Re: What does everyone do for a living?

I forgot the most important job of all... I'm Aspecks personal fishing guide whenever he's in town... lol :p :D....

Now all we have to do is catch something legal! HA! Rays, ropes, grouper that Snapper has hooked before ... but where are the legal BIG fish??? HA!

This time he blamed it on the engine - not enough power to come on plane - but after idling around and getting ready to head for the dock it mysteriously works ... seems to me he didn't want to use much gas ... :D ;)

A-hem!... I'm pretty sure that whatever it was that chewed thru that 130lbs. leader on my chugger would have been legal..:p Edible, maybe?...:p (note to self... re-rig all trolling lures with WIRE)

And if you and Dex would get down here more often (to drag my butt out of the shop, & fish), I would'nt have all that old gas and injector clogging crud in my tank:p.... Now i gotta get a fresh filter, a can of seafoam, and run up and down the ICW for hours on end to burn all that old gas off..:p

Re: What does everyone do for a living?

I started out working in a sign shop (hand painted everything - before the days of machine-cut vinyl) for 7 yrs right out of high school to put myself thru college.

Have done inside technical sales for a mfr rep firm since then (22 yrs this week) - we sell industrial process control equipment.

Re: What does everyone do for a living?

I used to be in the navy for about 4 years. I was stationed in Japan for a year and then lived in Australia for a couple of years. My family has had a tradition of serving the navy since way back. Just look at my name: Billy Gull. We were made to sail the sea:)

After I served my four years in the navy, I moved to California and worked as a dock handler there for a couple of years. I moved from there to Louisville, Kentucky, where I settled down and had a family. I wanted to raise my family where I was raised and where I had a lot of family. I began driving a truck (pretty ironic turn for a seaman), but I get out to the lake every chance I get.

Hey, by the way - not to change the topic here, because it's a good one - but can anyone recommend to me a good insurance company? I just bought a new boat and I'm so paranoid something is going to happen to it, but I've always been pretty choosy about this sort of stuff. The company I'm looking at looks pretty good - they're called United Marine Underwriters. Can anybody tell me about them? Here's a link:

http://www.unitedmarine.net/

Thanks yall!
Billy, you might want to ask in the boat topic and questions, non engine
forum.
It will get buried here.:eek:

Yeah and you can smell the hippie/farty smell of the UNIX dudes; like Woodstock in a 120 degree heatwave:rolleyes:
Good arguement for Iboats; I keep it real with Microsoft (makes me the $$) with its added value features like security holes throughout and APES that design the apps. UNIX is commie software; and will bring the money maker to its knees:eek:
May as well buy a Mac (wish I had a MAC in distress smilie(sick MAC) to add here)
Just the facts Ma'am
