One of the other things in life I love besides chasing striped bass is gas powered machinery of any kind!!

Last night on a trip to the adult toy store called "Home Depot" I purchased a shiny new 200MPH Gas operated blower!! Bring on those leaves this fall! No more rakes for this boy! Those oak trees wont know what hit them!! This is something Im sure as a soon to be new home owner you will eventualy purchase!! Forget about borrowing mine! Im going to have to much fun with it!! Heck, I can create my own sou-west winds with this 2 stroke behemouth!!

Now, if they would only come out with a V8 Powered weed whacker!! That would make my day! Im also thinking of instaling a turbo charger on my lawn boy!! I just love yard work and all the fun toys that go with it!!

#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&, brother Bill still has that 350 TPI Corvette motor in my mom's garage, I'm sure we can get that lawnmower moving just fine with a normaly aspirated mouse motor <img src="/Images/biggrin.gif"><!--e7-->...

There are those who would question why you need a machine at all to blow air. Just kidding, #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&. I'm just upset about missing my first Friday all season in Maine. I couldn't bring myself to drive up there last night with the weather looking so bad. I'll be up tonight, however and fish the incoming tomorrow and Sunday. I figure I have only this and the next two weekends left up there. How depressing.

Marty, you can still dance with the big girls for a few weeks when you get back <img src="/Images/biggrin.gif"><!--e7-->, I've had numerous fish in the twenties and at least one at 30 pounds (several real close) in the pass couple months around here <img src="/Images/biggrin.gif"><!--e7-->... No monsters but certainly sweet fishing!!!

I hope to. I'd like nothing better to spend a weekend day with you and Fisherwoman. Who knows, you may convert me from being a bait slinger.
