They say...

They say that the two happiest days of owning a boat is the day you buy it,
and the day you sell it. That's aint exactly true...


While Brandon (aka: Inky) was extremely happy this morning as Steve and I
were giving him boating lessons, I quietly felt as though I was losing a
small part of me. It wasn't a happy day for me, even though I was ready to
sell my belived Nitro. I was happy to see it going to someone who I felt
would take care of it, and I have to say that Brandon is one lucky son of a
gun.

1. He picked up a sweet boat at a great price...
2. Is going to have Steve Huber as a father in law...
3. Has a wife-to-be that, while expecting a baby, let's him make a boat
purchase...

He's going to be a happy man all the way around. I liked him as soon as I
met him.

As for me... I'm not totally out of fishing, but will be taking a little
break from it for awhile. My wife and kids are already telling me that my
next boat is going tobe a pontoon boat, but I'm not too sure about that.
Afterall... I'm the one who will be paying for it. I also plan on taking
Joe, Terry, and Jack up their offers to fish with them, but only when I feel
desperate about wanting to catch some fish. It will be interesting being a
non-boater for awhile, but next weekend I'll be taking possesion of a 2006
Honda Shadow VLX Deluxe that ought to make up for what I've given up.

My Mom says it's mid-life crisis... I'm almost convinced.

Goodbye Nitro...
