Man......seeing that youngster in the boat just takes me back to a really good time. That was around 2006-2008ish time frame........we had a really fun group on this forum, all revolving around Shoer, Panman, Dayton himself, the gruff feller that lived over in New Kent slabenomics or something like that.....Dayton's friend (big dude, can't remember his name to save my life...think his user name was named after the type of aluminum boat he had)........we had George (Tapout) on the forum telling us his adventures on Western Branch and Lake Prince.....Corker posting about Pickett, pulling his jonboat with a minivan and wearing a conductor's cap...


Them were the days. They go quick don't they Dayton?

I gotta a funny story that I think about when I think about your son....it wasn't funny at the time but in hindsight we can laugh about it. Remember Shoer had fallen on bad times, he let his demons take over and he just wasn't the sweet hearted do-anything-for-ya kinda guy that we'd come to know. Well, it was right in all the midst of that drama that he posted something ugly toward you Dayton and like I said, it wasn't funny at the time, it was more heartbreaking to see him like this.....but he posted something trying to jab or hurt you and it was along the lines of "that bratty kid laying in the floor board of the boat waddling around because he was bored and couldn't sit still"...

To this day I remember that line and I get the mental image of a perfectly normal thing for a young kid to do when they're bored out on a boat and just wanna go home. Heck I probably did that as a kid too a time or two to my old man. That's just being a kid! But like I said, I know he was saying it out of mean-spirit and it was the alcohol talking not really him.....but to this day, what ....10 years later that still cracks me up to think of him saying that.
