I'm going to ski as much as possible. Both Cross country and downhill. Probably going to make a trip to Utah to ski with friends. Let it snow!!!!!!


Already a lot of snow at some of the better resorts. Which resorts are you planning on going to?

My old college roommate lives in Paradise at the southern end of Cache Valley. I went to Utah State. We'll probably just ski Beaver Mountain, his family has a pass, and backcountry in Logan Canyon. However, Snow Basin is my favorite ski area in Utah.

I will be learning how to make leaders.

I really want to learn how to make baits of some sort but have no idea where to start. So I guess for now it will be leaders. Unless of coarse there is someone out there that is willing to teach a old fat guy a new trade!!!! LOL

I will also be working on my 20' Crestliner making a box for the front where the seat mounts. I am wanting to put a taller pole so that I can use a butt seat verses sitting so low to the boat. Wished Crestliner had a pole long enough to allow a person to be able to stand and lean against a seat. So this will be a something I work on in the winter@!!!!



Check w/ Springfield. They made a "Custom" post for my father-in-law a few years back. The price was very reasonable for "custom". Hope this helps.

I have check every where and talked to the sales rep that sold me the boat I could not find anything long enough. Everyone basically said the same thing as far as using a long pole in that the bracket that mounts to the floor and holds the rod would eventually come loose in time.

I know someone on here said something about making a box and fitting it in the front of the boat so that it is level with the front deck and then mount a bracket and pole on the box. I think they had made one for theres and the frame was made out of metal for sturdiness and covered up in marine wood.

So that is kinda the way I am leaning towards is making a box to fit and see if that will hold up my fat arse!!!!!!

The yahoo needs to read the title of the thread. Perhaps he might catch on.....I doubt it though.

I'm am impressed he's read all my posts. Maybe I will make him an honorary member of my fan club.


Good idea, add him to you and that will bring it up to 2, and then you can refer to it as a "group".

Indoor Football, Indoor Baseball training, Kung Foo, and some Hockey for my Boy's. I'm just the driver and the guy who writes the checks. Working on a floor hockey rink in the basement, I'll have it completed this weekend and every kid in the neighborhood will be over. Just a few blue lines to mark and get one more net and it's done.

Suppose I'll be ice fishing, coyote hunting, shed hunting come spring and sanding my cork rod handles, lubing the bearings on the reels and color coding by lure type with all my gear, lol. Maybe 2011 will allow for more time on the water for me. . . Oh yeah, and I'm gonna try to find my hair, it seems to be thinning.

hopefully those are good calories and not coming from burger king, ice cream, cake, etc....otherwise it wont be good....very difficult to consume that many calories coming from qaulity food like chicken breast, lean red meat, protein supplements, salmon, fish, baked potato, oatmeal, etc...10k calories coming from quality food you will probably need to be eating constantly (no fast food)..hopefully your working out twice a day too. Otherwise its only a matter of time unitl you look like a humpty dumpty.

Thanks for the info. It has been really hard finding food with that many calories but I eat a good breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I also have to eat a lot of things like peanut butter sandwhices, nuts, and protein bars between all these meals. During a day I normally end up with about 6-7 meals.

Unfortunately, we have fed our cat a little excessively, even counting the times when he HASN'T managed to chew his way into the cat food bag and bloat himself. After spending a winter and a half rodent free, this winter had a litte batrd show up in the pantry, tearing things up and making a mess at a rapid pace. Quickly mounted the standard trap defense and the little batrd licked the peanut butter right off the pans of 3/4 traps. Tip: Dollar store traps have frightfull excessive springs in them, but mediocre triggers. If they are triggered they will nearly cut the little twerps in half, but...

Anyway, changed the bait from peanut butter to good old Kraft sliced cheese and smooshed it on the pan and smeared a little under the trigger bar. Cheese kind of hardens when on a trap, much like it hardens in your arteries, great stuff. Can't lick that off! Got the little batrd!!

Nothing beats the manlyman feeling like protecting the tribes food resources from the ravages of wild animals...

thats good....if u want to get real crazy....you can always set your alarm clock at around 3 or 4am to wake up and eat another meal too - then back to sleep - that works good too.

Very nice FSF!!!! We're holding on to 7+ years of cat defended rodent freedom. Have seen a few outside, but none are brave enough to cross the line. I hate that dang cat, but he's done his jobs well (sleep, eat, sleep, sleep, freak mice out somehow, and stink up the litterbox).

My guess is the cat probably says the same about you.

Ah yes, decon, but alas the little critters die in the walls and under the floor, and when the carcasses warm up it will stink. And it will stink baaaaaaaaad.

I am going crazy I have to get my muskie fix!! Here are a couple pictures of where I use to fish when winter froze me out. The Gulf of Mexico off from alabama actually Gulf Shores Alabama. We use to catch redfish and sheephead consistantly. Now I am worried the fishery is damaged too bad for any kind of sucess.

We have 5 cats (long story), and they let the mice invade at will. Sue has traps everywhere, however, and gets them pretty easily. Try caramel next time, works like a charm.

Not to come off sounding like a know it all, but unless you're running a marathon every day, there's no way you're eating 10,000 cal/day and not gaining weight. Most likely, you aren't getting the amount of calories you think you're getting. How do you measure your food?

Not to sound like a d*ck, but this is something I deal with all all of the time and I work with some of the top "weight gain professionals" in the world.

Trust me, I understand that. I can help you out. What is your current weight? Are you trying to dirty bulk or clean bulk?

One thing to do is to get a kitchen scale so you can measure everything you eat. Then, go to a site like www.nutritiondata.com and calculate exactly what you're eating. Keep a journal to track what you're eating and you have a base reading. You can adjust your diet accordingly. This goes for people trying to lose or gain weight.

One of my training partners is currently trying to go from 360 to 375 in the next 8 weeks to help him hit a 900 lb deadlift. In order to eat his target of 7000-8000 cal/day, he's chugging whole milk and putting olive oil on everything he eats. Those two things are key to gaining "dirty" weight.
