  1. Are you by chance Canadian?
  2. Seems like it isn’t uncommon for high draft picks to skip the pre draft program. Sucks for him, if he doesn’t sign I assume he is heading back to Vandy as the other options suck. It seems they should basically relegate them to free agents if the team does not sign them at slot value. He’s asking for over slot, but if they offered slot and he didn’t take it then it’s on him. If they never offered slot, then he should have better options available.
  3. A lot of it is probably related to where you ride. I spend most of my time on a smaller lake where most everyone that is out has a house on it. There are always outside people at the beach, but it’s just never come up. For the last 15 years I’ve had kids with me 99% of the time and prior to that we usually always had 5-6 other people always with us, so it’s not like I’ve been looking. I’ve also always been the one with the boat outside of last summer, so I haven’t been looking for rides either. Another thing to add to the list of shit I’ve missed out on since I got married and had kids earlier than most everyone else. Ready to get back out and see if I can get the boat turned over to double digit hours. It has done way too much sitting this summer.
  4. You’re going right through the middle of fuck everybody land. FL has been slam packed all summer. We’ve been at our place since school let out and I’ve never seen so many people down this far. It also hasn’t been the usual crowd we normally deal with, it’s been a little more rough around the edges.
  5. I know I’ve said it before, but these are just things that would have never occurred to me in life. Catching a ride on someone’s boat or taking on a boat full are things I have never thought about on the water. I’m going to have to keep my eyes open for selective additions now that I know it’s a thing and my kids are at the ages they aren’t always with us on the water any more. I’ve seen some random ass people show up at the lake house wanting to go out, but they have always been attached to someone I knew.
  6. Just booked fall break at DLR, luckily the weather should be good so we’ll survive.
  7. Agreed on Great Southern, really all of the places in Seaside are decent including the food trucks. That place will be an epic clusterfuck of teenagers next week with school getting ready to start back up.
  8. Took my kids (15/12) this afternoon to get round 1, so they can get round 2 right before school starts up. We would have done it sooner, but we’ve been out of town. The doctors I work with all have vaccinated their kids, so we didn’t think much about it and just scheduled it. It helped that both kids had done their own reading and wanted to get the shots even though we live in an area where they are in the vast minority in their age group. I think some of the bs they read online about fertility issues and other things definitely concerned them, but they were smart enough not to get caught up in it. My mother expressed her displeasure with it and my oldest basically told her that it was her decision and she didn’t need her approval. The fucking nutjobs are going to be the end of all of us.
  9. Pretty sure I can get you more information on it if interested. My plane, pilots, and management company are based there and may actually have this one brokered. If not, the main guy will likely know it as he manages quite a few planes based there. We’re looking at moving up the time line on getting a CJ. The Baron works great for short hops with 1-2 people, but longer flights or more people make it a lot less comfortable. I think we may end up trying to partner on a group of 2-3 planes that each owner can then use the plane that works best for the trip.
  10. F this season, Turner and Yelich hitting the COVID list on the same day is great. I can’t even field a complete team again with the other IL’s and DTD’s. Injuries have been a bitch this year.
  11. To be fair I saw one this afternoon when we were crossing the bridge out to where our house is. It was hauling ass down the ICW with a full load of people and looked like a nice ride. I was expecting a couple hundred thousand considering there are $90k in Yamahas on the back of it, but $300k for a 2 year old one with 150 hours on it just seems like a lot.
  12. For anyone looking to drop $300k on a used pontoon, here is your boat. https://www.marinamikes.com/inv/2019-Bennington-30-QSRFBWAX2-LMM-N45526A/
  13. Ended up going with the blue face over the silver.
  14. The mutt doing his favorite thing. I think he would be content just sitting in a car all day every day.
  15. Gotcha, the last one went really well for a while although both are back on track now it looks like. Cole had to remember how to pitch without the sticky stuff
  16. Something I haven’t figured out how to do that I need to work on. I get away plenty, but I still end up working most of it just not sitting in the office. Getting a couple hours in fishing several afternoons a week is a positive right now, but I keep telling myself I’m going to put in some full days and just don’t do it.
  17. The last offer was a shit show? I offered up the higher rated player by any service you look at and a need based on your numbers, so I’m not sure how that is the case.
  18. This, bonefish can be found in a number of places. GT’s are what you are looking for where you are going. I watched a special somewhere with some guys that were big time GT guys and it was pretty amazing. I wish I could remember where I saw it.
  19. You have to find the right one. The guy that I fish with occasionally is great. He owns a bait and tackle place which I frequent, but I think that lends itself to having a different attitude also. When I bought my fly rod from him, he got someone else to cover the counter and went out back to show me how to cast. Same when I bought cast nets for the first time. He’s always seems to be more about being on the water and teaching than treating it as a job. There are several others in the area that are similar.
  20. Older hulls need weight and usually a lot of it. Ballast front, center, back corners, and a lot of additional weight on the corner you are going to ride off of. Then have everyone sit on the rider side around the back also. They have detachable wedges and other things that are also supposed to help, but weight and getting the back corner as low as possible will generally get a nice wave. In my older boats it would take as much as 3000+ pounds of ballast plus people to get a good wave. They just don’t have the shape, size, or mechanical gizmos to get there without it. Even on the brand new one, it’s going to take another 600-1000 pound bag in the back corner to get a great wave I think.
  21. Does your boat have a disconnect? If not, I would look to get one installed. Batteries should not run down that fast unless they are crap or you have power drawing from somewhere. You can put an isolator/disconnect on the boat where you can turn the power completely off or isolate to using battery 1 or 2 or both when you are running. Just make sure if it’s going to be left in the water or uncovered the bilge is wired hot so it will pump water out when needed. If it is going to sit a while, put a battery tender in it but that should be unnecessary unless you are getting into the weeks. Every boat is different on surfing/boarding and then it also changes with weight. You’ll find the sweet spot for speed with practice, but I would also find someone you can go out with to walk through everything. It’s a constant learning process. I haven’t pulled a new boarder in a long time. My youngest decided to try it again and we couldn’t get her up. I finally figured out I needed to come out of the hole slowly, let her stand, and then go. She couldn’t hold the rope and drag at all, but it was completely different than everyone else that rides.
  22. A steaming pile of shit is what tomorrow brings. Too much wind, too much seaweed, no fish anywhere to be found. Going to try some backwater areas later this afternoon and see if the baitfish have moved into more protected areas.
  23. I prefer the more laid back lifestyle on the west coast of FL. The whole Miami scene isn’t my idea of fun, but the boats and the beach scenery make it worth the visits. You’ll see the occasional big boat pass through the ICW on this side, but it’s just a different world two hours across the Everglades.
  24. I was a lot more serious years ago and have done my fair share of replacements on vehicles and still have the equipment. We’ll see where it goes.
