Quit smoking cold turkey after smoking for more than 30 years.

Woke up every morning hacking and coughing for years.
Woke up one morning and said “ That’s it… I’m done with this crap”

Never touched another cigarette all his days. Said the first week was tough and that was it.


Could also imitate anything in the woods to perfection after only listening for a minute or two. Absolutely uncanny…

WAY back up in Cowikee Creek on Lake Eufaula


Always wanted to head back in there but kinda worried about losing a lower unit doing it
Damn shame. Cooter and myself were Mopar bro’s in the closest way. I had a twin to his RoadRunner on the show. Only difference is he had a 413 wedge in his and I ran a 340 in mine.

Of course Daisy went and wrecked it…..


Damn women.
Call the local tax auditors office. Ask them where the highest concentration of Chargers and Challengers is in town.
Now mark this on your map and proceed to the opposite side of town. Look there.

You can thank me later….

I will never understand the Open Shot concept.


Have dropped two P&Y’s at the bottom of my tree that I would never have gotten without the Open Shot.
It doesn’t get in the way of your limbs for s straight down shot

I also have a summit open shot that I prefer over the viper when bow hunting.


For bow hunting the Summit Open Shot is THE way to go.
Have used one for 20 years. Just change the cables out every few years as needed.
But I take my in and back out on every hunt so they never get left out in the elements

Does that limit the tournaments you can fish?


Yes, so that was my main excuse not to get one

Colors?


Nearly the same with a few small changes

Gunmetal -cap
Black Fox -hull and insert
Coral -lightning bolt n trim

The coral stripe really pulls the orange out thats strewn through the black fox flake.

Also went with the dark grey hull, just to not show the mudline as well when in between washes

Just ordered the orange striping kit for the Merc to tie it all together.

Gonna be hard to trade my first “girl”….she’s been a great boat. Took her for our last trip Sunday and she rewarded me with a double on topwater, one largemouth and one spot.
That was a first ;)

You ever consider getting it with the SHO and flashing it to over 300?


The Yammies are good motors, but I always liked my motors like my women, black and fast





JK. Saw no reason to fix what ain’t broke. ;)

Already? Wow ?

The P2 has been redesigned, but not enough for me to "upgrade".



They were running a special on the Eyra with two 12" graphs and LiveScope model of your choice. MK also had come out with the brushless quest Ultrex since I bought my first Eyra. And they.had changed the console to fit a 12" graph instead of having to run a mount.. Special also comes with two power poles, but they aren't much use in these highland reservoirs, so I had their cost taken off the bottom line
Just little stuff but added together made it more tempting to "upgrade" vs refit my current boat.
Added a hydraulic jack plate as well this time around. Eyras can get a little funny with weight changes so having a manual plate put me at a slight disadvantage.

Considered upping to the 300 R motor but was smart enough to talk myself out of it. But it WAS tempting


Now I will have no excuse not to hit 80-plus :)

True story during my time at Tyndall AFB
.
Marine group of Harriers came in for a Copper Flag Air Defense excercise.

Last bird in the pattern was their squadron commander. Instead of normal landing he brings his bird into a hover and proceeds down the taxiway to where the rest of his group has taxied and parked on the ramp, pilots still sitting in their idling planes.

He proceeds to do an " inspection" of each parked Harrier just as a training TI/DI would do to a formation....while still flying his Harrier! From people I knew that saw it....... it was glorious.

Unfortunately he did it w/o the permission of our wing commander and broke 17 gazillion rules by doing it. By the time he exited his A/C our wing commander was there to meet him on the tarmac. It is said the ensuing shouting match was epic and akin to King Kong and Godzilla discussing their differences.

The newly arrived Harrier group was subsequently refueled and departed with haste.

I would imagine to have overheard their conversation would have been one for the ages. :)
