God spelled backwards. Dog

Had that boat and liked it. Top speed about 35mph. Think the TM was 55 lbs. Was marginal to control in windy conditions. Dont remember if there was space for another battery. Almost always windy here.

Love the everything else forum. The humor, concern for members that are experiencing issues in their life. There are many caring people on this site and I am impressed with with so many of yall.

Caught trout on flatfish. Never a bass. Would weight them with a light split shot and fish them deep in mountain lakes dragging on the bottom.

76 yoa and fish private lakes almost exclusively. Most have no ramps. Fourteen foot fiberglass jon boat with electric motor, battery and equipment. Tilt trailer and replaced bunks with rollers. Also have an electric winch. Back the back wheels to edge of water. push boat out until trailer begins to tilt. Boat slides into water. Load the same way. The bow of the boat causes the trailer to tilt allowing the boat to be pulled on the trailer. The rollers make it easy to load the boat. Works great. I also have 4 wheel drive truck which is a big help. It does make launching at regular ramps slower because you must keep tension on the wench to keep the boat from sliding too fast into the water.

Back in the 70's I fished with a 5 foot 6 inch heddon fiberglass rod. I could sense often when a bass would inhale a lure. Broke my heart when it broke. I have much more expensive rods now, but most don'd compare to the feel I had with that rod. Maybe its the feel of the rod and reel in your hand and how it transmits to your brain that is important. Caught hundreds of fish with that rod😪

They still have a website that looks active.

Feed birds and squirrels every day and have for many years. Had a hurricane that effected our weather and they all left for quite a while. Back stronger than ever now.

Love the rollouts.

76 yoa and have spent a lot of time outside. Have had several spots removed on my head and arms. Always cover up all year and visit the dermatologist twice a year. Be safe,

Glad it turned out well. The signs for heart attacks for women is often different for women than men. One is aching shoulders . My wife had a heart attack 4 years ago and her shoulders hurt. Thankfully she had a friend who was a spokesperson for National heart association and had told her what the symptoms were. We were at a restaurant and she told me she was having a heart attack. She is doing well. Prayers for yall.

enjoyed your article. Made me think of great trips trout fishing in the Siera Navada Mountains when I was younger and camping by the beautiful streams and lakes there. Thank you

Great

Have 2 heavy ethos. good rods

Best wishes

Good for ou. I took Dolly to the vet hospital at Texas A&M and they did a spinal tap, Mri and other tests. Determined it was Epilipsy . Never did figure out what triggered it. Dogs are so special. spelled backwards GOD. Good luck.?

I can feel your pain. My last dog Dolly suffered from seizures for about 3 years. Watched her go from hyper to barely moving. Was giving meds 3 times per day and seizures just got worse.. Hope your dog recovers soon.

Thank you all for the responses
