Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations No Longer Alone in the USA for 45 Days

The wayward waifs are all settled down in the lake house. I'm going to see if I can get Fatih onto my time schedule - forget about naps and have him going from early to late. I'll keep him occupied while in the truck so he doesn't nap.

Scott, I found a pair of yellow needle nosed pliers and a Gerber multi-tool in the tin boat this morning. I know they have to belong to Keith, Fatih, or DD1, so could you check there, and I'll check with Dave.

Yep, I remember training our kids to do the same!

Al, the yellow needle nose are/were mine. They're fairly low mileage. Enjoy them. I won't run short any time soon.

You go Scott, Fatih is too old and too young ta need nappy time. Buck up and get with the Midwestern time frame

I was at the lake house @ 5 this morning, the house was all dark. I didn't want to wake Keith, so I tapped on Fatih's bedroom window. He looked like I woke him up, but he was out of the house in less than 10 minutes. I'll let him fill everybody in on how bad the mosquitos were where we went. (worst I've seen in a few years)

He is back at the lake house seeing if he can catch a carp. Keith was on the pier fishing when we got back, and Fatih couldn't get to the water fast enough. I have some things that I have to get caught up on in the office, but we're on the road again in 2 hrs or so.

I have to do some running and gunning in the Amish community this afternoon, and at least Fatih is coming along. I imagine that will be a bit of America that he hasn't experienced before (I heard that he did have a taste of it around CMM's place).

Wed we will do more fishing around here in some ponds. Thursday is still up in the air. Friday we will be going to Cecil's, meeting Bob-O and maybe Bill Cody. Then it's to Bob-O's place and I don't know what he's got in store for the wandering waifs. Saturday we will hit the Sporting Clays range, then it's off to Chicago for a 4th of July party that evening.

Al, I'll ask them if it's theirs. UPS flat rate priority should make it here before they leave if they want them back.

I thought I posted this already but with a week signal it must not have.

Al, I'm pretty sure the multi-tool was mine if it looked fairly new, but it was a Wally World special for just that reason (not being tethered to Fatih ).

I'm not concerned with it so please get some use out of it or pass it on to someone who can.

Thanks!

Keith, I'll get the multi-tool back to you because if I don't, it'll just wind up at DD1's.

Dave, have we ever been together when one of us didn't leave something? We may to start getting the wife's to babysit us. CRS is the word of the day.

We certainly got a treat having you both there at the same time!

And there's not enough signal at Scott's lake house but said I could use his laptop at his home to finally get some Texas and Missouri updates posted

Thanks, Al but you two are certainly welcome to keep passing it back and forth. It could be a Fatih reminder for years to come! The multi-purpose Turkey tool

Keith, I like the other mugshot better.

O.K. Now today at my pond, who outfished whom? (I'm talking about you and Fatih - leave my sorry butt out of it!)

Did esshup model a fishtitution gown also?

That's a Southern thang.............

I had a pretty fancy one in the ER last week, and while floating above my body due to the shot's, thought I might ask if they would sell some. Yep, forgot

I think we should all dress like Pirates on LM

Spark, if Esshup would have been with us he would have been wearing one too!

Esshup, it's hard to say it's a southern thang when the first Fishtitution gown was donned in your own home state!

But nice try

PS - but come to think of it, CMM insisted we take ours home. Sooooo, since we have them here, esshup has a pier and it's a very busy weekend on the lake, I think a photo of he and Fatih modeling one could\should be in order? (Of course I would join them but we only have two )

?????????

Keith, bring yer Toga outfits and me and Cody will model em for ya.

I think a good photo/video OP would be Fatih and Scott modeling the open back attire while on the North Pier shooting for some YP. I also think Keith should be doing the Olive challenge on dry land, while Jim, his wife, and me, are Executives in charge of production

I forgot that Matt Rayl will be here, so if you want to put him "On The Spot", suggestions...

Sheesh!!!

Went to the general store in Bridgeton and damn near caught a head on with a little Mazda that was blowing in my lane.

That's the 3rd time this week. Kinda makes you think a bit and that your life is in the hands of someone else in the other lane.

The holiday weekend crazies are out.

Yeah, there are three maniacs in a new black Dodge 1500 and one of em catches large HSB, one catches lots of small YP and the other bought my supper. Thanks Keith.

I've been kidding esshup because everytime I see him, he's in a different, new vehicle. Always a Dodge, though.

Sparky, I'll bet that truck cost more than I paid for my 5 acres and luxurious trailer. Got to say tho that Scott works long hrs and deserves what nice toys he has.

Sounds like esshup has good taste. Does it have that new diesel in it?

Ben, I'm wondering if it came with a wheel lock key. The truck he rented when he came down for the conference didn't have one. A flat tire could have been an oopsy moment for sure.
