Random posts and thoughts...

I am so forgetful I always put my plug on trailer hitch, at the lock so far I haven't forgot it yet. Almost lost my i-pilot remote left it on the bumper.

As far as drain plugs go? The first time we used our boat we found out it came without a plug. Had went and parked the truck and was backing away from the dock when Sandy said-Where's all this water coming from? I knew right away and headed for the dock. Got out of the boat and jogged to the truck, got the trailer in the water, got the boat on it, but it was almost too close to bottom to get the trailer under it. We got the boat out, and soon had a plug for it. Think I've forgotten it a couple other times.

I make those lanyards up from time to time. They are fun to do when I have free time. I've taught a ton of people how to make them too. Glad to show you how to make them sometime. Kids love doing it. I also make some pretty cool weaved gun slings.

Being in the Marines, I had access to tons and tons of 550 paracord. We used to sit around in the field and have "arts and crafts" time. Should have seen some of the stuff that was weaved, tied, or whittled out of wood!

Rich, thanks for mine, I got it in the boat already.

The little explorer I drove up to Crappie Camp wasn't up to the task of pulling the new boat. So I found this beauty on Craigslist cheap...

Well we didn't sink it. Everything worked as it should. Motor runs great. Trolling motor worked good. Even the old fish finder marked fish for us.

Top speed on the boat was 24mph with two of us in it. Then my old man got out and top speed was 30:Rofl
So note to self... If I need to win a boat race, leave the old man on shore:biggrin

LOL
