Still a hole deep in snow but there is water on the ice it will come off early. Will have the dock in by May, not me but the guys I pay to do it.
Going to get the boat out of storage and to the shop in the next week or 2, strip down the fixed fuel cell I want external water separator and filter I can access visually.
The ski boat is a Lund Tyee with a 115hp 2 stroke it is a big water fishing boat just stripped down for sking. I still have 1 last project boat at the daughters I would love to finish it but it needs to go do not have room for proper storage. Bought it for $100 will sell it for $2000 complete but not assembled and the restored motor needs a lower unit. I sold a couple boats to pay for the pontoon and the tyee. I only pay cash for toys.
Took the boat out for a shake down yesterday. Nice when everything works and runs right out of winter storage. Fishing sucked but it was great to be out on open water again!
Lucky fishing suppressor. Nice to have in the tackle box when a big ol’ tasty snapping turtle sticks it’s heat out the water. Also, works for pirates… North Carolina has a long and storied history when it comes to pirates. If Edward Teach or William Kidd’s descendants decide to try and take my john boat I’ve got a very quiet surprise for them.
Don’t be… e-form 4 is live. You’ll still have to pay your $200 tithe to the church of the feds, but your wait should be a lot less than the 14 months that that one took. Think back to the first time you thought, “I’d like to get a suppressor” but then decided not to get it due to the 8-24 month wait and lack of instant gratification on a fairly expensive purchase… Well if you would’ve just gone ahead and done it the you would have had it years ago.
The govt will hook you up with that as well… and they don’t require a background check or a $200 tax stamp. https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP96-00788R001500140008-4.pdf
And also - f*** IL. And the federal govt. And the NFA. Goddam idiotic that owning whats basically just a hearing protection device for firearms is subject to a “sin tax” and a bs approval process that takes ages but is really just the same damn thing as the NICS check that takes less than a minute when you buy an actual firearm (you know, one that can actually fire projectiles, unlike the suppressor that just makes that process slightly less obnoxious).
Sorry y’all, my rant is over. Didn’t mean to commondeer the fishing thread with firearm talk. Simply pulled my lucky catfish fishin coozie out of winter storage (had her since high school - 2004) and wanted to post a photo and didn’t realize that one of my freedom sticks was in the photo and one thing led to another. Back to fishing… I’m really looking forward to the Spanish run this year. There is something about hand lines, planers, and beer that really gets me excited!
They watch movies and hear how silencers sound to base their decisions. They don't, however, watch movies to ban butcher knives, chainsaws, sling blades(scythes), cotton ropes, vampires, werewolves or alien creatures. Nor do they try to enhance sentences for criminals with stolen weapons that should be behind bars and not out on the street because Jussie Smollett is not suicidal.
At least they followed through with juicy mullet and put his ass behind bars even if its only like half a year (although it’ll probably only be a month or two in actually)
For 6 days, ***** is out looking for a new Subway to exploit after being released for not being suicidal, but had suicidal concerns.
Oh s***. I just googled jussi smullet to see how long he actually got. You gotta be ****ting me - he is already out?
Holy ****, I just saw that. Damn. I know one thing for sure… If I ever ever find myself in a situation where I need to change careers and pursue a life of crime, you can bet your ass that I’m gonna be moving to your state before I get started.
Going to head over to the farm in the morning while the ground is still frozen and get the boat out, better to get it fixed early than late. Plus first day the ice is out I want to go out for a few rips down the lake, there is nothing better than flying across the water full throttle.
Hey @virginiashadow , some smallie porn for you. A coworker caught this yesterday on the Snake River. Jigging around bridge pillars.
