Both my pawpaws were genuinely good, spiritual and hard working men with an insane amount of practical know-how. Seemed like there wasn't much they couldnt figure out regarding mechanical and home things. Neither hunted or fished much in my lifetime but used to when they were younger and provided us gkids with the places to do both. Still miss them after many years since their passing.

I think that was a lot of them. Raised in the country they had no choice but to make do with what they had available. Home Depot and Napa weren't on every corner. Just amazed me what we fixed with bailing wire, duct tape and a little ingenuity. Steering goes out on boat, he goes to rear of boat(stick steer) lashes paddle to outboard opens beer and tells me to go crank her up and work the throttle for him. Drove that bitch back like a boss.

My pow pow was a great story teller.
I remember when he got too old to fish and passed his tackle box and rods down to me.
That afternoon we sat in lawnchairs on the back porch and went through every bait in the box. Every bait had a story to go along with it. We just sat there drinking coffee and I'd listen like a kid as he told those stories.
I miss that man a whole lot.
