   I'm too old to be taken advantage of by lovely ladies, So I will presume all the spirits are just so they can laugh at me...    I'm good with that! Should be a lot of laughs!  Ted, I get to preview the vids before they hit YouTube!

Before youtube, maybe.

Before the forum, NO, NO, NEVER!!!

Update.

   The ol riverrat has been revitalized.

   50 HP 4 cycle Suzuki motor. Brand new, dunno if that was on there when I posted this thread.

   First day it is supposed to be over 60 degrees and not raining were headed to the Mississippi River.
  The new grille is on it's way. Once that is secured to the new rear deck it will be complete. Fold out chair in place, my sleeping bag is in the storage compartment. Me and Knitro the bee dog will be FISHIN for days at a time!

   Anyone who wants to take a fishin trip is welcome. I have ONE spare bed and a couch, oh, and a roll up queen size foam pad for emergencies.
   Cig lighter and 1000 watt inverter to charge phone, plug in laptop etc, etc..  I can't wait to break my current record.  62 3/4 lb Flathead. Looking for 80 plus pounders this summer!

   Hope you're ready to go fishin Ted!

scott, that's pretty sweet!

Nice looking set up ..........Looks like you are going to have a great summer!  Have fun and be safe!

[tedh]

Count me in Bro!  I'll leave Helene here as she's one of those fishermen that messes about chattering constantly and annoying you, all while catching more and bigger fish!  She's freaky that way.  And we both know THAT'S no way to live.  Ted

I thought this thread was going to be about our Riverrat.  I wondered what he was up to.
Well, Scott.  That looks like a whole lotta fun!  Wear your sunscreen.

Ayup my friend Ted... I know exactly what you are talking about! My wife is the same way...  She even makes up new rules, like, if I am a fish behind her, and catch a SMALL fish, it only counts as HALF a fish...
  WHAT? HALF? It isn't HALF! It is a WHOLE fish!
   However, when SHE catches a minnow it counts as a whole fish...   31 years into this marriage and I still haven't figured out the rules of engagement.

Where's the head on that thing?

seriously funny, loved reading the comments about the wives, bakersD tellin' ya to wear sunscreen, perry's comment about where the head was on that thing....
BUT most of all THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT.........

i'm a wife, i don't chatter....he chatters, i fish, and he annoys me when he chatters and yaks at me about putting sunscreen on my schnoz..... we both catch some pretty good fish, sometimes mine are bigger...sometimes i lollygag and look at the scenery and the guide says FISH ON!.......by then it's too late......i get teased about it. i start making marks in the boat for all the fish i missed lollygagging, being quiet and not chattering, and dabbing my nose with sunscreen.............

and btw scott, our rules of engagement change frequently..........

[LazyBkpr]

heh I noticed. Sometimes not knowing the rules lets me be sneaky... but not often.

   I do plan to come up that way this summer and see you and Zweef. So be ready...   You are welcome to come down anytime too, it isn't THAT long of a drive!
   Ted! I am going to be putting in at Toolsboro, so i have to drive right past your house to get there, Go get your fishin license and stand ready bro!
