If I had only known...... Us old retired folks don't keep track of days like the younger generation do. To us, every day is a ....take your pick of a day. Well, that's what happen yesterday. It was Sunday. But I should have knowed 'cause the day before was Saturday, and I knew it.
Ya see, when I get to think'n bout stuff, what day of the week it is don't make no matter what-so-ever. But in a small town it do. Stores close on Sunday in small towns. Even Gonzale's Auto Part store in Zapata, Texas. And that's where me an' Sadie Mae went. We was on a mission to buy a BIGGER "bubba boat" battery.
After a 60 miles round trip to Zapata an' back, something clicked in my mind....Tractor Supply. They got lawn tractor batteries I betcha. Now we headed off to the south another 6o miles round trip. Just for a battery for the "bubba boat"....and some milk, and some plumb'n fittins, and some Churches chicken. After all those stops, the old Billy Bob was wore slap out and needed some rest.
But "bubba boat" has a new BIGGER battery. Same physical size as the other one, but more "power"....go a hunnert mile a hour an' last all day long.....maybe. Ya see I says maybe??? Well, that don't make no matter 'cause I have TWO batteries now. One for run'n the motor and the other for balance.....and back-up power. "You a genius Billy Bob...who would'a ever think to take two batteries on a fish'n trip"???
I been want'n a bigger boat. One what I have room to move around in an' not worry bout turn'n over an' fall in the water....drown ya know. So's I spend a few hour do'n some research. Hot damn, I want you lookie here at that boat. The guy is stand'n up throw'n his fish'n pole in the water. And he got a dog in the boat.
Now that's what I'm talk'n bout......
Don't know what go'n on with the weather. Last couple days the wind been blow'n like there was a storm on the horizon or something like that. And it's been "hot". Air cond weather. Low last night was 68 degs, yesterdays high was 88 in Rio Grande City. Boy howdy yee ha....it's summer.

Maybe you should install some pontoons on the RV. Then you could sit in your recliner and fish out the door. You make things, so that should not be a problem.

Deletesend some of the warmth to AZ .. it's cold here again! Been here 3 weeks and only had 1 week of warm temps!
ReplyDeleteI had one of those Porta-Boats there for a while. Wouldn't recommend it, though.
ReplyDeleteMight suggest a Sea Eagle SE8
