No, but I figured that was the only thing YOU would believe. Personally I am going off of witness statements. You apparently saw a report that said he was being mouthy and uncooperative..... Still waiting for the link to that.

Man, where are all these dope cooks and hell raisers when I'm around ? I'm either blind or y'all are exaggerating a bit. I see far more "bad behavior" in civilization than I do when out fishing. I can't even remember the last time I had a problem with any of the goings on while out on the waters or in the woods.

Yeah I kinda figured that was how you were doing it. That spark-check method isn't very reliable I'm running the very same motor right now on my boat. I love the 90° crossflows. Well, I love it a little less when at the gas pump....but I still love it.

Where is there a report that says he was mouthy with the Authority figure ? Even Piercy stated that Brandon was "cooperative". But then again Piercy told so many lies that who knows. After he put Ellingson into custody he let someone that was just as buzzed (or moreso) as Brandon was drive the boat home. Where's the intelligence in THAT? On the way to "headquarters" Piercy hit some really rough water, GPS reports show the Donzi going from over 40mph to almost 0mph in a matter of seconds. Being handcuffed and standing he was thrown out. And 3 witnesses stated that Piercy lollygagged about retrieving him because quite frankly the dingaling didn't know what to do to get him back in the boat.

Those rings make for a slower fall and I used to like that, but anymore I want my stuff to fall faster. Seems like I get more bites on a fast sinking worm than I do on one that flutters down slowly.

Andy, Kill switch intact? How are you checking for spark? If you drained all the fuel out and let it sit then you probably have carb bowls full of oil from the VRO system. Pull the drain plugs on the bottom of the carbs and see what comes out, I bet it is straight oil/no fuel. Drain the oil out then pump the fuel primer a few times to flush them out, replace the bowl plugs and squeeze the primer to refill the carb bowls. I bet she fires right up. If you truly have no ignition (and you don't have a DVA tester handy) then you'll have to take it to someone that knows how to properly diagnose the ignition/charging system. The parts aren't cheap and you have to diagnose correctly or you risk blowing new (non-returnable) components.

My family spends ALOT of time on these lakes/streams and we've seen very VERY little of anything that ever bothered us. So I guess I'm a little unclear on what it is that we need to be protected from so aggressively. I'm on a lake every single day that is considered the most unruly body of water in the tri-state area. People have a few drinks, prolly smoke a little, and some of them are driving boats.... So what? The illusion being pounded into everyone's head that after a couple beers you completely loose the ability to get from point A to point B safely is a crock of crap. If you can play Frisbee like a Champion, do triple flips off a diving board, kick butt in volley ball or shoot pool like a straight-up hustler (all after a few drinks) then you still have the ability to safely pilot a freakin' boat or drive a vehicle. Breathalyzer tests are BS. Brandon Ellingson had a few beers but he was not WASTED. Just 30 minutes before he was stopped the kid totally RULED the games at Coconuts. If being "3X over the legal limit" he can beat you at ANY game like that then he is still in better shape to drive than you are. Officer Piercy couldn't have beaten that boy in a game of checkers, much less anything that requires motor skills, so I'm totally deaf to any talk about how drunk and full of cocaine he supposedly was or how he deserved to be pulled over and taken into custody.

There's alot about that whole deal that you apparently don't know. I'm not getting into it on here but a Google of Brandon Ellingson will bring up 3 days worth of reading and YT videos for ya, if you want. Seriously sick deal.

Those are Guido Ringers. They were made by Luck-E-Strike in Cassville. The camoflage 9" Ringer was my favorite for a long time.

Alright then, so every time you see a "suspicious" person you call them to come shake'em down! Then call the county every day to see if you're eligible for that cash yet. I'm guessing I prolly shouldn't call about the deputy that meets his mistress at the access though, even if after they leave there is like 9 cigarette butts and some Jolly Rancher wrappers on the parking lot where they sat, right?

Wherever the mother in-law parks her car.

Yeah that's pretty gay. I wanna see someone ruin some furniture like I did when I tried to join in.

Bob is still around but I haven't visited with him in awhile. I need to.

I saw a gator gar (dead) on the Little Niangua years ago. My dog rolled in it. It was gross.

Wow. An introductory video like that almost guarantees they'll be out of production by this time next year. Better buy a bunch of them now if you want them.

Keep those big streamers moving fast so as not to give them a real good look at it. Make it to where they either have to eat it NOW or it's gonna get away from them. Pressured Smallies make the most mistakes when forced to make snap-decisions.

Depends on how you fish I reckon, if you fish like Al and try not to get your feet wet then it might suck. But if you basically use the craft to get from place to place so you can get out and wade then it would be pretty sweet, and even though it might be a tad heavy to load and unload it beats the heck out of shuttling (which I hate with a passion). I'd hate to see a bunch of them zipping up/down the rivers I fish though.

Yep, I believe I'd cut my losses and move along quietly. Reason being IF they demand you get the trailer off their property then you're screwed. Considering the condition of the trailer.....if they want it, let'em have it. Beats having to pay to have it moved.

Better or worse? Nobody will ever know.

I replaced a throttle cable and test ran it, but I didn't leave the trailer. July 5th on LO....I'm pretty sure it would have gotten swamped. Maybe not but I didn't wanna buy it so I didn't try. This one had dual engines and jets, and was almost as wide as it was long. Like a jet powered saucer.

Here we go with "normal" again.

I hate to drive and I remind everyone of that almost daily. Awhile back I realized that of all the miles I have put on vehicles in my life thus far only a tiny tiny TINY percentage were me going somewhere that I WANTED to go. That pisses me off. All the gas, tires, repair bills, truck payments, insurance, ect.....I should be filthy stinkin' rich. But NO, I have spent my entire life running all over the place just to make other people happy.

I got to play with one of these yesterday. Pretty cool, but....YIKES! http://www.mokai.com/

Dinner is at 6:30 In case you were wondering.

Oh Harps doesn't need any marital advise, he can do anything he wants. That was just his PC way of saying "I ain't driving that far to go fishing with you".
