re: Middle aged men of the OT
Posted by WilsonPickett on 7/19/24 at 9:37 pm
I ordered a brand new 2025 Sea Hunt 255 UltraSE yesterday, it comes in sometime in Sept. We have a condo in Perdido Key with a boat slip and lift. That’s where it will stay. If I didn’t have a place on the water I’d probably not own a boat. I hate towing and launching all the time. I’ve owned a boat...
re: My Monjauro/Zepbound journey
Posted by WilsonPickett on 6/22/24 at 8:38 pm
I was 250 lbs in November 2023. I’m only 5’6”. I had Non-Alcholic Fatty Liver, pre-Diabetic, high cholesterol, low-testosterone. I was a sugar-addict, it’s how I dealt with my stress. I own my own business and have 30 employees and it’s great but since Covid it’s been so stressful. I was already hea...

re: Buying a Boat
Posted by WilsonPickett on 6/13/24 at 4:46 pm
Watch out for 'Covid' boats. Many a manufacturer struggling with production quality during and just after Covid. Lots of 2022's out there with fiberglass and electrical issues from half-arse work.
I like new, but sometimes there can be deals to be had. Just do your homework and get it looked over...
re: Lajitas Golf Resort

I'm an 8 currently and shot 92 on day 1 & 90 on day 2. On day 3 we play the golds and played a 2-man scramble game with the entire group. Each day I started well but the back nine was tough and I believe mostly because of the heat. If you play maroon out there you'll have some long 2nd shots (175-20...
re: Orange Beach/Perdido golf UPDATE
Posted by WilsonPickett on 6/1/24 at 10:28 am
I play Perdido Bay pretty regularly because it's 5 min from our place down there. It's a great course for the money. It won't beat your arse like Kiva can do some days. It's also great place for practice. Buy a bucket of range balls and you can hit balls on the range, chip on their practice chipping ...

There are 2-3 water stations on the course where they keep water in ice chest you can grab to refill your cart. But make sure you fill your ice chest with ice at t...

I was hoping to post it all tomorrow from my computer, hate typing in this phone. I went straight to the beach from the trip so I’m just getting settled back in.
The course was awesome! Great condition and unbelievably scenic! I’ll try to post my pics tomorrow when I can. It was pretty dang toug...
re: To those of you that have a workshop/shed....what would you do differently?
Posted by WilsonPickett on 5/23/24 at 9:56 pm
Mine is 50x60 and it’s plenty enough shed. Eaves are 14’, red iron building fully insulated. 20x20 of it is a full kitchen, bath & storage room with central AC in there. Building is not climate controlled but I am adding gas heat this season because winters can suck.
It has full plumbing (incl g...

We’re taking the chartered flight from Dallas Love Field. We leave Dallas at 9am and land at Lajitas at 10:30am, no 10 hr drive for us. We’re playing it 3 days in row. High temps 106-108 all 3 days! ??
I’ll report back when I’m back home. ...

Tiger Pointe is good course. Play there 4/5x’s a year. Got a tee time there for Friday May 24th. Also play Perdido Bay a bit. It was struggling after Sally but it’s coming along and they seem to be sinking some money into it lately. But it’s still about an hour from where you’re staying. Craft Farms...
re: First baseman had wrong foot on the bag restricting his ability to stretch for the throw
Posted by WilsonPickett on 5/11/24 at 8:34 pm
[quote]The right handed first baseman should have had his right foot on the bag which would have allowed for him to stretch further and possibly catch the ball. That is a basic fundamental but I see this improper footwork frequently by today's players. I would like to see a a clear video of the play...

Did leave my landing net many nights and it never disappeared. Only ever locked one compartment and it held my minn kota remo...

Yeah this was my thought also. The boat will live on a lift in Pensacola all the time. The only exception is that I have to pull it off the lift if a tropical storm/hurricane is within so many miles of the marina. It'll ...
Towing a boat with 1/2 ton truck.
Posted by WilsonPickett on 5/7/24 at 7:21 am
I have a 2022 Chevy Silverado High Country 1/2 ton w/ 6.2L V8 gas engine w/ air bags. The boat I'm looking at is 4900lbs dry w/o engines. Twin 200's at 525 lbs each. Fuel weight would be about 800lbs with a full tank. I'd assume loaded with gear would at up to 1000lbs.
