That's It! I'm Taking It In!
It's actually funny that not many people know about those hose repair parts. My next door neighbor is in his late 40's and has been in construction since he got out of the marine corp. He was p.o'd that his hose was leaking and I happened to have an extra part. Put it in and he was amazed. "Where did you get that?" he asks. $20 for flex tape...he was about 75% there for a new hose!

Daytona 500
NASCAR was really never popular here. It had a blip when Gordon was racing, but it quickly fell off the radar. If you want to find it, it's up on the upper end of the cable channels along with channels you hide from your kids.

Big bite baits hula grub...
I actually like Big Bite Baits. I haven't fished the hula grub, although, at one point in my fishing career I had a hula grub always tied on. At $2.60/10 ct, how can you go wrong?

Your Moron Moments
I've told this one before, but I was fishing a topwater on a bank adjacent to the road. On my back cast one of the trebles caught the side mirror of a passing F150...I was instantly spooled.

I'm pretty good with electric issues, but don't ask me 1 single question about engine issues. Anything fossil fuel propelled and I'm a Schultz..."I KNOW NOTHING"...or...

Ready for Bucktail Jigging
Thanks Jig Man, really appreciate it. A portion of those jigs will go to a neighbor who helps me launch my boat at the beginning of the season and helps me pull it out. Another portion will go to another neighbor who I go fishing with from time to time on his boat. He has a bigger boat and we're able to get to some spots where mine can't go due to gas capacity (saltwater fishing). I'm sure next fall I'll be purchasing some more unpainted jig heads.

Worrying about a dead starting battery?
I read it quickly, but I think it meant jumping lead acid batteries only. It comes with a usb attachment and you can use it to charge you cell phone, iPad and such. I’m pretty sure my cell phone battery isn’t made with lead acid. I could be wrong, just ask my kids and wife.

Worrying about a dead starting battery?
I read the owner's manual earlier on it and it said to use only on lead acid batteries.

Blue Saphire
Pink is an awesome color, why not blue? Besides: Starting from the top and going clockwise: 1. Blue as we see it out of water. 2. Blue in blue water. 3. Blue in green water. 4. Blue in brown/red water. It's a color that just shows up.

Ice Fishing Otter
Ain't gonna lie, that would have scared me as well. Truth be told, I'm not sure how I would have dealt with the otter...

Conundrum: keep a secret place to myself?
Boat or land I will point to a general direction to adults as to where I fish. Kids, I’ll give them the exact location and will give them a couple of soft plastics and hooks I used to catch fish.

Worrying about a dead starting battery?
Thanks guys. I’m not much of a gear head, pretty much just a construction guy.

I was just reading the owner's manual on it...actually the GB40...and it said to use only on lead acid batteries.

Worrying about a dead starting battery?
Thanks MN. I had a feeling you knew this. @A-Jay, outta the park again, I wanted one last year for the boat and will be getting one this year. Thanks guys.

Ice Fishing Otter
Good question, I would imagine the the hook would eventually rust out.

Worrying about a dead starting battery?
Probably a stupid question but, does this work for lead acid batteries as well as AGM? Does it even matter?

Winter 2021/22
We've been in this wierd pattern of 60* (record for February for us) followed by overnight lows in the teens. The cold aire from the mid-west has made it's way over and we'll get snow squalls all day. It's only amounting to a dusting, but sheesh, let's just dive into spring.
