Perhaps Bill was just trying to be friendly. Are you hoping to get anything for your
boat for Christmas?

Not really for the boat, but I get quite a lot of cool fishing gear
most years. Last year my little girl picked out a gift for me without
any input from mom, it was a Bass Pro Shops ceramic coffee mug. I use
it every day.

I wish someone would give me a gift certificate for new brakes, wheel bearings,
master cylinder, and anything else my trailer needs!

wow....Maybe I'll wish big like you.....hell, I wish someone would give
me a give certificate for a new Nitro bass boat!!

I'm not going to put in much time between Xmas and New Years, so I may
get to the lake a couple of times to go stripper fishing. They're deep
and slow, but can catch them on live shad, blue back herring, trout, or
shiners down lined...
