Dock Talk / Re: What's Up Jan 2025
Last post by Bud Kennedy - Today at 06:26:10 PMJanuary has lived up to its tradition of cold weather here at the beach. We have been seeing highs in the 50s but lows down into the mid to upper 20s has been very common the past few weeks. This coming tuesday the weather folks are predicting a chance for snow, sleet and freezing rain. Frozen parcipitation is very rare this close to the coast but not uncommon each year out around the I-95 corridor that is about 95 miles from here. Just have to wait until tuesday for a more real forecast for for sure it is gonna be very very cold with highs in the 30s and lows in the teens. Had to dig out my coast from our Chicago days but even with the heavy coats it is still cold. Don't know how I stood it back when I was a kid in Ohio.
Bowling is still going ok but not fantastic. Back pain persists along with my breathing problems thanks to copd. As I am now heading for 80 I guess this is what I should expect. I am bowling two leagues per week and I can tell you that after each league night I am quite tired just after three games. I am working on my legs strength to try to help the situation but I am somewhat limited by just how much exercise I can pull off but am still trying to do a little each day.

Dock Talk / my rod came in a shipping tube...
Last post by Hobious - Today at 03:37:54 PMI was on then phone with work when I walked into the house. just talking and I looked at the rod my wife placed in the hallway. I thought, "hmmm, the end cap is black". wait..second look, "the end cap is missing!"
I pick it up. snap a photo in case I needed evidence. and I told the caller, I had to go. I look inside and my rod is still there!!! most shippers typically tape on end to the cap so it doenst slide out. I go to then other cap to see, and my wife lifts the tube and the rod slides out. waaaaahhhh!! I got lucky!! I quickly check the rod and it is correct and seems undamaged. I return the work call and finish up that business.
afterwards..I noticed. the seller forgot to tape one end. it's not like I orders an UGLY STICK. hahahha...
I got lucky. sent the store an email, so they know. but whatever. this rod feels "LUCKY" already!!!

Whew we've had all kinds of weather this week here in Central Texas
Our forecast for today is 42-59dgrs with 64%humidity with a S wind @ 19mph. Its going to be mostly cloudy with the high being 59dgrs and really windy 
Well the Almighty Above has Bless me with this day. He's allowed me to reach the age of 69yrs old. He's looked over me and I'm thankful for that I never though I was going to get to be at this age
It's been a frustrating week on the vehicle repair side of life. The diesel still isn't completed with the Module Power Component being reattached to the engine and Wiring Harness replacement. The Check Engine Light came on in the Trail Blazer. We took it to the Chevy Dealership for repairs. They had to replace the Turbo Charger and connecting components; new battery due to the Negative Terminal was broken and leaking acid onto the Negative Cable. The cable had to be replaced. The Turbo and components were under Warranty. We had to pay for the battery and cables.
We brought the vehicle home Wednesday and Thursday Morning had to take it back due to the check engine light came back on. The Service Department just called and the Cooling Fan Assembly Fan Controller has shorted out now. I told them to call General Motors and find out if this was under warranty. The vehicle has Bumper to Bumper 60,000 mile warranty on it. This issue is an Electrical one. If the repairs aren't under warranty then we stuck with paying $ 1,783.36 dollars for the repairs.
My daughter has decided to sell the Diesel once all the repairs have been completed. She's going to trade the Trail Blazer in also. She informed me to go and look at the Jeeps. We found one that was fully loaded >Sahara Model<. We took a bunch of pictures and sent them to her. She's looking at a Lease Contract option for this but she also asked what Out Right Buying Deal can she get. The dealership is putting together the Lease Package deal for me to send to her.
We might be getting a 2025 Jeep Sahara here soon
Other than what mention above LIFE is Great. We're going out for big steak dinner tonight for my birthday. The evening is being paid for by my daughter
To everyone hope your day today has been a good one. Be safe during your travels if you're out and about. Lastly be mindful of your surroundings while being out and about.

Louisiana / Re: The Other Bass --- Sac-A-L...
Last post by Nutoy - Today at 11:52:22 AMLove me some Sac-A-Lait.
In the last few years, bass fishing has taken a back seat to Crappie(Crappy) fishing for me.
I haven't filleted a bass in over 25 years. I've always targeted Crappie for the table.
We used to put a personal 14" limit on them, but since Toledo Bend removed the 10" min years back, it's getting harder to find the "slabs".
