Good thing I'm bringing up a case of condoms, my ExtraTufs, my SIMM's ProDry suit as well as my Grunden's. Thinking I should bring up the drysuit and the full face mask as well.

Dear god, I really hope Scott doesn't end up sleep on the boat. If that happens, all I ask is that they send the Coast Guard in for an early morning rescue.

The wolf pack at the Hilltop is probably already drooling for the newly available fresh meat.....

King or Dungeness?

32 years for me this past week. Got married when I was 20. Had to find a young, naive one and get her married before she had any comparables - otherwise I'm afraid I would have been single forever. The key to all long marriages - set low expectations at the beginning.

The wife is and always has been a real keeper. She fished bluegills with me in farm ponds back in the old days and is willing to go out for salmon and tuna now. Doesn't need or want to go fishing but is usually willing to come along. She knows to look away when the guys are peeing over the rail and doesn't mind using the marine head. She's also tolerant of the inevitable potty mouth talk or innuendo that seems to be a part of nearly all discussions on a boat with fishing buddies aboard. She's willing to reel in fish but is also happy just to be on the water reading a book. With the enclosed cabin of my C-Dory Tomcat, fair or foul weather is not an issue and she's always willing to make the occasional sandwich or meal on the boat. She's willing to help with the fish processing and runs the vacuum packer and labels the bags. Doesn't have expensive tastes and tolerates me putting $'s into the boat and fishing.

She can run the boat but isn't that great at it. I swear if I ever went overboard with her at the helm, she'd probably go a mile or two before she realized I was missing. When it comes to driving the truck (even without a trailer attached) it's "don't even go there" - so I've given up on attempting that training. Still, I think I scored overall and I never thought about "trading up" or getting a divorce as in neither case could I do better than what I have now.

35 years and our first trip together in my camper was to Sekiu!
We dated for 5 years before marriage, that helped!

Never been married, but committed for quite a few years until...all of a sudden my truck wasn't good enough to haul his sorry a$$ and my boat to the launch anymore!

But I have to say, after reading this thread, it seems that there just might be a few peeps out there who can appreciate a girl that can bait her own hook!!!

i'll fish with you site unseen!!!!

I knew the offers would start to roll in, take your "wood shampoo'r" along with you fishgal.

Sounds like you're about two weeks in.

Things change my friend.

Dude, pinch yourself.

Feel very fortunate. Got married to my wife 32yrs ago last week. Last of the 3 great kids got married last weekend.
For the most part have always done what I damn well pleased as far as fishing or hunting. Maybe I just figured out that when it's important to her maybe I should lean her way once in a while!

She's right---It is the best way ta dry out a cooler and it was your mess.
If that bird dog was worth anything he'd know not ta piss on anything other than bushes.

I always hated english and math.

More of a construction kinda guy. Love to use power tools. Big, strong, repeating tools that completely tear up and destroy things. Like a Jack Hammer.

Been a good couple of days at work!

You using the One handed Jack Hammer?

One handed, two handed, two feet - whatever it takes to get the job done and done well!

PS. I didn't realize IKEA had wifi now.

Kazzzzzing !

One handed or not, still beats being married.......
