Nother Niner Update......LIFE IS GOOD!!
I prolly already told y'all how well the Radio Stereo Tactical Surgery went for me last week.....
In a word FANTASTIC. I guess I'm still in "recovery mode", as they are still weaning me off of the steroids and pain meds. THAT said....I AM FEELING BETTER THAN I HAVE SINCE I GOT SICK!!!
The constant pain in my back is just not there now. NOW.....that may all change as the keep me off of the steroids and my body gets back into "reality mode", but by and large I'd have to say it LOOKS like the radiation treatments were a huge success!!!!:thumbsup
That brings up a subject I've been talking about a little bit here on the site.
Di and I have been talking on and off for some time now (years??) about getting another fishing boat. SO, we have decided that, by golly, we need to get off of the pot and do something about it.
The deal is, I really didn't want to buy a boat big enough that it required its own tandem axel trailer, nor did we have any want/need/desire to go hair-on-fire fast across the water. What we WERE interested in was something that I could (hopefully) handle by myself given my limited mobility issues.
SO, the brand of boat we decided on was the Carolina Skiff. If you've never been near the salt water, you've prolly never seen nor heard of them. They DO make some "off shore" units.....but they also have a lot of "small water boats". I am SURE Thump's seen them all over Florida.
Anywhoo.....to make a long story just a little longer....we picked up a NICE used 13 footer the other day. Got's a brand new Yamaha 4cycle engine hung on the back and a bow-mounted trolling motor in the front. We took some time-out yesterday and took it down to a local reservoir for a shake-down cruise. She did wonderfully.....certainly NOT in the hair-on-fire bass fishing crowd, but a nice mellow little "fishin' trip"....I even managed to put a crappie or three on ice.
