Almost ashamed to share this pic, but maybe someone needs to see it. This is what lots of Cocaine and "White Crosses" will do for ya 😢. Nice bass. Sorry assed angler. 😣

What a sweetheart 😊 I had a Molly too (Molly Hatchet). He was an English Pointer that had a superb nose and a rock steady lock-up.....but he was a bird eating monster. Got to shoot plenty when hunting him, but I never once got to enjoy a meal. I loved the hell out of him though. He got all worked up during a 4th of July party and had a heart attack at 6 years old. I still have his collar. How long has it been since you saw a gun rack in the back window of a pickup ? 😅

Oh God! Be careful! Some giant killer whale might make a snack out of ya. 😳 I saw a video once where a guy was wading way out on a flat, looked to be 200 yards from dry land, catching bonefish. He hooks one and a 8' shark started homing in on the hooked bonefish. What do you do when THAT happens ?

Is that a baby redfish? I don't know saltwater fish very well.

I've never had a truly good hunt over anything's but Pointers.... REAL old school liver & white Southern Pointers, not those far ranging hyper-assed little English Pointers that the guys on horseback want. The only problem I have, and I think I touched on this here before, is that if you want a truly TRULY good bird dog you can't love on them all the time. And I just love dogs too much and get too emotionally attached. The best Pointer bird dogs are basically emotionless, they aren't "pets" and they don't know or understand "love". I've hunted over setters and brittany's, and they are pretty and can occasionally find a bird, but picking cuckleburrs out of that fur is a drag, and if you're truly into seriously busting quail I don't think any other breed can do the job like an ol' square headed shorthair pointer. There's just something in their blood.

That's more like it. 🤗

Listen mutherfukker! Can you think of ANYTHING nice to say to me? 😳

You're more than welcome to mine, if that makes you feel any better. 👍

Yep, it's a bad spot to have a boo-boo. Always moving/flexing, and then there's whiskers always poking through. Just refuses to heal up completely. It's just gonna be a part of me from here on out I think. Somewhat depressing, but what the hell....it ain't like I've ever been known for my striking good looks. 😊

I'll be there with a tire iron and a shotgun by the time that kicks in. 😎

Not for long. He eats really fast, and then wants MORE. 😊

He will temporarily pause to inhale a pork steak, but that only takes 2.2 seconds. If you wanna steal something worthwhile you'd better bring it's equal value in beef, pork, or chicken to keep him occupied long enough. 😂

I'd rather not advertise my audible Threat Level commands. You're welcome to come and try to steal a prop or something though. 😊

I have a very high tech cordless alarm system. Ultra-sensitive sound receptors, even has very accute scent detection, and no worries about power outages or anything. Here you can see it recharging itself while remaining in Standby mode

If I'm going into a battle zone I want a shotgun. If I'm worried about going somewhere and a gunfight breaking out..... I'm gonna equip myself with a kevlar vest FIRST, and then maybe think about how I want to carry. Carrying ONLY a gun is stupid, because if you're the first one to touch off a round.... you're in big trouble, and might just wish you were dead.

I kinda hope you can. I'm overdue for a lesson, and I'll wear that tutu like a badge of honor. I'll replace my wading belt with it. Might even permanently attach it to my outboard cowling.

I do. I ain't scared of you and your spinning gear. 😊 You're gonna look cute as hell in that tutu.

I still wanna do it, for real. I'm just requesting a rain check.

That'll work. Nice brown! 👍

No, YOU will. 😎 Plus you're getting to dodge the tutu. Just for kicks, go out and get serious for 8 hours......and let us know what your best 4 fish weigh. 😊 You've got a scale in the boat, right?

I assume that you are already pretty good at repairing your equipment. So when applying for your business license be sure to include "repair center" (no extra fee) and get a Merchants license thru your county for your address (12.00-20.00) so you can add fees for aquiring parts. That will help fill in the intermittent dead spells. But do not mark up the parts and add tax to them, because if you do then you'll have to file quarterly's. You should not need a "MO tax number", just a FEIN#. And if you can avoid "hiring" anyone....by all means do it all by yourself (or at least keep it a family affair). Hiring helpers is nothing but added headaches, added expenses, added liability, and it just bogs you down. Study the latest laws on LLC if you can add your wife as a partner. That might be a good move. That's all I've got. Good luck. 👍

Luckeeee ! 😞

Don't hold off on my account. Bottom line is that it's gonna be awhile before I can do anything out of town. I have a whole yard full of broken boats....and my gloveless hands are only good for about 20 minutes at a time right now. I desperately need a full week of +50° weather to get caught up.
