Dude! I didnt know that SWAMP YANKEE comes with shade!
I would have never recognized the vessel.
Ok, I would have. You cant miss the original styling of the hull on that thing.
Anyways, I was out there today. And I learned something.
I am getting old. The older I get, the more I calm down too.
Its been a couple years since I got into a physical confrontation on a boat ramp.
We are trolling along, and some *%#@! [url "mailto:*&*%#@^%"]*&*%#@^%[/url]! *&^$$#!
H_ _ _ B _ _ _ _ _ waterskiier decides to totally violate the law and drive thier boat about 30 ft off the back of ours on plane.
Of course, our lines were instantly attracted to thier bumb B_ _ _ _ prop, and 600 yds of 14 lb fireline and two very fine lures got spooled at about 4000 rpm.
It was a fun fight while it lasted, but it kind of ended the day.
Now, not too long ago, I would have fired up the engine, ran that boat down, and we would have gone some rounds of words, and if they got an attitude, it may have gotten a little bit more interesting.
But I just looked at the old man and said some choice words, called them some choice names, and said "well, I guess that does it for us for the day."
getting old is boring.
Its tomeguns fault. He turned he into a wuss.
But, before we got spooled by the H_ _ _ B_ _ _ _ _ waterskiers, we did get some wipers.
