whatever happened to the prizes in cereal?  Great scam.  I may have to look up the Kelloggs chick (as if I haven't already) and see what she says about the prizes.

 

Kids started choking on them, "Oh look sweetie you got a plastic captian crunch balloon race car, you can collect all 5 collors, and race your freinds, what your only 2 years old, oh ok just sit there and suck on the colorfull  toy that drives your attention and taste like sugar. " Hey where the wheel from the captn crunch race go?

 

My favorite cereal, was QUISP.

I can't tell the whole story but...

I think I may have told this around Valentines Day.  Before I was married I met two gals around the same time and it was mid December.  One worked in my office building and one lived in my apartment building.  One I still live with and the other was "The Kelloggs Chick" which my wife still refers to her as.  Anyway I was living the dream and I don't mean in Bemidji...I had the whole world figured out and had even dodged the fact that when one came to my office or the other came to my apartment I was so smooth that neither one knew about the other one.  

On or around Feb 12th I got a call at work asking what we were doing for V day.  As I was talking to that one the other buzzed in on the intercom on hold and I knew I was screwed.  Only in a bad 1980's sitcom could a guy go out with two different women on Valentines Day.  What's humorous is that I dumped my present loving wife for the other but eventually switched that around.  The Kelloggs Chick looked pretty close to Marissa Miller, the SI Swimsuit gal.  I'm not kidding.  When Deb saw her one time months later at our apartment pool she said to me, "you dumped her for me?"   I think Deb had urges for the Kelloggs chick too!!!  Just kidding.  

Besides being very good looking she was very nice too and the bonus was free Kelloggs items.  Literally "its free" applied.

No Kellogs girls in the past for me [although I would of been a Kellogs fan real fast with that one], but I did have a few walleye girls in the past [ had a few story's about those also, but that's deer camp stuff].  Stayed in the woods the majority of my life.  Cracklin oats is something I really liked when I did eat cereal.  Oatmeal most of the time.  good luck.

you ever canoed with a bossy woman?  You've got to have some harmony with your fellow canoe mate and frankly taking a canoe ride with a prospective spouse probably would be better than that marriage inventory churches have people do.  

My sister has been married 30 plus years and I was there the first time her and her, then boyfriend, got done with their canoe adventure.  She had to be in the back of the canoe steering and when the canoe hit the shore he got out and she started barking more orders at him.  It was late Fall.  He picked up the front of the canoe high enough to fill the back of the canoe with water and walked away.  That set the stage for a wonderful marriage.

:lol:

Why, yes, yes I have canoed with a bossy woman. I am very glad that Mrs. Cheviot no longer desires to go in the boat (canoe or otherwise) with me. When she determined all I wanted to do was fish, that was pretty much the end of it. Speaking of that, wonder how bobber is coming with that shower over on the Good Morning thread. Haven't heard from him in a while so someone better check on him before he comes out of there looking like a prune. ;):D

I was in a canoe once with a gal on the Brule river in Cheeseland.  She wanted to steer even after I told here that there were going to be a few S curves with good moving water there.  No problem, she's done it plenty of times.  I believed her since I hung out with outdoor gals.  Well she made all the curves and rapids like a pro.  Then we came to a pool that was real tame.  Had only one boulder right in the center of it on the tail end of the pool.  She wasn't paying attention [same with me], while we were taking a few casts for trout.  We drifted into that boulder and tipped the canoe over.  It was over our heads there and while I had the tackle boxes tied on to the canoe the beer was slowly drifting away.  I left her there swimming to shore and I went after the beer.  We both laughed about it.  I got the beer cooler back and the canoe back in working order.  She was doing so great and then to bump into that boulder on a slow drift was something we talked about for awhile.  I blamed her and she blamed me but it was all in good fun.  She didn't want any kids, so that ended that, but we left as good friends.  That conoe talk brought back memories.  good luck.

Good story RH.  And yes memories sometimes are better than trying too hard to make something happen and then regretting it.  AND Dotch, thanks so much.  How did you know I was wondering if she was even a real woman or a figment of LL's Imagination.  She is hot.

And RH's post reminds ME of a time I was canoeing the Black River in 'sconsin, with a female accomplice at the stern. ( I have no idea how that happened)  Headed for a short stretch of some fair boiling rapids, with about a 4' drop. Shouted Paddle! Paddle ! Paddle! She was...in reverse strokes. Hit the rapids, then nosed straight down...and that's how the canoe hung for about 30 seconds, before it went over sideways. I'll leave it at that....:whistle:

JMD-  my wife went to ASU and what's this wondering about Cherrios???   Finally, I'm not sure what oreo chick means but we may have to wait til after 11pm to hear about that :) 

You let the gal drive the canoe for obvious reasons.  Nowadays I'd just tell Deb she's too light to be in the back and the canoe will steer bad.  She'd be laughing the whole time and unable to steer anyway.

I have to admit I wonder what an "oreo Chick" is too.  I have thought about getting a canoe but I remember when I was a youngster we canoed a lot.  At least half of the time it ended as a swimming canoeing combo.  Sometimes by choice sometimes not.  I think I will think pontoon boat instead of a canoe.

Ok got it jmd1.  Thanks.  So most women and men for that matter fill that mold.  The "Average Man is the best of the worst or the worst of the best".  That is the words of Dan the Common Man on KFAN.  Think about it, most of us fill that mold.

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
