I just bought a new boat and decided to take 'er for the maiden voyage this past weekend.
This is my first boat and I wasn't quite sure of the exact Standard Operating Procedures for launching it off a ramp, but I figured it couldn't be too hard.
I consulted my local boat dealer for advice, but they just said "don't let the trailer get too deep when you are trying to launch the boat".
Well, I don't know what they meant by that as I could barely get the trailer in the water at all!
The stupid truck would die and start floating before the trailer even got close to deep enough!
What am I doing wrong? Should I load the truck down with some lead or maybe rocks so it doesn't float?
Anyhow, here's a picture. See for yourself. What am I doing wrong?

This boat claims 2000 horsepower (well add 'em up - 8 X 250 = 2000). I find it had to believe it's just a big rubber raft...

The ice has been growing daily @ 10-15 degrees F. So we have been out on the ice doing the "fishing thing". Today was really sloopy ice and hard to get where we wanted to go. But we did have some nice 15 inch crappies as the pictures do not lie.
We even had some old farts with us...

I had a chance to fly in a plane (they called it an Otter). It was made in 1952. I was designated as the person next to the pilot (hense, co-pilot). There were 5 of us + the pilot. We flew 100 miles into a remote spot in Canada for some fishing. Get a load of the sign on the instrument panel in front of me...

This year we (eight of us) decided we would take our dad's fishing. We drove to Wintrop Harbor, IL. Camped for a week. Caught coho salmon every day we could get out. Here is a picture of some of us (dad's too) cooking some of the day's catch.
Fishing was slower than past years (all over). Can't explain it. No one seems to know why. Everywhere I fished this summer was VERY slow. Many times if ya got a bite, you were lucky.

The neighbors were celebrating just before Memorial Weekend. They went through 3 bottles of Henessey Cognac, in shots, by noon! My friends stuck to the beer (thank God).
One dude was soooo blasted that he fell backward of the table. So, in the groups infinite wisedom, they tied him to the table with a dog leash. He finally ended up taking a header into a tree stump smashing the F**k out of his face. After talking to "Ralph" for an hour he then passed out. Next day it looked like a bear attacked his head!
I'll be pretty much incommunicado for a while due to summer activities away for the Internet (and cell phones). Catch you when I can...

I am working on a project involving the Fire Rescue Training Center and the Training Chief invited me to sit in on a firefighting training session to get a better sense as to how training works. The one I went to was called Flashover Training. We all sat in a modified shipping crate and observed the full life cycle of a fire. At a certain point, the fire gets hot enough that even the gas coming from it spontaneously catches fire (flashover). We were in there about 25 minutes and the fire reached a temperature of about 900 degrees and as you'll see from the attached picture, I was in full fire resistant bunker gear. It's pretty cool, I learned that the bunker gear is tested to withstand 14 seconds of continuous fire (meaning they blast it with a flamethrower for 14 straight seconds to see if it works).
It was a pretty amazing experience. I am enjoying my time in Fire Rescue and look forward to doing as much hands-on activities as I can to learn about the department. And in case you are wondering, I am not thinking about becoming a firefighter now, but the training only added to the respect I have for these people.

This one that did not get away
Bud and Mary's Marina, mile marker 80 (Islamorada Key - Florida Keys). Where I spent many hours as a kid helping the charter boat captains with their mundane tasks. Most of the people I knew are dead or gone now. A few old timers remembered me from when I was 6-8 years old.

This trophy Tarpon was caught and released off South Miami Beach
Played the fish for about 1/2 hour
When the 10 foot leader reaches the rod tip, the fish is officially caught and released
Shot of the fish "catching some air"
We caught 7 all total
The trip lasted until 11:00 pm
My arms are sore!!!- Posted Apr 10, 2008 8:37 pm PT

Been a while...
First dive was the ONE from Hell:
Lost my snorkel off my mask entering the water (found it as we got back)
My weight belt dropped and I had to re-attach it under water
My compass clouded over so we got lost under water
My BCD failed to empty all my air so I was Yo-Yoing up and down
Hard to believe this picture has me smiling...
Used a lot of air - Dive lasted 30 minutes2nd dive was textbook perfect
Navigated with a new compass
Saw wrecks and lots of colorful fish
Was down for over an hour with 1000 PSIG to spare
Had to surface, my buddy only had 500 PSIG left
Happy underwater breathing...- Posted Apr 8, 2008 8:20 pm PT

Imagine when I got this image and showed it to friends. It certainly looks like an atomic bomb went-off on the horizon
However, we we fishing (thus the poles on the left). The sun was just coming up. Too bad the horizon is not flat. I have been trying to adjust for that, but no luck yet.

Have not been diving for a while. This shot was taken, 120 feet down, when I dove on the USS Dwayne, a ship they sunk in the Florida Keys just for divers. Plan a trip soon.

The picture shows that this soldier has been thru Survival School and learned his lessons well. He's giving the sign of 'coercion' with his left hand . These hand signs are taught in survival school to be used by POW's as a method of posing messages back to our intelligence services who may view the photo or video. This guy was obviously being coerced into shaking hands with Hillary Clinton. It's ironic how little she knew that he would so inform us about the photo---perhaps because she's never understood our military to begin with.
If you consider that there have been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theater of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000.
The rate in Washington D.C is 80.6 per 100,000.
That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in our Nation's Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in
the nation, than you are in Iraq.........Conclusion : We should immediately pull out of Washington

We were ice fishing on Lake Superior last Wednesday (Jan 30). The winds were 35 mph PLUS, which made the windchill - 50 degrees. It was a white out. We were about 7-8 miles out. I caught one Coho salmon. Thank God for GPS or we probably would not have found our way back. It was scary to say the least. The next few days got better. Here is a picture of the Lake Trout we got on Thursday in 240 feet of water (10 miles out).
