Pat, welcome to my world buddy.  I sold my yacht last month and plan to go smaller at the boat show next year.  It was becoming more and more difficult to handle the ThunderJet solo.  Looking at buying a Lund 1675 Adventure Sport.  And hey, there will always be room on it for you younger folks to tag along.

As to being bionic, I had both rotator cuffs repaired (2010; Rt & 2011; Lt), a total knee replacement (2015), and a CABG X 5 (2023).

I'll be getting a total shoulder replacement (Rt) on February 5, 2025 so the coming ice season will be shorter for me.

I am leaning towards doing less duck hunting.  The marsh mud is getting harder to negotiate without a dog to retrieve my birds.

Ice fishing is still doable with the help of my snowdog, but walk on trips are definitely not an option anymore.  When the duck hunting and ice fishing lose their appeal, I'll become a snowbird and spends winters in the deep south - Arizona, Texas, and Florida seem about right.

PS: I PROMISE to never leave you standing on the ramp - again!  ?
