DIY Safety Tip ~
Stitched up incision is healing nicely. And while I appreciate the epidermal repair, I am not a big fan of the nasty cold/flu I managed to contract. Apparently my facial covering was insufficient. I haven't been 'sick' for a couple of decades. Hope once this mess clears up I can go a couple more. #snotface A-Jay

What's your FAVORITE rod in your arsenal?
Quantum Tour KVD PT Cranking Rods Relatively Heavy vs most every graphite blank Totally lacks even half the sensitivity of a graphite stick Plenty of low end and still seriously parabolic And that's the magic #olred A-Jay

Lund pro v bass performance
I had that once I went to the GEN3's Added a Boat Zone transducer Board Spray Shield and it's a none issue now. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RP33R8K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc= Admittedly over priced but it's not something I can fabricate in the hobby shop and the spray back there gets old fast.

Lund pro v bass performance
5000 rpm seems low for WOT on that rig. May be an internal digital adjustment needed to get to 5500 - 5800. With the 2016 hull, 200 Pro XS and a 21 inch Tempest Plus WOT for me is right at 5500-5600. Gets me 53-55 mph with flat conditions & a full load. The V-8 does prefer Cooler air temps for max performance. They shipped my rigged initially with a 23 inch prop which was too much. Went to the 21 and never looked back. No experience with the 19 but based on my experience you should be getting more RPMS. Bet it's a simple fix, you'll get it ironed out. It's part of the fun Good Luck OK enough of that - what about the rest of that rig ? Think you have enough storage ? A-Jay

DIY Safety Tip ~
I got a little something injected at the wound site. And it worked OK. Which was Good thing too. Otherwise Nurse Ratchet would have had a moving target . . . #squirmy A-Jay

Mono
Another vote for Sunline Defier Armilo ~ Was recommended by @WRB It is my choice for topwater & fluke fishing mono line south of the border. I use the 22 lb in open water and 25 lb in the bushes. A-Jay

DIY Safety Tip ~
These are all I use on the riding unit. Keep them sharp and they do me right. Hold a decent edge as well. A-Jay

DIY Safety Tip ~
Super sharp might be a relative term, especially compared to the ones I took off. I mulch and use these . . . . https://www.cubcadet.com/en_US/blades/xtreme-high-lift-blade-for-48-inch-cutting-decks/02005017-X.html But I buy them here https://www.ebay.com/itm/265615572964 A-Jay

Consider installing the new super sharp mower blade AFTER cleaning the bottom of the unit. #knucklehead Friday the 13th . . . . A-Jay

Life changing decision
Three things came to mind right off ~ First perhaps consider meeting the head coach if you haven't already. Might answer a few things. Second, ask for more money; regardless of what they are offering. You have leverage apparently. Third - Adding a 'Quick decision' to the offer is concerning. Perhaps there's 'something you don't know', but should. Too much at stake to make a snap decision. Good Luck A-Jay

Nav Lights on a Bass Boat?

If a vessel is exempted from carrying specific equipment, that does not mean that a wise skipper would not carry it anyway. Following the lighting requirements is not only a solid plan regulation wise, it might just keep you from being run over by a larger and or faster vessel. Believe me, they're out there. Also, as a man who was tasked with enforcing these standards on a federal level, In 20 years or so, I will tell you that I NEVER issued a single warning, not one. Did site operators Citations when indicated though. The warning is the regulations themselves; Read them, know them & follow them. Attempting to interpret / circumvent them, makes you a hazard to navigation. I don't recommend it. Stay Safe A-Jay

Said Farewell to Tucker today ~
Right off, Thank you so very much for the out pouring of support and the touching condolences. My wife and I, as well as the remaining pack, really appreciate it. Over the course of these many years, we as 'dog people', have had quite a few come and go. Between fostering & re-homing and including own own pack, there's been a fair share of both happiness & sorrow. For us, regardless of how many times the sad part comes to pass, we take a hit. Full lives, those cut short & everything in between, they all manage to work their way into our hearts & soul making the good bye that much tougher. My wife takes them especially hard, every one. We certainly understand that it's part of the deal we make. Tucker's sister Fenway is doing remarkably well for an 11 year old Malamute. Large breeds usually get the short end of the stick on longevity. Thanks again A-Jay
