I guess that is what is left after all of the republicans suck,
democrats suck, OT-, liberals suck, conservatives suck, unions rock,
unions suck, threads and newsgroup vandals are filtered out.

Now, I know it is getting colder, but isn't anybody still boating or
interested in boating?

And yeah, it IS worth it, gives me the same feeling that taking out
yesterdays shrimp to the garbage can does....


I'm still boating, Gene. Not big boats, but messing with my jon boat.
Goose hunting, with duck hunting coming up. My 9.9 needs an overhaul,
starting to miss a bit, and doesn't idle well. I'll do that over the
winter. I'll switch to the 4hp soon, it's lighter. When I'm dragging
boat, motor, decoys, guns, etc. through the mud, it's easier.

Wish we had shrimp up here, I'd be on-'em like a lab on ducks!

Leaves have started to turn here, and the nights are in the low
forties. I can't decide if I love this season more, or Spring. Life
ebbs, and flows, like the tides, and for a little while, we are part
of it. Might as well sit back (or not), relax (or not), and enjoy it.

That jon boat was lighter ten years ago, though. )
If I ever die of a heart attack, I hope I'm dragging that damned boat
at the time...
Regards,
...carry on.

To email me, please remove the "FISH" from the net.

Like Noah I was out last weekend in a small fishing boat. I have been
fishing not hunting. Mine is a little 14 footer alunimun fishing boat a
7.5 hp merc. Works great in the ga mountains.

But I will be heading out today in the cuddy to take the kids fishing,
and swimming if it gets warm enought.
