I've had alot of ice cream, I like the exotics, but nothing beats the classic vanilla frozen custard.

i can hear that poor truck crying.

the medows large banana split, 4 whole bananas, 1 1/2 quarts of frozen custard, fudge, strawberry sauce, crushed pinapple, a can of whipped cream, and 6 cherries.

didn't get any pics, I didn't make it too far into the lake. :-/ My buddy did hit his nose pretty hard on the bow light though.

The first time out with my friend, and he wanted my to pull the boat out of the water, it was the first time I ever drove an old jeep, and nobody told me that reverse is where first is on any other truck. :-[

I was watching a school of bass work a shoreline from 75' above, so I don't think they saw me. When one surfaced, all of them followed suit, does anyone know why? Is it like when the lead bird in a flock makes a hard turn for an insect, and the rest of the flock follows hoping for a meal?

Ever had a midget tell you you're hair smells nice?

does an elevator smell different to a midget?

It'll be awhile yet, I neet to get the engine in the wife's car to free up the garage, then i'll aquire all materials I need first. So far, finding new parts for an antique motor is a challenge.

I have a 1956 sears and robuck 12.5' v-hull, with a 1972 johnson 6 hp, and a minn kota 30lb thrust, since I hurt my back, I can't sit in it for very long, and I think I'm going to do a little modification. I love the boat, it's perfect for a one man show, I can use it on any water around here, gas or electric, its even made a trip to presquile bay. My plan is to remove the center seat, put a center deck with a pedestal seat in. remove the front seat, and make storage units, and encase the rear so the battery and fuel tank are hidden. I'm upgrading the electronics and trolling motor to a foot controlled unit. The trailer is getting new fenders,axle, and paint, and this winter, the engine is getting a rebuild. I'll post pics as I go.

On a hammer drill, or a Sawzall? jackhammer with denatured alcohol.

When they built my favorite lake in the 50's, the contractor never moved the cemetery, just the headstones. We had a bad drought in the early 90's that surfaced alot of brass handles, and other weird things.

I finally got my schedule worked so I could get a trip in with a friend I haven't seen in 2 years. We hit the lake in the evening, and didn't do too bad, I really don't remember the fish we caught, we were having a good time catching up, then off in the distance, we hear "TOBY! you're done, I'm over it!" over and over, we figured we would see some kid getting his rear smacked, but when we got to the end of the cove, we see a guy laying on the bank with a case of empties around him, and a dog licking his face. ;D We could have robbed that moron blind, and he wouldn't be none the wiser, we fed his dog a couple of sandwiches, and went on our way. About midnight, my buddy said he had a snag, then I hear his drag screaming, after a 45 minute battle on 8 lb. test with no leader, we netted a 38" muskie, it was his first. About 2 a.m., it went dead, I think we were the only boat on the lake, 20 minutes of silence was broken by this noise that sounded like a dying duck/elephant trumpet, then my buddy said,"Must have been that bean I ate." which ended up with me rolling on the deck for 10 minutes. I guess sometimes its not about the fish, but about the fishing.

I think we're related.

when i got my new project,(53' sears & robuck) I used jewler's rouge with a buffing wheel. If it's not too bad, fuel tank polish from truckstops works pretty well too.

I don't lose alot, in fact, I usually come home with more crap. When I finish an area, and I seen some hardware in the brush, I do a little "brush bustin". Had a friend tell me I need a cow catcher on the front of the boat. ;D

Sometimes when I get that "being watched" feeling, I see a school of bluegills following me...If they had teeth, they would be like piranha.lol

Why doesn't a wallet smell like butt? A pair of undies can go sour in a few hours, but my wallet has hung off of my hind end for years, and still smells like leather, what gives?

i'm a tundra man, beat the crap out of it drilling gas wells, still runs great.

When my ARMY unit disbanded, we needed a new title, we were tank mechanics, so I came up with Armorment Support Shop, and we always answered the phone as "@$$ shop, how can I help you?".

I'm just learning the way of the smallie, and I've been doing very well with white spinners, but I know it won't last long. I have an assortment of husky jerks, I've tried all of the colors I have, but the only thing I catch are walleye and pike. Are there any colors that stand out to bass?

The poor mans tip: Charcoal absorbs moisture, during storage, I keep a briquette in my box, also have a few in all of my gun cabinets. I run humidifiers all year, and haven't had a problem with rust.

you would be surprised, I'd guess 70% of incidents are from people 30 and over, I've done more than my fair share of "kids" stuff, but we never messed with anybody's property except our own.

I hate stupid people. I work at a lake in NC PA, and it never ceases to amaze me how people treat others for no reason, I work midnight to 8 a.m., part of my job is to patrol the project area, which is hard for 1 person. I make my way to the boat ramp, and there are 3 boats out, and I noticed red spots all over their vehicles, upon further investigation, they have all been shot with paintballs. > I left notes on all windsheilds to see whoever is on duty to get their information, and reported it to the sheriff. It burns my rear to think that the guys fishing didn't do anything to deserve it. Everybody here works hard to make this a nice place to bring you're family, and some morons think its cool to vandalize something nice. I don't mind picking up trash, infact, we save the cans to recycle and have our yearly cook out, but the theft and vandalism is stupid. Sorry for the long read, needed to vent.
