Things Ole Sarge, Dad, Coach has Said to You

Yea Boat=Break Out Another Thousand. I spent $10k in 2016 upgrading trolling motor, depthfinders, batteries, and battery charger. Now my graphs and TM our outdated compared to the latest offerings. Oh and not to mention I did all the work myself so no labor charges. Ouch.

 

I paid about $150 each for a pair of Current deep cycle batteries. Is your bro hard on a batteries or just using them constantly?

 

He's retired now and loves spending time on the lake. Part of a bass club he takes part in many tournaments in the Pacific South West.
Fishing's always been his #1 hobby ~ both ocean and now mostly freshwater.
With $3K in your boat I'd say that's a bargain !

 

My boat is a 12ft Lowe 1240.

 

My dad did his time in WWII ~ US Army Artillery Division sent to Europe. In basic training he was issued a uniform to wear.

He said they had two sizes ~ too big & too small.

 

My husband is a Marine who served in Vietnam. He's pretty salty. He tells our grandchildren, regardless of age or gender, when they are whining or fussing to "suck it up and be a man!" It usually makes them giggle.

 

I did my in the USAF, Vietnam, kicking tires and pumping gas on the C7A Caribou. Whenever some sort of issue became the topic of conversation it went like this;

We talked about it, laughed about it and forgot about it . . .

I still use this quip to this day when issues don't get resolved.

 

Sometimes you eat the bear. Sometimes the bear eats you.

 

Wow that's a great fish!!! I bass fish almost every day. Been bass fishing since I was around 9 or 10. Currently sporting a 400$ used ascend 12ft kayak that gets me anywhere. I can get into most places a boat cannot. Here in Florida where you have a ton of hydrilla, eel grass Lilly pads etc... It makes lurker hunter fun! And it's great exercise lol. At least that's what I tell myself.

 

TI at boot camp: You gotta believe in something or you're lost, where'd you say you're going?

Dumber than a box of stupid rocks ( some of the new privates I got)

Don't mistake my kindness for weakness

 

Get your head out of your ass and get your ass in gear.

 

That's as ugly as home made sin . . .

 

she is sore to the eyes. - (Dad)

 

Dad: "Keep your f'n paws off of my whiskey!"

"You Dumb Dora".. still no clue what that one meant!

All in all, he was one of my best friends as we both grew older. I miss the ol' fart.

 

Never steal anything you have to work with . . .

Don't steal ~ the government hates the competition . . .

 

Always be who you is, never be who you isnt cuz if you his what you isnt you never is what you is. Pretty much always be who you are but that was my Dads way of saying it.

 

If you don't believe the dead come alive just visit the job site at quitting time . . .

They walked away from their jobs like a chicken from its droppings . . .

 

He is a well mannered boy, just a little bit on the dumb side!!
