Vernon and Bobby-

Given that I'm still unemployed due to the COVID-19 restrictions on concerts and large events, I happen to be available to assist you guys.

First Vernon- given that Bull Shoals is still only a foot or so below full flood pool, as a public service, I'd be happy to deliver your trailer fender from Flippin to Kansas, in order to prevent a man with your "special talents" from visiting the Bull Shoals drainage. All I would need would be for the OAF guys to take up a collection to pay for my fuel. If someone wanted to make sure I got some burnt ends while in the KC area, I suppose I wouldn't refuse that act of kindness, although truly, I'm acting purely out of the goodness of my heart, in the public's interest.

As for Bobby's new boat- since it's not the same level of public service keeping Vernon in Kansas is, I'd have to have a reasonable per diem for my time, but I'm pretty confident I could get it from Flippin to Branson in about a week and a half. It would arrive ready to fish, motor broken in, and If we act fast, I could make sure to provide a few extra premium services, at no additional charge.

New livewells have a disturbing fiberglass resin smell, which just ruins your day in the great outdoors. I will replace that chemical smell with a nice, complex air of Largemouth, Smallmouth, and Spotted bass, that any livewell connoisseur would find pleasurably intoxicating.

In addition to fixing the livewells, I also offer my special First Scratch service. We all know the level of concentration it takes to catch deep post spawn bass in the Ozark lakes, and I've found that new boat owners are often distracted by worrying about when their new boat might get its first  battle scar, and fail to be able to efficiently fish. In order to ease your mind and allow you to focus on fish, I will bear the burden of that first scratch in the gel, for a reasonable fee.

Given that I'm also traveling with a 5 year old boy, I can also throw in the First Seat Hook Puncture at no charge, and possibly even the First Blood Spot, depending on how on his game my little guy is.

Finally, given that its road repair season in the Ozarks, I will also provide, completely free of cost,  a light coat of fresh oil and gravel for the bottom of the hull and the trailer. This special coating protects the trailer, and breaks up the outline of the hull, acting as camouflage to the fish. 

Again, I'm only temporarily available, so please, don't wait-  book now!!!!

I simply cannot see how either can refuse such an offer.

Mixermarkb, you are certainly a service oriented person. Those are great offers to relieve stress for Vernon and bobby b.

I wish I would've known about Mark's free tow and haul service this Monday.  I took my trailer up to JWM in Reeds Spring to get some work done, took up most of my day, sure would've been great to have Mark do it for me.  Hey, I would pay for gas and even give him $10 for lunch somewhere (cheap).

I'm not sure what added value I could bring to you to seal the deal Quill- since your rig isn't brand new, i'm guessing its already had its First Scratch. It would take me at least two weeks to get from Bella Vista to Reeds Spring though. Lots of "traffic" this time of year along that route... Maybe I could offer a special on "backing up" your GPS data to my units, just in case yours ever crash, your waypoints would be safe with me! consider  my units your own personal Cloud!
