Knute "The Heathen" gave me a call today in response to my proposal last week to fish the Ohio river. My boat hasn't been out of the barn since sometime last fall.
Got it hooked up to the big truck O.K. and put the muffs on it to start it. The old gal fired right up but coughed and sputtered a bit till she got warmed up. I'm sure she'll do fine tomorrow. I'll start her again tomorrow before I leave for the ramp.
This will probably turn into a "boat ride" but we will attempt to fish for whatever. I'm paying property taxes and license fees for the old tub so I might as well get some use out of her when I can.
It was "strange" hooking up to the trailer and then backing it back into the barn but I still remembered how to do it. I'll just take things slow and methodical when we launch.
