You always know he's gonna hook up the big one when you hear
the narrator say, "Vlad makes his LAST cast of the day".
When you've seen 1 big ugly fish, you've pretty much seen them all.

Here's the truck:
2001 F-250 - 160,000 miles
5.4L V8
4.10 Rear End
Automatic Transmission
Round trip from North of Boston to Long Island, NY.
Total miles Round trip using Odometer - 534
Total miles Round trip using Google maps - 532
Filled tank prior to leaving, refill in NY (17.2 gal.), and
upon return at original gas station (15.4 gal.)
Total miles (534)/Total gas used (32.6 gals.) = 16.38mpg.
Now here's the wierd thing. On the way down I kept the speed
at 70-75mph and burned 17.2 gals. for 15.5mpg. On the way back I
was in a hurry and did 80+ most of the way and only burned
15.4 gals. for 17.3mpg.
The faster I drive, the better MPG I get. What would my MPG be if
I did 120? And more importantly, is saving the planet a valid defense
for a Reckless Driving Arrest?

If she's not a total mutt, why don't you bang her and then beat
the snot out of him? Shut them both up.

A 17' Corson w/ a Merc. I'm thinking 50/60 HP.
What a POS that boat was. But it was mine and I loved it.

If you want turkeys, go to Fairfield Univ. in Conn. The place
is friggin swarming with them. They attack students, cars,
and anything else that moves. My daughter says they roost
up in the trees at night and look like vultures waiting to pounce.

I started doing my own last Fall. The boat/motor are 2000's
and I figure I can't do any worse than the mechanics. Spent
the $$$ on the manual and a torque wrench. I'm sure it takes
me longer than it should, but it's a TON cheaper and I know it's
getting done, and done right. In the past, I've had my doubts.

Just paid $17 to have a 20 gal. grill tank filled.

They're in!!
Don't forget to pick up a season pass if you like to get on the water
early in the AM. They don't start taking money at the gate until
7 or 8AM. On the weekends, you'll have a hard time finding a parking
spot by then.

How much is a 50 game suspension going to cost that dumb ass? He already had his money made. No reason to juice up.
Barry
It's going to cost him 7 million $$$ out of his $25 Million/year. Is that
sick?? What does that work out to - $140,000 per game?

On Mothers Day, in honor of the mother of the octuplets, Denny’s is offering a new
breakfast meal: The Octo-Slam.
You get fourteen eggs, no sausage, and the guy next to you has to pay the bill.
-
I get nothing out of this. Just trying to share some good eats since beer boats nd brats seem to go together.
And I asked permission before posting.
Just yanking your sausage...."SPAM...MEAT...."
Thought a Monty Python SPAM fest might ensue...
Trust me, I coulda made it funny with the right props.
-
There's never a "SPAM" emoticon around when you need one.

Just another overpaid putz.

I think maybe we're on to something....How do you think the pirates would react when they are climbing their rope ladders on to a merchant ship and a hovercraft brimming with pissed off US Marines pulls alongside? I'd love to see that!
Put a light carrier loaded with Predators armed with Hellfire missles off the coast
and let our boys play video games. Let a few get back to their home port or mother
ship, and as soon as they toss the dock line, light em up. How hard can it be to
distinguish a legitimate fishing boat from one loaded with armed thugs?
-
Funny in Blazing Saddles too...RIP
Didn't he do a routine where he played a bumbling magician named
"Dominic the Great"? He's say "Save the applause for the end" throughout
the routine. I guess it's finally time to applaud. Nice guy...Funny stuff.
-
CJ you old fart.
Happy birfday
Yes, I am.
Thanks Guys.
-
Just out of curiosity, what makes a Haddock a "Bull"?
-
#2 by far. The first is way too busy. All of those fish are too distracting.
-
Please don't hurt the cat, he doesn't think he is doing anything wrong
The FRP does NOT involve causing any injury, it merely tests the survival
skills of the feline in question after being released in a suitable location.

Just unwrapped the boat to get it ready. Once again, I busted my ass
in the Fall cleaning prior to shrink wrap so I wouldn't have to spend
hours scrubbing in the Spring...and once again it's covered in muddy
cat prints. The culprit lives next door. I spoke to the neighbors in the
Fall in the hopes they would control or contain their pet, since this
happened last year as well. I even mentioned it over the Winter, as
I had seen the little ###### prowling around. Obviously they are unable
or unwilling to do what it takes to respect my property. So the FRP
(Feline Relocation Program) goes into effect this evening.
Thanks for listening.

It's been a hell of a start to the boating season.
I count 10 dead just off of the top of my head. And
I think they've all been in Florida. I realize you guys
do a lot more boating down there than those of us in
the North, but this is nuts.

I guess I don't understand how you could hire someone
to do major work for major money and not trust them to
do the job right. To the point where you pay someone else
to keep an eye on them? When do you hire someone to watch
the guy you hired to watch the guy who's doing the actual work?
Sound like a public works project.
I've been using the same contractor (2 Guys) for about 10
years. 1 addition, 2 bathroom remodels, a few small "odd"
jobs and now major repair due to ice storm damage from
December. Probably $100K over the years. We've established
a few rules and have never had ANY problems. Written and signed
estimates and contracts. Any changes due to unforeseen issues that
will add cost or change appearance are discussed. Communicate regularly.
If they're not going to show up as planned, I get a call. Mostly common
sense and courtesty, in both directions.
My buddy can't wait to go fishing again
