  1. No, its "who is Zed? Zeds dead baby" Pulp Fiction. Its great working with young malleable minds. They tend to harden and not let anything in later on.
  2. Online showed them applying to a riveted boat. My rivets are solid, but the tears tend to take on water while running in river. I can sit on lake all day and it will stay dry. The hull I am switching over too is in mint conditioned and has not been Rogered for the last 20 years. BTW, Roger is the guy I bought boat from. I don't think we have missed many rocks with it.
  3. Gonna have to try some of that on my current project. Something to seal the rivets.
  4. On 11Pt, I used to use trout guts on a hook, flip them up on bank when grabbed on, then into cooler.
  5. Ticks are bad this year. Deer on cameras loaded up with them. They did run a pretty big float operation out of Baptist at one time. Loads of canoes sit in upper lot waiting for weekends. But is skinny up there, guess they have moved further down.
  6. Sulphur does the trick. Most garden stores carry it.
  7. Wondering how you get 100 ticks wearing wading boots in a canoe on the Current River. Were they laying in the trees you pulled over? Surprised the trees in the river, NFS usually cuts them out. But there was a healthy storm last week and they are getting lazier.
  8. Better lay in a few deer. Better eating.
  9. I do. By taking a beating, its mostly due to the light weight of the boat. And the oversplash coming back in the boat on a choppy windy day or wakes. As far as handling, its nimble and quick to plane.
  10. My little jet tiller jon is flat Express 1654. Others were 9.9 props 1436
  11. Most all are privately bid offices. I like some of the rural ones. Usually helpful and joking around. They really do not have anything to do with the government, just make a commission off what goes thru.
  12. We are all waiting to see Smalliebigs new boat.
  13. I would not hesitate to take them out on open water. Just aim my boat into the wakes and time the throttles. Waiting to see what boat he is running.
  14. My ears have been jacked up since the radiation to the head and neck. But my trip to the Chattanooga area had them popping like normal again. I had been afraid to fly since the radiation. Dropping off hills into the Current River valley had me under alot of pressure, my ears would not pop right. Hang in there.
  15. Flat hulls only suck in choppy water.
  16. GPS only means no map sd slot usually. I think the X part of the model states that in description. I use my finders on rivers to track my course and use the route I go up to make my way back sometimes. Usually rivers are just a thin blue line at best. Some have a wider boundry on the Lowrance Navionics chip. I have the splitshot puck on my river boats, smaller and less apt to tear off. Triple shot gives you sidescan, but is about 6" long. Take this link and you can see about what you will get on a base map like Lowrance Inland Maps. https://webapp.navionics.com/#boating@6&key=kzmfFfrugP Or download the apps and look at the free maps on your phone. https://www.lowrance.com/lowrance-app/
  17. By the time a fish finder finds a tree or rock, the boat is on top. Most sonars look down. I have put Lowrance Hook Reveal units on my last few boats. Built in lake maps, can buy a chip for some of them for more detail. Both have traditional and downscan sonar and work well enough for me. Lowrance has refurbished units from time to time and save more money.
  18. Many of those geese are cripples, just walk up and wring their neck, supper time....
  19. Trout are good smoked. Catfish are too.
  20. Even comes with a manual. Lots of reading just to cook. When is the party? That is big enough for a whole pig.
  21. How is that lip doing?
  22. Infection? I assume you are taking Barometric Therapy. If I ever have to have any dental surgery, I have to do at least 2 weeks of Barometric before and after. To prevent any infection to the radiated bone which has no defense mechanisms left after radiation.
  23. Interesting thought on the automatic inflatables. I don't wear them in a kayak because I usually get wet and can set them off. Paddles dripping on the trigger at the same height. I have some manual inflatables that I have wore in the kayaks. While I could get knocked out by a limb to the head, I would say 99% of the time I can yank the cord and pop it to inflate. I have camo for duck boat and a waist belt one that I have even used wading alone on a swift river. I swim like a rock.
