[QUOTE=raporter;516089][I]Not that much difference in gas milage between 2 and 4 wheel drive in todays trucks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for the reply about the 2WD vs 4WD. I'd like to have a 4WD truck as the ramps around here get slippery with algae on them. And I have almost slid my truck into the lake once when launching on those slippery algae filled concrete launch ramps. I had to get a guy to tow me up the ramp with his truck. Once my back tires get in the water and on that algae they don't have any tractions. I have been known to go over to the ramp with a big broom and scrub the algae off the concrete. It's hard work but it's better than having to scuba dive out in the water to retrieve my truck if it slips all the way back into the water. I've saw a guy up at Patoka Lakes Fisherman's Camping Site lose his truck when he backed down and went all the way into the water. He must have hit the gas pedal instead of the brake while in reverse.
I saved some of them to my old computer and then to an external hard drive. I can use that external hard drive to hook up to my new computer to transfer them into the new computer.
The trouble is I didn't save all my old way points. I lost some of them a few years back and only managed to save a few that were in the external hard drive.
I did manage to write all the waypoints down on a Fishing Hot Spots Waterproof Log Book that I bought at Gander Mountain a while back. So I have all the waypoints from my Garmin eTrex Vista copied into that log book now. All I have to do is enter them into a computer program like Humminbird PC or Easy GPS (heard of this one but never used it before ..yet) and then upload them from the computer into my new Montana. That's going to take me a while to figure out how to do. I've not used Humminbird PC much either. So I'll have to learn how to use those programs before I can do this.
About 10 years ago I went down to KY lake to fish with a few friends in a tournament. A friend gave me three pages of his waypoints while I was there. I still have them in a book somewhere in the house. He's been fishing that area of KY Lake for over 60 years since he was a kid. These are waypoint of crappie fishing spots in the Big Sandy area. I've not used them since I don't fish that area of KY Lake. I use to fish about 20 miles from there but since my father passed I don't go there anymore either.
PS: thanks for the other replies. I liked the one about the seat belts almost strangling the guy when someone opened the back doors. I could see that happening to me.![]()
