JimmyD, Really-really glad to hear you’re doing OK. With DVT, the news can go either way.
Tony, all, Sounds like my plight, fishing-wise. I’ve been fixing up my Grumman Sport Canoe with folding seats, a new electric motor and a huge battery that would double as a toy-hauler travel-trailer power supply. I used it once two years ago with the new seats and nunce since I got the trolling motor last spring. Health issues (mostly cleared up now) and a sudden death with our camping buddies (the wife- my wife’s best friend) put a serious hurt on motivation to get out camping this summer. Added to the the total fire-ban for all camping areas, and it’s just not the same ‘happy happy’ time that it used to be. I also outfitted my Mokai (jet kayak) with a neutral clutch a year ago, which will make it a lot easier to navigate slow, park, wait, etc. Haven even gotten to finish the installation, much less use it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cm6RKrA8aSA And my poor pontoon kick-boat doesn’t remember what the water feels like, it’s been so long. Will be another 6 months before I can try any of them again because of hard water concerns. If I can lose more weight over the winter... Right now I’m focusing on my diet and exercise for T2D, and it’s coming along pretty well. My body doesn’t notice when I skip my 3X/day short-blast insulin, so I’m hoping I can get officially off it and rely on the 24hr stuff. Then I want to get off of it too. Doc’s really happy, as I got an interim T2D blood test before my visit last week, and it was normal in almost every category that was way off when my sugars skyrocketed a month and a half ago. I also dropped 37lbs, which made him happy too. My eyes have seemed to stabilize now, with needing reading glasses to tie and best driving vision coming with old 30 year-old prescription glasses. So now I’m really hoping to be able to see a #14 dry fly float by at 70 feet. Getting old is no fun, especially having a diet that cuts out most of my favorite Cajun grub, especially the deep-fried stuff. Oh well, as long as I wake up on the green side of the grass.

I was having a hard time pulling the start rope on the old one. To this date, the new outboard has less than five hours running time on it.

I am not allowed to take the boat out by myself. It is hard to find someone to go out with when I am feeling well enough to go.

Dot will not let me drive either. I have to get her to take me anywhere I might have to go. You are lucky, the nearest Cabala's is over five hours round trip and the BPO shop is over 6 hours round trip. But I don't have to go far to fish if I am up to it. The White river is 52' from my back porch. Tony On Friday, November 1, 2013 12:22 PM, Jimmy D. Moore <ray...@earthlink.net> wrote: Had appt with doc yesterday.

I really look like an old man wearing those and bermuda shorts. ;-) Miss Jody won't let me do anything. :-( I was going to drive down to our new Cabela's store but she wouldn't hear of it. Son Joe gave me glowing a glowing report on the store, Now he and I have only a short distnce to drive Beats the helluva out of BPS at 250 miles round trip and 150 for the Buda (18 miles RT from my house,Cabelas.
