Hey Slimey, how was your weekend?
So Friday night, I had to go to the Football game. By the time I got all the kids where they’re supposed to be, it was 10:00 before I hit my drive. No problem, the oldest is at 5th quarter, so I’ve got till Midnight to pull the FF’s off my boat. Went off without a hitch and I even pre-crimped new connectors for the new ones.
Saturday 4:30 wakeup hits me hard, but luckily Feelay’s a tad late and I’m there ahead of him. Load up with ice and minnows and splash the boats and hit the water. ‘Twas a fine day to be out too. The only hitch was that every time we’d roll on a spot and lift a couple of fish, Feelay would make me move. By lunch we had only about 8 in the box between the two of us. To salve my wounds, Feelay says he’ll buy my lunch at 333, so I’m feeling better about it though. He failed to mention I’d have to install the FFs on his boat before he’d let me eat. That went OK as well too, although it’s a lot hotter than I’d realized standing in the parking lot. Lucky for me, I brought my own tools so I managed to mount ‘em both without using a single roofing tack.
Head back out and put maybe another 12 in the livewells. I think Feelay got distracted fiddling with his finders to realize I was catching up. Final count was Feelay 16, Wannabe 4. A banner day!
Tired, wore out and late, I hooked the battery to the charger, iced the fish and called it a day.
Sunday we hit church, did lunch and now I’m ready to finish the install. Grab my HDS7, head out to the shop, grab all my tools, open the box…………………………………………….. I came too about 18 minutes later I think.
So, to recap, I’ve got $1400 from Feelay less about $50 in Paypal fees, no fishfinders for the Big Mama tournament unless you count the brick in the box but that assumes I can find a string to use with it. ‘Course, I’ve got the HD10 on the way, along with the whippin’ I’m gonna take when she finds out about it. How stewpit do you think it’d be to have an HDS10 with LSS1 at the console and a 80 pixel count Garmin on the front? He did kick in a used bandit, so I guess it’s not all a complete waste.
Gotta tell you though, I was pretty Po’d Sunday PM. Made a bond fire and burned the brick, the bandit and the box. Slimey, you are The Ultimate Gewber.
Wannabe…
