Boat questions

Boy Howdy, is everyone think'b old Billy Bob gonna go in circles. Well, I been think'n the same thing.

On the bottom of the "little blow up bass fish'n boat" is a little rubber keel thingy. That supposed to help keep a boat on a straight course to where the fish is. But the more I look at the finished product, I'm think'n long the lines of go'n in little round circles. But.....old Billy Bob ain't no stupit person. He knows all bout steer'n a boat with a oar or paddle. Ya see, here what ya do.....ya set the trolling motor straight forward and use the paddle to steer the boat. So no, old Billy Bob ain't gonna go in circles. I hope!!!

Went off to the golf ball swak'n place this morn'n with "pesky neighbor" Wayne. Weren't supposed to be any wind, but there it was.....15 20 mile a hour. Then after we returned to "da house", the wind quit. Ain't narry a breeze out there.

Got me in another box of western books yesterday. Bout 65 of 'em I think. That should last me for a couple three months. Sure need to get rid of some that I already read. Bout 150 of 'em I think. But then, I could always start read'n them over again. That way, they last me for years. With the memory I got, that is the best solution to an ever grow'n problem of tot'n books all over the country.

Speak'n of go'n all over the country, one my sons want to know when I'm gonna make it to Georgia. I really hadn't planned of going to Georgia, but I bet if I was promised someone to wash and wax "da house", bring me breakfast every morn'n, go to the lake a couple five times, golf'n every week and wash my dungarees, you bet I would go.

Ok....gotta take me a nap......see ya laters.

  1. BB, I used a side mount on canoes for over thirty years and it works just great. The only caution is to mount it far enough out that you can turn the prop toward the boat without hitting the boat. You can ruin a prop that way.

  2. Are you going to take your sidekick, Sadie Mae, when you go fishing in your boat?

  4. I don't know a lot about canoes and kayaks, but one thing I learned the hard (wet) way is that if you put too much weight on one side the other side gets curious and/or mad and raises up to see what's happening. Generally resulting in a not so slow roll until the top and bottom switch sides. What ya gonna do to make that not happen
