Talking That Wasn't Me

Well got the Boat running right.Yesterday had it loaded up to go to Pomme De Terre Lake.Weatherman was calling for warm,but no rain.But he said it was going to be windy.My wife asked if this was going to be a problem? Hey I have my Boat loaded I an't going to let a little wind stop me.

Get there about daylight,the Lake is flat no wind.Boat is running good,go on up to a cove throwed some Jugs out.Fish with Jig along the bank,catch a few small Bass.Decide to go on up tie up to a tree and catch some Bluegill.

The it started blowing.I'm thinking this could be a problem.I have to get them Jugs.But first I have to get away from the rocks along the bank.Oh this is going to be good.I untie the Boat it immediately goes between two rocks.Ok how am I going to get out of this? I start the Boat,shoved away from the rock that was by the Prop,back out of there.Well that went ok.

Then I go to get my Jugs.Game plan was to get on the upwind side of them grab them before they went under the Boat.Well the Boat was a rocking,had to make two are three tries to get them and keep from washing up on the bank.Finally got them all in.

Oh but the fun is not over.I get up to the Ramp.Tie up to some bushes on the bank,go up get the Pickup,back it down there.Well the wind had blowed my Boat loose,pulled the bushes out,blowed my Boat up on the Ramp.Thought ok I'll use the Trolling Motor to pull off.No go!Finally I get out push the Boat around where the Motor should be ok.Finally get it pulled out of there and loaded.

So what did I learn first don't go by yourself if its windy.Do not put out Jugs if its windy.Really best to take someone with you.

Big rockpile, ever heard that women folks have this thing called" INTUITION" Its kinda like ESP except it only works on husbands and boyfriends and its always bad. Its also kinda like a curse or spell, and its real easy to get the two confused but thats ok because the outcome is always the same, Bad LUCK for us.I've found the best way to stay clear of them things is to nip it in the bud. When they hint for you two to go shopping or out to eat, tell them ok we will go maybe next week. Ok now you know you have at least a week to plan that hunting or fishing trip without a lot of nagging.But don't mention it until next week, after you have the boat hooked up and every thing packed and the truck running, now run in and say real fast, fish are biting and I gotta go, and run back toward the truck. You will probably hear her running behind you shouting something. Try not to listen and jump in the truck and take off and once you know she can't catch you,hollar out the window, we'll go out to eat next week, then you are off again headed toward some good luck fishing hopefully. Reason being when she was running and hollaring behind you, she was hollaring out that dang "INTUITION" But lucky you didn't hear it, and the only way for them to work is we have to hear and understand them. You did nether of the two and now you are starting a lucky streak keep it going as long as you can because it takes a lot of secret planning and coniving to get this far and you don't want to blow it now lol Eddie

In other words if I'm wanting to go Camping this Fall with nothing more than a Tarp.Just leave a Note and don't take Cell Phone.I'm sure she would find some reason this won't work.

Yea,lol, sometimes we have to use seemingly underhanded tricks to keep the upper hand in our favor. Without using them tricks we could never win, because them women is one of the sneakest creatures God ever created. Well let me get off here before I get caught,my wifes already mad about that" honeydo list" ended up in the trashcan. I told her the dog probably hid it in there, don't think she believed me though.

RP, was this you???

:Saturday morning I got up early, dressed quietly, made my lunch, grabbed the dog, slipped quietly into the garage to hook the boat up to the truck, and proceeded to back out into a torrential down pour. The wind was blowing 50 mph. I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad throughout the day.

I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. There I cuddled up to my wife's back, now with a different anticipation, and whispered, 'The weather out there is terrible.'

My loving wife of 20 yrs replied, 'Can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that weather?'

I still don't know to this day if she was joking, but I have stopped fishing.
