Talked to a 30 yr great friend today, it's been a couple of years Dang the crazy stuff Tony and I have gotten into, in reality, neither of us should be alive with all the stunts we pulled for a dollar or to save a dollar Talked to my old friend yesterday, he finally called He has the same ailment as me, they took his right leg off above the knee 6 months ago, he is in deep depression Feeling kinda bummed, he was also a circuit pitmaster Smokes a mean rack of ribs

I would lift and shove it back off the landing and go get in the back from the dock , then I could motor her around anywhere to fish with her all the way in the bow the boat pushed a bit more water and I lost 3mph off the top end but 17mph with a smooth ride was good enough to get her out fishing and cruising the river. it's hard not to get a little sense of Tom Sayer Huck Finn Mississippi river exploration feeling cruising and floating the big muddy the islands and back waters , side channels and sloughs you almost never see it all America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Figure if I can get him on the bow to pull the jugs, It may bring a old sparkle to his eyes, getting past the depression is the problem. We have been thru alot together Some folk on here have met him, I dragged him to a NTA convention in Mansfield, Ohio 20 plus years ago we stayed with Belin in the teepee, Berlin and Tony hit it off great

I hobble around the trapline now like a 80 year old BUT at least i can still hobble around, fall around more like it. Buzz once he gets all healed up should get fitted for a prosthetic leg, might get more mobility back than he thinks. Still sucks! Not my circus, not my clowns.
