If nothing else comes out of this internet soap-box-opera thingy, I gotta thank the Lord for one thing...The friends I've made online. I'm very lucky to have made a few
good friends thru this machine, something I laughed about years ago. This morning - in a spare of the moment kinda-way....I met up with Clamdigger. We talked on the phone early in the am and I was supposed to meet up with him somewhere on his block,....due to the problems with my boat, I had to back-out. So what happens next, he comes over to my neighborhood and hangs out with me and my sick boat, What a guy!!
Clam, as always...it was great to see you again. Thanks for swinging on by buddy- Had we not met on here, we would have passed each other all day long out there and never said a peep to one another.

I gotta laugh about this now---after you left me clam, we fished the point after the dock and skipped back and forth across the high-way - - -- my cousin wanted to chase birds, so I obliged. What was under the birds?
BLOOOOS of course...freakin' things were everywhere -- --we played them a little while and started heading back. Didn't get far before the leg that was just rebuilt started making noise (
vibrating) that I could feel under my feet at the wheel, I thought I hit
another rock
...I wasn't too happy so I slowed her down and slowly made my way. What happens next?...we run into a school of bass working bait...I put her in neutral and we start fishing...and thats' all she wrote. She stalled on me, and never started again.
After pulling what little hair I have left on my head, I had to laugh....what else can ya do??...Ended up getting a tow from another friend A-L-L the W-A-Y back to the mooring. What a freeeeekN' day
...anywayz - ---I'd like to dedicate this thread to a few people I've spent some quality time with that I've met online. I've made some memorable moments with a few of you...Goose/Tattoo/the CuttyCrew...and a few others, you know who you are. God Bless you all.....whether you Believe in Him or not.
Is there anyone you've met online, that you've been thankful for? Why not mention it to him/her. It could make their day......Clam, you made mine.

"hey Clam, what if you hit that rock??...
......
"ya bounce right off it Bloo"....
I gotta lotta learning to do. ...what do I need a depth finder for? or charts? I'm a greenhorn with 2 back-up containers of gas and my fishing pole. No-one told me I'd needed more than that...
Good Friends
...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
--- might head towards your block - - -- this boat doesn't have to cool down every 6 minutes- - little smaller too.....to fit in those tight places you like to stick yourself into
