Hey Don!

Yup, went fishin' again this morning with my dog and guitar. Woke up
about 7 am, decided to go, turned the truck around, hooked up, grabbed
the battery, gas, a blueberry muffin, and some bait, on the water
about 8:15. Kind of weird morning, heavy fog but I could tell it was
going to break. Headed for Mashapaug again, today looking for lunker
trout, deep. Got one nice brown, listened to a lot of music, stopped
at an island with the dog and played the sicks strings. Stayed out
about an hour later than I wanted, but it was nice and the sun was
shining. On the way in the throttle let go and I was stuck in an idle.
Had to stick my hand in and hold the throttle open to get in, but it
was not a big problem at that point. Home by 1 am to have a nice day
with the family and I used about a 1/4 cup of gas for the morning.
Going to have to see if I can find a new part tomorrow, should not
cost more than 10 bucks, not bad for my first repair of the year.
Anyway, like I said before, and as Harry has figured out, the smaller
the boat, the more you use it, especially if your partner is leaning
toward less water time, and you are just left to fish with your four
legged friend.
Wimp... :)
