    Nobody fishing?

    I injured my left shoulder 6 days ago. Treated it with ice and Tylenol for 3 days and it was feeling better. Then last night, I completely wrecked it! I was lifting a gallon container to the top shelf in the fridge and Kablamo! I was supposed to go fishing tomorrow morning (the last late...

    Yah, my wife won't be in the boat until it's fully checked out and ready to fish. She actually prefers it that way. :cool:

    At this point, the boat is now "technically" able to be splashed. :cool: The engine runs and the new hydraulic steering system is installed and working correctly. And the TM is there as backup. I'd like to get the TM batteries mounted into plastic boxes and circuit breakers installed before...

    Gun ownership and permits.

    Thank you. I've been around guns my entire life. Started shooting at 3 years old and at 71 now, still have a few. At one point, guns were my main hobby and I owned well over a hundred at the same time about 20 years ago. Sold the bulk of those to generate cash to buy my home here. Being...

    I spent 2 hours vacuuming the boat this morning. That really sucked! 😝 Now, I need to find my nuts. 😁 I think I have some 5/16 stainless battery nuts around here somewhere. :sneaky:

    I found some pix online of a red version of my boat. Mine's definitely been hacked. And here's another blue one, but smaller than my boat. That rear deck held 2 more seats.

    Because some prior owner pulled the front casting deck out. Most likely from being soft/rotted.

    Yesterday I bought more butt connectors and today I made more progress. Got the trolling motor wired up in the front of the boat and did a little cleaning. Tomorrow I'll get started on wiring the TM to the batteries.

    I work slower than molasses on a January morning in Vermont. :sneaky: But, on 18Oct24, I went to the Ortho doc and got another set of knee injections, which has helped. I also injured my heel on 15Sep24 and that's really slowed me down, but it started feeling better in the last 48 hours. I'm...

    Guys, lately I've been busy cleaning up the property after Milton went through. Nothing major; just deadfall and whatnot, but it needed to be done. The weather broke after the storm blew through and we had beautiful, cool weather. Lows in the upper 40s a couple times. Sixties for highs. We...

    Well, if we were sitting in a boat fishing, we'd still be talking about it anyway! :LOL:

    old pictures

    Last year for my daughter's 35th birthday, I sent her a file of all of the pictures I have about myself and our family, starting way back in the 1950s. I included a Word file with a synopsis of everyone and another for each decade and year, providing descriptions of all the family members (some...

    Nobody fishing?

    I had another set of cortisone injections day before yesterday. Massive improvement very quickly. I still need to lose more weight before I can get the surgery. Physical Therapy (PT) would help, but it's a PITA to get through the VA for me. I've done it locally before, but now they require...
