Sad day :-( boat goes bye bye

[kygorski]

Thinking of getting rid of mine also. down sized because of bush, but I've only used my boat 4 times this year. I was blaming it on arthritis, but then I realized,My arthritis has gotten worse since that SOB has been in office.Or maybe its old age,NAH, its obahma!

Sorry to hear. When a fella can't do what makes him happy it just stinks.

OBAMA IS THE DEBIL...Said in my very best Mama Booshay voice..

Old age ain't got nothing to do with me finally deciding to sell...the economy is a factor for sure. Not had a raise since 2007 but taxes, insurance and food have all risen quite a bit...plus the fact that my tow vehicles ain't getting any newer either. The wife and I are doing ok, could be better for sure, but we don't live beyond our means so we're ok.

But above this..it also depends on where a man is at in his life, what was important to him at age 45 may not seem as important to him at age 50 so to speak...which also has a little bit to do with my decision to sell.

I gave up fishing because of medical problems when i was in my mid 50's (had a back problem and just couldn't spend any time in my boat), I kept the boat for a couple years then sold it and then had to have the surgery which went really well for me and after I retired I bought another boat and changed my fishing style, can't chase bass anymore but found out it wasn't the fish i was after so now I get to fish a couple times a week and enjoy it as much as I ever did.. I didn't get bitten by the economy so was fairly lucky there, I have found out it is as relaxing as it ever was, I wish you guys who have gotten in a financial pinch all the luck in the world and hope all works out well for you.

Bush didn't hurt my family enough, to where I have to sell my boat. but my wife has worked all her life, and Bush Junior took enough from her 401k that she could have bought me a new boat. my friend, I hope Arthritis, Bush, and Obama leave you alone.
