We watch deadliest catch alot. This brings me back to my grandpa. He was the Captain of the sand boat out of Sandusky. Before I was in 1st grade I was on every Great lake except Ontario. I'm sure he let me drive the boat while setting in his lap. I knew before they left Sandusky I would check to see if there was hot chocolate on board i was going too.

When he retired we brought him up to the locks in Michigan. He and I sat there as his sight had passed I would tell him the name of the ship and he would tell me the length the Captain and everything about the ship.

Gosh he gave me my love for boating. Why I have owned alot of boats over the years. Looking for a different one next summer. I will sell my bike and get back on the water.

Is this a metaphor about how our QBs are getting caught by D linemen?

Crabbed fish? It's that an action or a disease?

Ver's not only was my grandpa a great man now this is not PC as we were getting older we had to get our first drunk on at Christmas at his house before we hit double digits in age. To this day I will never drink Seagram's again.

It's nice to see you looking forward to it, and looking ahead to next summer buddy. Hope you hit the lotto so you can get a new boat, and a new bike laugh

A friend of mine once said that a boat is a hole in the water you throw money into. lol Hopefully yours will not be.

The two happiest days of a boat owner are the day it is bought and the day it is sold smile

That said, I really really miss not having a boat. I grew up in Toledo and my dad always had a boat we docked in Luna Pier, MI. Columbus boating stinks - if I lived in northern Ohio I'd sell my Cobra and buy a boat in a second. I miss it so much!

It's said that the state of Nevada is in the top 2 states for catching crabs.

Least that's what I hear.

On the lighter side, my wife and I had a 28' Carver docked in Sandusky Bay for 15ish years. Nice weekend getaways + I love to fish.


Let this sink in..... On 12-31-23 it be will 123123.
On the flip side, you can tune a piano but you can't tune-a-fish.

I'm surprised that even driving by a Hooters doesn't cause you moral outrage, much less eating there.
