Why is there so much "crap" in the water? The guys in front of you that scared?

My dad would be watching Wild America or some other wildlife show and he would say something like "shoot, that lion could never catch me.....He would be slipping in too much shit"

Jim, looks like I wont be coming up that way until next sat.
I could bring up my T-tank, if you want to borrow it.

jim brock · « **Reply #42 on:** January 16, 2010, 10:25:10 PM »

Thanks, but i just ordered a new one from Imco on tuesday,they said it will take 7 to 10 to build, arn't you going to need it for ming??

76 Bonneville · « **Reply #43 on:** January 16, 2010, 10:46:15 PM »

Now that you ordered a new one, I'm sure a couple of used ones will come up for sale.

The T-tank is for the kids new Rogers, it wont be ready for quite awhile.
I'll still be running the orange one, you know the "family boat"

Luckie Stiff · « **Reply #44 on:** February 03, 2010, 05:30:45 PM »

Well if nothing else, the seat is done!

Sorry for the blurry pic, I just barely taught Jim how to take and send pics with his phone, next week we'll work on focus and file size.

Luckie Stiff · « **Reply #45 on:** February 08, 2010, 06:39:22 PM »

Jim's actually been working on the boat lately, he sent me some pics to prove it.
Here's some shots of all the work involved in getting your intake to sit at the angle you want it.
Jim told me the bottom of the boat is like 1.25" thick. He took out up to .6250" to make this happen.

Who says you can't teach a old dog new tricks!

Jim doing pic's?

Are there pigs flying outside?

jim brock · « **Reply #47 on:** February 08, 2010, 11:12:44 PM »
