Nice!!! Growing up at my parents marina, Ive seen a great deal over the years. My favorite to this day is a inflatable Zodiac. Super $$$$, but just like a Boston Whaler - if you are out on the water every day and need something seriously dependable that you put your life in the hands of, who cares about $$$.

That said - Ill never own a motor boat unless I hit the lottery.

I did some Zodiac training in the Marine Corps. Those rubber boats were surprisingly capable and stable even though I spent more time jumping out of them than riding around in them.

Never won a big lotto but I do love motor boating.

Evey one at works asking me if I'm going camping this weekend because it's a 3 day weekend/holiday... told them that would be like going to a bar on St Patty's day..... I leave that to the rookies. Stay local and hit up BBQ's and leave the woods for the city slickers on holidays.

Could not agree more. I'm going to the woods but it's a friends ranch so no one else around. Fishing, beer, and smoking some good food.

Wish I had some friends with ranches in PA. In NJ that would be a bad thing. Ive got ranches within 5 minutes of my house, but they are owned by millionaires and used as horse stables.

It is nice having friends. This is about 800 acres. Mostly used for pleasurr and hunting and about 20 cows. Most is uncleared except for 5 or 6 food plots an acre or 2 each.2 houses and a 35 acre lake.

Well my wife surprised me. She knew I had been thinking about a new fly rod. So now the plan is to give her my old one to use while she she learns. That way I don't have to bait a hook every 5 minutes when she goes.

 

[Silverback]

That's a good woman right there!

Did she show you the new shoes she bought herself?

 

[Mitt78]

No, she collects plastic tubs full of purses that fill up closets.

Got an early fathers day gift today. Was wanting a rain fly and bug net for my hammock but Eno has a bag with the hammock, straps, fly and bug net for about $20 more.
My wife trying it out.

New burner. Needed something a little more than my tiny snow peak butane burner. Narrowed it down to MSR due to their reputation. Handled the Wisperlite and Dragonfly in the store and settled on the Wisperlite. It can burn white gas, unleaded, and kerosene.
Tried it out with a pot of water and it boiled quick. Came with a windscreen as well. The table surface did get hotter than I want it to so I will think of something to put down so the powder coat does not bubble.

Nice.. I really like MSR gear.
