I hear you Mcgolfer. I just finished getting rid of 28 moocher's who came over for Thanksgiving. They drank and ate everything. They even took all the left overs.

I was just checking my email and I have an invite to go tuna fishing at Boomvang and Nansen. The boat leaves at 10am tomorrow morning. I have taken two straight three day weekends fishing and hunting. Both of them were almost with no sleep. I'm one beat POS.

All I have to do is drive to Port A by 10am. I'm so far behind at work. I really need to go in Friday morning. I really don't have much time to think about it.

Come on MrBill, you can work when you can't fish. This is your payback for being a gracious host. Go get 'em.

I hear ya Rick. Light a fire under that mechanic. It's fishing time!

Hi Rick I feel your pain, I really hope your boat get fix soon.

I wanted to fish so bad

Mr.Bill, work can wait, but weather and tuna won't wait for you. Pack up and get going . If you decided to go, good luck to you all and catch one for me .

 

[MrBill]

I decided to stay home. I got a lot done at work today. I can catch up by working Sat and Sun. I can fish any weekend I want and I feel I made the right choice. I eat everyday. Money and customers are important to me.

I also just won an incredible bet. A Texas friend gave me 10 points on the Texas/Texas A&m game that was played today. If A&M actually won the game the bet would be doubled. Guess what, I am 2 "G"'s better off then I was this morning. Thank you Aggies.

we ended up putting them on the port and starboard sides near the transom. being a cat hull the motors were an issue if we wanted to put them in the transom. i did know that you were a mechanic but i also know you live in the dfw area and my boat is in freeeport.....rick

 

[jaredchasteen]

maybe he can fix hybrids also.

 

[bpitcher]

Still the port motor having issues? Did you ever end up getting the right gasket for the cover? I have to say, the duct tape held up pretty dang well on that trip.

Yeah, while I was sitting on Vance's porch I knew the seas were laid down big time. Hardly a breath of air and fog in the mornings. Ice cream! NOAA radio would report..."Freeport to Matagorda Ship Channel 20 nautical miles to 60 nautical miles, seas 1 feet." I was dying!
