The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Gas prices will affect my Chrismas season, but my fishing and hunting seasons will go as planned.

I am 95% a boat fisherman. This season I find myself doing fewer trips, and watching the tides and weather for the absolute best conditions. If its iffy, and I think I have a slim shot at catching fish I stay home.
I have also slowed down in the truch driving to and from and in the boat. I try to run at the most economical speed in my boat averaging 3NMPG. I am only doing 22knots, but I still get to the fishing grounds and the tank lasts a little longer.
I have been keeping my boat on the trailer down near the State ramp to save some money over slip fees for a few years. I think this year a slip would have been cheaper because I could drive an economy car to and from the slip, and just bring the truck down to haul for street gas. Oh well, maybe next year she'll be in a slip.

Cost me $260 in gas to make the trek to BI.Thats only using a 1/2 tank on the 7 mile long island.It's ok I saved for it.Instead of driving around looking for tackle shops. I look at gas prices.
Now my 3-4 day trips to RI are gonna be tough to rationalize. It's gonna cost roughly the same amount.I already camp out of my van an shower in the sink at the dunkin donuts.How much more money can I save.

I just told my wife that I am done fishing until Sepember unless I car pool with another fisherman.
I guess I can save the cash and tear it up in Sept, Oct and Nov.
