We miss ......

EZ going , not many left on the planet like him , of course we also miss eating chili dogs on the houseboat with him in between bouts of hammering slabs on the dock and playing out on the open water too .....
but in the end we REALLY just miss him and his wonderful attitude even when it isn't called for ....
So Merry Christmas to all and for sure EZ in a big way ....
eating chili dogs without ya just ain't the same for sure :banghead

rare stuff , got about 2 or 3 not counting my family and some of them are questionable as well ....:Rofl

Nice, Ketchn. And wow, those chilli dogs looked really good!

Good friends are a blessing

A good man is hard to find, and a good friend even harder. Always have the memories and they smiles they cause. Merry Christmas brother.

I think you should mail him some chili dogs….…:Rofl. It’s awesome what you guys created over there. Good friendship and food while slinging slabs! About as good as it gets. I have one really really good friend that I treasure.

:cheers2to good friends, even the questionable ones Merry Christmas Ketchn:Gift

Hard to beat a good chilli dog

Wish I had a good friend, I could count on, good friends are hard to come by, when you have moved around all your life chasing jobs and money to make a living.

Ketchn has exaggerated any good personality traits that I may have, which is a huge assumption on anybody's part that I have any. In fact, he has so blown them out of the water that I don't recognize who he is referencing. :Rofl

I will always miss the fishing trips with Ketchn and H and the good times we had. Even when the crappie was not cooperating we had a good time. Good friends are indeed hard to find.

I miss Ketchn's bluegill tacos even more than the chili dogs. He would filet enough small bluegills (50-60) to make enough tacos for 4-5 of us. And they were delicious. Now that is true friendship! Chili dogs are easy to make, it takes hard work to make bluegill tacos. And yes, he really can filet 3-4 inch bluegill. :HandsClapping

But Ketchen, I have hopes that you and the family can make it up here for a vacation this coming year. The crappie machine will be ready to go when you arrive and I may even know where to find a few by then. :Rofl

Hope you can make it. You have a place to stay if you and the family come this way. While I will not try to guarantee you catching trips I will guarantee you some fishing trips. But given your fishing abilities you probably won't have any problem catching. And we can play with the underwater camera I bought for these clear waters. :Rofl


I changed my ride last week. Traded the pickup in for a Corolla Hybrid. Took a beating on the trade-in as big pickups are not as popular here as they are in Texas. But the pickup was too big for the narrow city streets here and I did not appreciate the gas mileage when I was paying 5 bucks a gallon for gas. The Corolla is small enough for the streets and at 55-60 miles per galleon I can live with the gas prices.

But I will admit I miss driving that pickup truck. Small sedans are not the same. :Rofl

get in my wifes Honda Fit and you will swear you are in a fancy golf cart / go cart ....just saying
but it sure spanks my truck at twice to three times the gas mileage ....:banghead

the Corolla rides ok for a small sedan but it is a small sedan, not a large pickup. As to gas mileage my 150 got 17-20 miles per galleon around town, the hybrid gets 55-60 mpg around town. The only thing I will say about my 150 pulling my pontoon up here was it had a hard time passing gas stations. :Rofl

Haven't tried the Corolla on a trip yet but I'm told it only gets around 50 mpg on trips where you are driving long distances. But in town it gets 3 times the gas mileage my 150 got and only costs $60 to fill the tank instead of the $125 the 150 cost. And doesn't need fill-ups near as often. So I will accept the small car ride, as much as I liked my 150. :biggrin

My old neighbor had a 150. I asked him once how he liked the power and he did and went on to state it could pass anything but a gas station. $5 gas with a PU truck hurts for sure!

much like my truck , at 250,000 miles she will still flat out hurt your neck if you punch it from go , but to be sure she gets thirsty if you run her that way :Rofl
