I am thinking of moving because the type of people that I am seeing nowadays. Just this Monday I was going to take a motor by to get it check up and ready for summer. I pull up and run around to the back shop and I was sickened. A greasy trashy looking fella strolls out looking like something you might find in a 1960's zombie movie. Low and behold it was some guy name Dave Davidson...... You could have knocked me over with a feather!! It was great to see ya again Dave, and YES we need to have a pondboss lunch with george!!! The neighborhood has really gone to the birds.......

Yep, I know the owner of the place and had been cutting up a large, storm felled, elm tree for him. Sweaty, nasty, all of the above and dressed for the part. I had stopped and was talking to the owner when I saw a guy coming who was screaming unintelligibly. Yep, I had been spotted by Fat McB.
Always a pleasure.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Play it safe and stay in the front of shops unless you are searching out and odd thrill.

Hey, he is buying a pretty neat CC Robalo. He and his Son will really enjoy it. My Buddy who owns the shop is checking out the motor.

Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:"
"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

That looks nice! You won't be running with the big boys, but it sure beats a set of oars. I'll bet with 2 people you'll be going at least 45.

I didn't want to offend on your boat captaining.  It is a good reminder to be careful out there!!
