Poor babies complaining about staying home when it's cold. I wish I had your problems. It's cold out there and I've already had to abandon one drive this week. Made another to KC for a couple of days. Had a slip and fall on the way to my truck this morning. Was mauled by a dog in the process. (You ever had frozen dog slobber in your hair?) Winter can suck it.

I have an older 12T and haven't done the seat mod. I grew up fishing in a float tube so sitting low doesn't bother my fishing but I feel it would be easier for my fatass to get in and out of. @Harps has one too and I do believe he did the seat mod and has liked it. The newer seats are a lot better than my older one too.

I pussed out Super Bowl Sunday. Was going to head to RR for a trout or two before the game but me and Charli Suzi decided against it. I used to fish no matter what the temp. I noticed that as my dad got older he would refuse to go more often. Said he didn't have to go on those cold days anymore. For several years he would jump on a plane 6 or 8 times a year and head to Falcon lake for a week. Drove me crazy that I couldn't go with him, but at least he made sure I had a boat to use if I wanted to go out in the cold while he was gone.

Oh well. It’s a football game and my Monday wasn’t any different because they lost. I never watch many commercials. Super Bowl or not. Or half time performances. I love football. I need no other reason to watch. My last observation is that they blew it on naming MVP of that game. That is a huge disrespect to the TB defense. Those are the guys that won that game. Getting really tired of sports media thinking the only players on the field are QBs.

I pissed on an electric fence once when I was a kid. ONCE. An older cousin told me to do it. I don’t think it hurt nearly as bad as the asskicking he got when his mom found out.

Hey oneshot, your new work uniform arrived.

The cleaner the better. I guess it really depends on how nice you want it to be. If you just want it to be one color then get it clean, scuff it up, and go to town. If you want it to be really nice then let me know and I'll type out that lengthy response. But neither way is difficult.

Thanks. Definitely the strongest monster I ever encountered.

Here's another one. I'm the dork on the right. My badass deckhand on the left.

I was part of an event that Jeff Gordan attended. It was open to the public but only some contest winners actually got to come on stage to meet him and get a pic and autograph. Those people had to have a ticket. My job was to collect their ticket and make sure that Jeff had plenty of markers for autographs. There were thousands of people there. Way more than there needed to be. The line for the ticket holders went down one side of the room and around the back, so those that didn't have tickets could crowd the stage we were on and just watch him and he talked to them a bit between people. They seemed pretty content. But there was this one little boy that just couldn't understand why these other people could go see Jeff but he couldn't. After a while the whole thing just seemed ignorant to me so when I went to get the next ticket holder I instead reached down and picked up that kid and sent him over to see Jeff Gordan. Jeff was great and spent a minute talking to him, took the pic and signed an autograph. I then helped him back to his mom who of course was in tears at this point. Mission accomplished. As I turn around I can tell that Mr. Gordon wants to have a word with me. He looks curious. I leaned down where no one could hear us. He said "Did that kid have a ticket." I remember it plain as day. I had to choose my words carefully. I might have just pissed off the biggest star in NASCAR at that time. So I looked him straight in the eye and said "Nope". He smiled and said: "Do it again". So as the ticket holders progressed through the line and their turn with Jeff, I would pick out random kids and send them up. Turns out it was a local radio station promotion to get a ticket. They were furious. But what were they going to do? He's Jeff MF'ing Gordon. Fun day.

Yes, Tom Brady is a pretty good coach.

Green Bay players got to sleep in their beds too. We’ll see. It should be a good game.

I don’t remember taking the pics but I remember the day.

You let out a little line and try to get it to eat the bonefish. Use that sucker like a fly and hope for a good hookup.

I'm going to start shipping you all the dead squirrels I find. "Hey Charli Suzi!! Get your big butt out in the backyard and catch Mr Billethead some squirrels. But don't mangle them all up like you usually do."

They are more important than you.

They lost it.

That's a cool little gadget. I would get one but my racks are setup to carry it upside down.

Why do y'all do these things to me?

Around there you better take care of it or you risk the chance of pissing off the chef. Do that and you miss out on things like this.

Scrape it off and give it a quick wipe with some towels.

We have a Blackstone at work. It get's used every single day.

Great pics.

Buffalo was not prepared for that.
