welcome to the board Riley. You are a very lucky lady to have so many adventures with your family. Zoey sure is growing fast. Art

I am sorry to hear this you might decided to take a little time to regroup by taking a lesser job for the money then the pressure of being unemployed will be lessened. I wish you the best Art

Wow what a deal I wish I had the time to do this trip because at that price money is not the issue. Art

thanks for posting the solution. Art

I am pretty sure that no loons were harmed in this video...he lives in Florida. Take this for what it is...it answers the question of how fragile are the sticks and if the hydraulic rams are strong enough to survive the one stupid thing we all will do and thats forget to raise the rams before taking off. I would after viewing the video buy this anchor system if I fished a style that it would be beneficial. Art

Well kind of the same the alligators are by the tag so their is a limit of how many are harvested. Very few of the gators are snagged most are baited. Snagging was done by few and only to kill time till they checked the lines. Art

If it makes it any easier think of it in inches it doesn't sound as bad. Art

You really don't want to listen to our weathermen....... I have shoveled a lot of Rain because of them. Art

Red light and a buzzer should be in the manual as to the cause. Art

Yea thats what I meant to say only I can't hold a thought long enough to say..... look a squirrel.... Art

Go for broke start with a weedeater and work from their. Art

DING DING DING we have a winner. It is an attempt to put in place a check/balance when the Netflix or equal are selling the movies and letting the internet providers absorb the cost. Kind of like using your buddies truck and not putting gas into it when you return it. Art

he also missed out on the free fishing trip every month in Florida airfare and spending money included for life too.... Art

The Elite5 will not work as a trolling motor mount the transducer is long and skinny. The Hds 5 will and if you add the lss1 you will mount the separate transducer on the back of the boat. You will then have a 83/200... LSS1 455/800 MHZ to chose from as a networkable unit that can add gauges and a hds 7/8/10 unit as the main in the future. Art

Most of the time management will agree and tell you to stay home but.... in some cases in the back of their mind they decide that you are expendable and not a company man. It is often thought that the person staying home is their not because of the snow but for another reason. Kids off school,wife not home,etc...It is better to drive to the end of the driveway and put it in the ditch and then call in. Art

Welcome and I have a buddy who's dog is named tripod because he is short a knee...(well actually the whole leg but thats not near as funny as just the knee) Art

I hope you get it back. Art

If you pay travel to and from the job I will do the work for free... Art

Keep it to the facts and stop name calling or it will be locked. Art

May the garden remain green and light the path to better days Jackie. Art

I will sell your Roy he is the best fish finder I have seen. Very compact and doesn't drain the battery. Art

Great another photoshopped fishing picture. Didn't you think we would catch you??? :blahblah1: Art

When you fish from a large boat 20ft plus the rails are taller, the platform is more stable and your ability to move around in a bigger area makes mishaps less likely.I haven't put on a life jacket on the 28ft but once and that was because we were busting 7ft waves at 25 mph. On the other hand you wear a life jacket before I even start the bass boat because it lacks the 3 features the big boat has. The conditions that you fish in are what dictate when you wear your life jacket if the conditions make you uncomfortable then wear it. Sometimes the law takes that decision out of your hands but if it doesn't and you chose not to wear one it does not point to a lack of common sense. I can't count the number of times we have stood on the back platform to land 50 lb plus fish without a mishap. Heck most of the time we have a hard enough time getting the mate to not jump in the water to cool off after a good fish. Don't get me wrong I think life jackets are a big plus and if you can't swim on my boat you are wearing one 24/7 but if you are a rational adult it is still your decision to wear one or not. Art

Good for her I am glad to hear that. I have a firstmate for the 28ft boat who's 17 year old niece is the 2ndmate and she is going to get her boaters license this winter so she can run the boat. This fall she had to have cataracts removed from both eyes and now can see the buoys and channel marks well enough for me to feel comfortable letting her drive. Art

The way she is holding it, it looks like a perch shaped Harmonica. Glad to see the youths out in the fresh air enjoying their heritage. Art
