Was really planning to do the Ohio River for a solo all nighter with a launching out of Brandenburg. It was about 9:30, moon was rising, winds calm, and I was just heading out to start hooking up the rig. As I walked out the garage, and looked at the truck, then the boat sitting there, I looked up to the moon, and was just taking the first step toward the truck when it hit me. Felt like a cold chill running up my spine. Then a second or 2 of dumb-foundedness, followed by a blast of anxiety that made my hair stand on end, and jolted me with a quiver of fear for what seemed to be absolutely no apparent reason. I know nobody was outside with me, I saw no one around. The words "Not tonight, don't do it", popped into my mind, and just kept repeating for what seemed like forever. In reality, it was just a couple seconds I guess. But it left me feeling like somebody was standing beside me and talking into my ear. Again, I got a quick chill. At that point, I just turned around and walked back into the garage, and closed the garage door. I came inside to the kitchen, and looked over at the wife watching TV in the family room. She looked up from the TV with a funny look on her face, and said "I thought you were going fishing......but you look like you just saw a ghost......what's wrong?" I stood there for a second looking at her, and then mumbled "I don't know if anything is wrong, I just for some reason don't feel like tongiht is a good idea". She sat there and stared at me while I stared back for awhile. I finally broke the gaze, grabbed a bottle of cold water, and sat down to watch some TV. It took about 15 minutes for my pulse to slow down. The chills were gone. For the life of me, I don't think I've ever had this kind of jolt, or premonition before. Makes me kind of think there really is somebody or something out there looking out for fisherman. Hope this doesn't get to be a habit. You don't think I've actually matured to the point that taking risks is now logically not the right thing to do? Hmmmmmmm...........well, I guess we'll rest on it, and see if it happens again.
