Plus I never got paid half the time. Only worked there one summer.

 Least last yr. they put buoy markers in so the boats can't to close. Guess the shore guys were getting into it with the boaters  smh Watched 'em a couple times just to get out ov the house. Those guys get into it even make planks to stand on that fit in the rocks or somethin' like that. Once the carp show up it's the bow guys turn.
 
 Dan, us Yankees head south if a boat is for sale. 3rd dang boat my sons bought in 4 months. Couple back trollers  son said he had to have for tournaments, WTF??? Yard looks like crap. Dang just brought 47 rod/reel combos from his brothers room upstairs, he couldn't get in the dressers/chests. Now he called & said he is bringing over 100 lbs. ov plastics/frogs & so forth plus a pile ov Lucky Strikes more combos,nets & forget what else he just bought. Just cleaned off the pool table & some goofy liquid crap leaked on the custom cover & bubbled it somewhat.  He don't even live here!!
 
 Sorry for the rant but I HATE WINTER!!
 
crappy

Crappie there's a program on TLC that uses 'Organization Specialist' providing advice, on how to deal with those feelings about winter.  Then again, maybe it's just Cabin Fever???
 
Grab one them rods and head for the crik.

Crappie, sounds like fish gear hording fever ....better get him some help fast....lol

 Have'n fun frame'n, wirein', dry wallin', screwin', muddin', tapein', cuttin', hammerin' & vacumin' today for a launderin' room so when a nice break in the weather I can go to camp to do some remodelin'. 
 
 BTDT, Easy for u to say when your on tour down south!!
 
 Least I wised up today when son tried to unload his crap here. Only let him bring 3 loads in & said the rest is not coming here. He tried pulling one over on me saying these plugs go for $25 up over $100 each like Repo Man. Told him looks like regular Bass plugs to me & fishermen can't be that stupid to spend that kind ov money on a darn Bass plug!! 
 
 Plan on headin' to camp Friday & stay awhile & hope the Geese ain't as bad as last week.
 
crappy
 
 

  This only part ov what I would not let him unload today. He sent me some photos from his hotel room with his girl..❤ He is supposed to be with his girl for a late Valentines day & spending it going through his fishin' crap while she sits there.  

Capt. I think you might be right and it looks serious too.

Crappie, I've had my share of wiring, drywallin, muddin, and all that other stuff that goes with owning a nice home.

This past summer my wife and I looked and looked aaaaand looked again, at homes for sale and I walked right out of every one that needed any type of work. Some real dumps for sale at unbelievable prices (stupid realtors).

So we said screw it and now will be turning to searching for land. (half to 1 acre) where I shall point to a spot and tell a builder... build. Whereas my tired old asz will sit in my "mancave on wheels" and watch. Alllllthough, should the right home come up for sale at the right price.... sold!!!

Then, I may be in the market for more fishing gear, of which I do not need, but what the hell. Maybe I can load it up in the fall and have a yard sale on the beach.

Meanwhile I enjoyed some fond memories at dinner tonight. Nothing like Penn's Woods Crappie.

 Hope you find a place. Was at Home Depot couple days ago & materials went way up since Autumn. Glad for Market Place & CL. I like doing the work, that way nobodies fault but mine. What gets me is I went on a Salmon Trip a while back & when I was gone the ole lady had a closet built where I wanted to put the laundry room, next to a bathroom. So just double work ripping it all out. Wish I was younger with the tools they have out now to work with. So much easier/faster today.
 
 I just got done doing a google search on some ov the lures he brought back today & fishermen must be one ov the stupidest
 people out there if they pay well over a hundred bucks for bass plugs. He sent me 'bout 8 more photos ov crap. Think the lead melting is getting to his brain or somethin'??
 
 Good Luck & Have Fun!

I've seen prices of some lures in magazines ..crazy ! ....I personally would never spend over 10 bucks for a lure. I can't imagine tossing out a 25 dollar plug and snagging it up. ...time to go swimming ....lol
Besides that I've caught too many nice fish on the basic all round stick baits and spinners ....and good old crawler & minnows !!!!  After awhile we all end up with so much gear you never use about 60% of it....but I guess you got it just in case.....lol

Capt. a guy has to have "braggin rights". What's in your... tackle box" lol

Crappie I appreciate the well wishes on finding a new residence. I'm hoping it's in a good location to hold yard sales. Older home or new build, regardless, there will be hand tools from hammers to drywall along with power tools, from saws to nailers, for framing to finish. Also electricians to plumbers but there won't be no masonry or roofing tools. Playing with shingles and concrete is way tooo much work.

Good luck with your renovations, no better feeling when stepping back and seeing your accomplishments.

Ummmm, except when you find out, you have one more tackle box than your buddy.

Take care and don't hit your thumb.👍
