To hell with golf, I'm going fishing
I went and played golf for my last time Tuesday. Anything that is that
painful is not fun. Anything that I can't get a decent grasp on in three months is not fun, either. For $20-$50 for three or four hours of golf, I can go boating in my little guppy quite a few times. The lake is about eight miles, and a 40 doesn't burn a lot of gas. Plus, I catch big rainbows that sell for $6 a pound at the store. So, time to dust off the guppy, fix the carpet, replace some wood, do some painting, get some hardware, another anchor, a battery, and .................... holy ****. I think it may be cheaper to keep golfing. Steve |

When he retired to SE Florida, he played almost every day, but he didn't use a cart...he walked the courses with some buddies, and I'm sure that contributed to his long life. Getting that kind of walking exercise out in the fresh air has to be good for you. The rest of golf, though...a crashing bore. |

The western world can thank laissez-faire capitalism for the innovation of the freezer that allows one to store large amounts of food for lengthy periods of time for steady and moderate consumption over time. And providing for one's own sustenance relieves pressure on a bloated leviathon of a government. -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service -------http://www.NewsDemon.com------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access |

I was thinking the other day, while playing, that I'd probably never get very good at the game. I've been playing for five years now, and shoot in the 90's regularly. But, every so often I'll bang out a 108 just to keep my head from getting too big. It's frustrating. You know you can hit the ball well, but the last shot went into the woods. It gets very demoralizing. |

Casady When I lived in Louisiana, we would stop when we caught as many fish as we wanted to clean, and they were still biting. 125 is about right. At Toledo Bend, they had scalers that looked like commercial laundromat dryers. You put your fish in there, and they tumble around, and come out all scaled. They worked great. But you still had to gut them. Steve |

A better question is why anyone would want to *catch* that many fish.
It's gluttony at its worst. I'm sorry. Was I drunk or absent the day you were put in charge of every little thing? This is a free country, last I looked. Go **** yourself. As long as I eat the fish, I'll catch all that I legally can. You ****ing asshole. Gluttony and self-indulgence at its worst, to me, is someone with a keyboard and no life who has to comment negatively 150 times a day about all manner of triviality. Steve |

The lake where we caught the bass, Shelbyville Lake, has no limit on white bass. The boat has live-wells on either side that can hold a substantial quantity of fish. The live wells, 2 per side, are approximately 3'x2'x1 1/2'. We filled one side of the boat with 130 fish. (The aerator wasn't working on the other side.) A smaller boat could have trouble with 200 lbs. of white bass. People, less a large number of liberals and progressives, can be fairly enterprising. There's always a way, I suppose. -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service -------http://www.NewsDemon.com------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access |

I've never been bitten by a chigger while fishing. I'm sitting here now with a total of about 75 chigger bites on my upper thighs, waist, and ankles. Chigger bites are not fun. I think the last time I had a chigger bite was when I was a young kid in Missouri. I must have stepped in a herd (or whatever) of them when I played golf Thursday. Bad ****. |
