Torqeedo…resisted it for a while…

The move from my 20’s to my 30’s was a blur.  Not because it happened so fast, but because I self-medicated with most legal/illegal/natural substances known at that time.  The best I can remember, it was fun (say it often, glad there was no Facebook to document it!!)…but may contribute to why now in my 50’s I … Continue reading Torqeedo…resisted it for a while…

…and the winner is….us!

Since I have written my pity post talking about my performance at the 2019 KBF National Championship in Shreveport/Bossier Louisiana, I will not rehash that at all.  I developed a solid pattern; launch, fish, come back empty handed – it just wasn’t a winning pattern.  (stole that line, think it was a Ron Himmelhaver quote) … Continue reading …and the winner is….us!

Not ready for prime time….

I wish I could say I am satisfied that I finished in the top ten of our clubs season opener, finally ending a skunkfest that had me considering the end of my kayak tournament career.  But when you only catch a single measurable fish (or when I do anyway), it feels a bit disappointing.

I spent a little time researching (very little) the correct procedure or ritual required, the correct syntax, the proper etiquette and whether or not the world would become unsettled before I christened my first Hobie (a ProAngler 12) the “BoHobien Rhapsody”.  Then my Joy and I promptly named her Hobie Compass “Don QuiHobie”, with no … Continue reading say hello to my little friend…the Hobie Grail…

Some of you may not understand the reference to an old commercial, ‘cause you ain’t that old, but it was about the chocolate center of the Tootsie Pop...Google it...but that … Continue reading Why does the old fat guy have to take pics?

…..no……

The child in me wants to say "NO....LEAVE ME ALONE!" so I don't have to talk about the first tourney of 2019. The KBF Tenvitational sponsored by Dee Zee. And technically, I don't have to share at all....I do control the typing after all...but, I am not six...and I can't pretend I wasn't here... Bienville....day … Continue reading …..no……

2019….let’s do this…

The Nissan has just shy of 120,00 miles; almost 30,000 of those miles came from last year. It definitely does not have that new truck smell - more like fish slime and dirty clothes mixed together. The R-Pod, our camper, has new tires and a new fender; the old fender blew off when the tire … Continue reading 2019….let’s do this…
