Fuel for the Dodge Ram to get there and back
towing the boat $20.00,
You live right at the boat ramp? $20 won't run a V-8 Ram to the end of the
driveway!
7 gallons of scallops to clean. We get home and find our well pump
has gone out, NO WATER. At last, we run a hose 300' to the neighbor,
cold showers outside tonight and we all smell like scallop guts.


Do you use the shop vac method to clean them?
Some Florida guys posting on the CS forum do that.
Pretty interesting.

We seriously considered the shop vac method but without any water to
clean my shop vac well......................so, we did em all by hand.


I used to wear contact lenses inside my dive mask but I can no longer
wear em and my eyes are so bad I cannot see anything 2' in front of me
without glasses. I do not have a prescription mask yet so snorkelling
for me is out. I tried to use a 5 gal bucket with plexiglas in the
bottom to see through. This sorta worked but in deep water Ichest
deep) I then couldnt reach reach the scallops on bottom even with a
short hnadled net. My kids were able to get most of the scallops.
Finally, we got into water about knee deep where I could see em on the
bottom and pick em up.
I got talked into going again this coming Wed so I dont know what I'll
do except run the boat.
