Good morning gentlemen,  was a nice sunny morning now it's clouded up. Well the whipper snapper has a softball tourney in sodak this weekend so we're getting ready to take off in a bit. Boy I don't know bout you guy's but my crops exploded the last few days,  all different kinds of peppers are not too far out from plucking,  fifty some maters on the four plants are coming along nicely.  Well you guys take care and have a great weekend,  time to point the ram westbound. ;)

Rolled into town about 5:30, man what a weekend in ol sodak. Tournament play was pretty tuff for the kids, most game times ran behind all weekend, especially this morning after the storm came through.  At 2:45 this morning lightning hit the hotel , the fire alarms went off until the local fire guys showed up and shut them off and cleared the hotel as safe, water heaters were out this morning  so that was not fun, but sure is nice to be back home.

No doubt about the weather there smurfy. It's really close outside as all the old ladies used to say. Could see some thunderheads already this a.m. in the west although they headed north looks like. Stuff might get more "interesting" than we'd like tonight here.

I think we received the heat down here in the swamp. I'm showing 88* on two digital gauges with gag-me humidity. Should be real nice come about five o'clock.....:sick:

All right I will quit complaining. We hit 65 and unless we get some sun there is no way we will hit 74 today.

She's at 90 here at the ranch presently.OK, only 89.9. I exaggerated. :D Gotta check and make sure everyone has water before I blow this pop stand. At least there's a breeze now.

Ya, nothing like a hot breeze to cool ya down, Dotch!  :D Reminds me of that commercial years ago from VW..".Like a hot wind from the Sahara".....gee, what a memory I have!

Just went by St. Olaf Lake a minute ago. Lotsa cars and guessing scantily clad women. Can't see the beach from the road however. Hafta drive over to Beaver Lake for that. :) 

Scirocco! Now there's a blast from the past. A friend from Kuwait had one of those when I was in college. He had lots of nice toys and let's just say he likely violated many of the teachings of his religion. He sure was a blast to be around though. :)

    • 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.
