    The tide charts for the Manatee River then next 4 days. Prime tanning time for my wife, and after noon so I won't get the "look" for having an open beer while I cast.:woot:I will be wearing sweats over my shorts for the drive to the airport.

    Son that didnt grow for 2 years bc he was sick is finally starting to grow. Since he started receiving monthly blood immunoglobin he has started to fight back. 13 months after receiving treatment he has grown like 5 inches and gained 25lbs.

    Daughter is 2 for 2. I don't think she will even apply to any more schools.

    Finally figured out the correct beer to shrimp ratio, 3 dozen shrimp to a 6 pack of beer.

    That depends on the size of the shrimp does it not?

    I am using medium sized, if you time your fishing with the tide the action is fast. I am tempted to buy 4 dozen today but would have to run back to shore for my wife to pee before the bait is gone.

    It’s not the size of the shrimp that counts, it’s all about it’s motion in the ocean

    Guess I was thinking that you were EATING 3 dozen shrimp-not using them for bait. LOL

    Well, he didn't include the cocktail sauce in the ratio, so it was kinda obvious #contextclues

    Going up Saturday to pick up 1000 pounds of corn then spend the afternoon with my grandson. Does it really get any better?

    Just got back from Atlantis with my girls and it was the best vacation we have gone on. I cherish every second with them but time seems to be getting away from me.

    Just wait till they get older, time is a precious commodity. How was it? I have seen the commercials, crowded?

    Oh boy as a Minnesotan I can tell you that hockey is a very expensive sport. Kids don't just play during hockey season, there are camps and summer leagues, oh yeah the skates get spendy. Not to age myself but when I was young a hockey stick was $5 now you can spend well over $100.
