Combat Warriors

We were fortunate last week to be able to take some wounded Combat Warriors out for a little fishing trip. This is Carl and his son Robert. He is my hero, and I promised myself that I will quit grunting when I get up or down, or find myself up against a rusty and stubborn nut and bolt. 

Carl navigated and drove the boat while the captain, uhhhhhh, checked the water depth.

Our crew for the day. Many thanks to the FO on the bow for providing good eats for the day, and constantly preventing Robert from jumping in the water. Nice picture of CooKeeAnna, I'm wondering who walked out on the water and photographed us?

I hinted last week that we might be adding to the Riley armada. We did indeed, like her? I used to sell steam humidifiers at Skuttle so a transition from hummer to boat seems pretty natural, yes? We saw this boat in action a few weeks ago, she really is steam operated; but not unlike Paris Hilton she is pretty but I don't think I'd want to be on her. 

No, we didn't add a steamship to the fleet, but we did add a little Whaler, been wanting one for about 40-45 years. So little that she fit into the car garage. By the way, see those letters against the wall? Long story, different post. She should be a nice toy for everyone. I described her this week as my new diving board; and her name shall be................

..........................determined this week. It's down to CappyShack or Fishstick 2. Please vote below,  and do so quickly please. We might try to christen her Sunday afternoon. 

Jackson is now officially a Fergusonite and likes it. We miss him.

5:20 AM wheels up Monday heading for Texas, 9:40 PM Friday return, going to be a long week, but I'll bet we have a little fun in there somewhere. 

Vote early, vote now, and vote often.
