphony that's kinda cool. Other times it sounds like a haunted graveyard, or like there's a zombie, feral pig, or tortured child in our yard. 😳
  9. He's part of the Ho Humm owners family. We were going to pitch camp there but he creeped us all out. When we said were leaving he got even weirder. I talked to 2 other campground owners and the guy that grades the road (after our incident), and all confirmed that he wasn't just having a strange day..... he's a for-real strange dude. Not "friendly strange", more like serial killer strange. No exaggeration. Folks that have camped there have posted stuff on FB about him hanging around their site, acting strange and not leaving, and stuff like that. I had it out with them on their FB page afterwards and they deleted it immediately. Screw'em! That dude needs to be institutionalized for life.
  10. I'm guessing either the tire is too skinny for the wheel, or the tires have wimpy sidewalls.

    What's Cooking?

    Heck Yeah !
  12. I wouldn't go above 50psi. Are you sure the tires aren't too narrow for the wheels ?
  13. Leave the guy alone. You don't know what the mud/clay is like where he fishes! I'm sure he's bright enough to know when he shoves it in the ground whether it is stuck in there good enough or not. Why do you always gotta pick on everybody? Just Pick-pick-pick, all the time. If I had one of those poles I'd shove it up your mudhole and we'd see how big of a whisker-fish it'd take to pull it out. "It's a biggun, bite down on it! Clinch man CLINCH!" 🀣
  14. You're drunk, go to bed!
  15. Had a neighbor that used to cook snappers frequently. In spite of numerous invites I never did go have some. I should have.
  16. Yep, and holding moisture so the rocker panels rust quicker. Chevy's need no help in THAT regard. The old Fishwagon has never had them and still got the cancer
  17. No static at all, from you, would be appreciated right now. I have my hands full with these other jackasses.
  18. Nope. But the one that does wear the pants kinda likes for them to be clean. 😁
  19. I'm leaving these on just to make Sugarbritches happy, but I'm doing a 3"lift so she actually has to use them, and if need be all I require is 10 minutes and a 10mm socket....and those basturds can be tossed on the roof rack.
  20. Maybe the reason y'all feel the need to travel so far from home all the time is because #1 you chose the wrong place to live. And #2 Because you never cross the ditches, the only parts of your county you experience is where the roads are nice and flat. I did plenty of traveling before I settled down, then chose to settle here. Everything I care to do on a regular basis can be done within 50 miles of my home. Sorry if that makes you jealous. ☺️ Now as for the Tahoe lift.... I can't even crawl under this thing because the stupid running boards. If you've ever crossed a river with running boards then you know how they act like the lip on a crankbait. But you city boys probably never considered any of that because of your "turn around don't drown" mentality. And when your truck breaks down you just call for roadside assistance. I'm a bit more independent than that. A "country boy will survive" and all that kinda BS. I know the value of a high truck and 10 ply tires. πŸ˜‹
  21. Guess it's time for population reduction. Refer to the Georgia guidestones. People need to quit the incessant breeding, religious organizations need to stop with their anti-abortion propaganda, and the government needs to stop supporting the warts of society for a lifetime just so they can keep having babies who will follow the same path as they grow. Animals become overpopulated from time to time, but their numbers don't damage the earth because nature is allowed to take its course. We've become to smart and too kind for our own good. Harsh but true. And nobody has the balls to face it.
  22. Time for all these biologists and environmental engineers to get busy then, hu? Are any of them even discussing it? What are they waiting for?
  23. True. Biggest one I've ever seen was during a bird hunt in November. Frost covered the ground that morning.
