Big Country are you looking for a boat?

[Wyndigo]

I saw an ad in todays paper, 14 foot aluminum boat $80, its up in the Gainesville area I think, the number is 352-596-6926
saw one of your other posts saying that your wife would kill ya if you bought one before a new house, but if its in good shape this isnt a bad price.

Wyndigo

[big country]

your right alan that's not a bad price but a boat is a boat and i ain't got her house yet....lol

[Wyndigo]

ahh Ok John, gotta keep her happy or like many of us "when the ladies arent happy with us, No one is happy" :) I do understand that, my girlfriend wasnt happy with all my fishing I was doing recently, but shes happy now that I'm working.
Take care

Alan

[big country]

yup, if momma ain't happy ain't no one happy.....lol

[Wyndigo]

lol soooooo true :D

[gofish]

HEY BIG
if you had a peice of ground,you should know enough people in
the building trades to put one up at a reasonable price,you know
some where under a millon$$$ work it just like trade a trip and exchange work for work,i will do the kitchen and bath design
at NO CHARGE.

Buy the boat quick and tell your wife you're turning it into a HOUSE BOAT! That way you kill two birds with one stone.

[big country]

what do i tell the boss whan i don't show up for work cause i took my house for a test run and the anchor got snagged in my fishing hole...lol
kirk i thank you fot the offer but i don't own a piece of land that i could do that to but when i do you'll be one of the first people i call...



and mohawk heres a better reply to your post,when i answered this morning i left a real brief message i had just woke up and hadn't knocked the cobwebs loose yet...
well it sounds real good and i can't wait to get turned on to a flathead,i might just have to come up one weekend and get it over with...hehehe

[gofish]

big country you put me up(room and board) if its when im laid off ill frame ,roof or drywall for ya.

[gofish]

oh yeah got to have a flathead trip too.lol

[big country]

go fish if you need a job that bad i can have working in five minutes down here,all trades down here are begging for good help you can almost name your price...
and as far as that flathead trip, i'm going on my first one in oct. at the fcc...

[gofish]

big country im plenty busy up here.normally help friends out in the winter when im laid off just to keep busy.my wifes got family living in venice and naples she could stay with them but even though theyre good people sitting around and gabbin about the kids and sightseeing arent my thing.if i had something to do though........

[big country]

you ought to come down with her and go fishing that don't slow down in the winter it just gets better if you ask me especially on the salt water side...
as far as me building a house not until i win the lottery cause being a plumber i ain't got that kind of money....hehehe
what trade do you mainly do????carpenter?
by the way there is no layoffs for winter time here it stays wide open,but for how much longer i don't know there gonna run out of room to build on soon...lol

[capt.kirk]

Dont you just love this site,friends helping friends,it dont get no better than
that,HEY BIG dont be telling us about poor plumbers,i have had to pay
them before:p
KIRK

[big country]

well you shoulda called me then, i went to a trades compitition about three years ago and finished second in the state.....
but i'm not bragging....:rolleyes: :p

[capt.kirk]

HEY BIG
thats a real good finishing place there is a tough competition,and you
should do very well as a plumber,i know she will get her house as soon
as possible and get your boat and GOD BLESS AMERICA everybody will
be happy around the wigwam.
KIRK

[big country]

yeah kirk but with the house market the way it is right now(sucks) it ain't worth a darn and she ain't getting that house soon enuff....every thing around here is way to over priced for what your getting....

[gofish]

big country i work for a general contractor.years ago did an apprentiship as a painter,got my journeymans card then had to give it up because of travel.(got custody of my daughter when she was 13 months) we do a lot of concrete,block,carpentry and roofing. i do most of the carpentry and roofing work plus foreman duties. im the git-r-done man anything we do i can do it.all i really want to do though is make furniture,but cant get anyone to pay the price i have to have for it.theyd rather buy particle board junk instead of solid wood.oh yeah........i like getting laid off in the winter cause i go fish.lol

[big country]

sounds like you stay pretty busy ......
i quess when layoffs come you can relax then huh....

[gofish]

im plumb tuckerd out by the end of october cuase i coach youth football and about beg to be laid off.also cant dress as warm for work as i can fishing still got to be able to move to work.cant move far in the boat.lol

[Stump Bumper]

John, I know that down here is where all the work is these days but I can't hardly stand it anymore. Another 6 or 7 years and I'm gonna get out of this rat race. Arkansas is calling my name louder all the time....LOL....When I get established out there, heck 10 years from now you and Kirk will have a good excuse to take a vacation with the family and come on out and see us....Ray

[hushpuppy]

Amen to that Brother Ray. Country roads take me home!

[big country]

ray the rat race is what mainly sent me to tennenessee,then when i got there i realized it was pretty but it wasn't home......so when that time comes i hope you find it the complete opposite for you... and yes we will have a reason for a vacation...

[capt.kirk]

RAY

BEVERELY HILLBILLY HO DOWNS,might bring ellie may and dasiy duke:p

[capt.kirk]

HEY BIG
the worst problem is it is not going to get any cheaper,to many people
from other places are laundering money by setting up dummy corperations
and purchaseing property here to clean up some dirty money,dont mean
to offend anyone but those ARABS got to go,and they can keep there
damn oil.:mad: i dont do politics or religon so i close with GOD BLESS
AMERICA,and death to OSOMA.
This is my opinion only and has nothing to do with the WIF site.

[big country]

kirk, my grandmother was half lebonese,thats all i say on that part.....
and why wait so long for the ho down????
and as far as politics go i think they suck....
are you going to try and fish with zakk (katmaster jr) when he gets down here?
and that thing about my g ma ain't true.......:p
i don't know what she was and don't care......

[capt.kirk]

HEY BIG
yes i am going to try and fish with zakk when he gets here,and all
anyone has to say is lets have a HO DOWN and pick a time and place,
as for the politics,i dont want to do it either,i was just trying to explain
why a hard working man such as your self and many others cant afford
to pay the prices that are going on down here,i may have went a little
over board on what i posted,i just call it as i see it,and also my grand paw
was full blooded jew and grandma was half cherokee and from cumberland
gap kentucky,i must have got up on the wrong side of the bed this am.
Now lets get back to fishing and all the fun things:cool: going to leave
about 8:30 for APOPKA MARINE in INVERNESS they are haveing a boat
show today with free food and a country band,thinking about getting
a suncatcher pb 18f poontoon,they are set up for fishing and have
everything to make a great catfish boat,not tradeing,but they can sell
my boat for top dollar,if you would like to see there products,

[big country]

well i hope they don't sucker you into a bad deal just like most car salesmen......

[capt.kirk]

HEY BIG
i have bought and sold boats for many years and have been in sales
of a lot of different things,if i get screwed its my fault,we just got back
from there and they have a first class operation,been in business 35 yr
and are the only yamaha dealer with a 100% satisfaction rating,man they
had some good music and had roasted 4 hogs and had all the side dishes,
