On second thought, it's been about 12 years since I talked to him. He may be retired by now, or payed back against a tree sleeping

Recently retired from near 26 years dispatching for Law Enforcement, Fire, and EMS. I'm not "officially" old enough to retire but it was time to get out of that rat race. People are changing, and NOT for the better, sad to say!!

Now I am working at many things; cows and calves, horses, taking care of mowing and maintenance on 3 homes, doing the books for the trucking business and trapping gophers. In about 2 months we'll be haying.

I'm already finding that I'm WAY too busy to have a full-time job again... LOL and I'm sure I'm leaving something off....

Indeed I did. Flew a few miles with Mr. Rip. He retired several years ago and sadly passed away last year.

The scardest I ever was in my life was in a Ranger boat.
Fishing a speck tournament on Galveston Bay, drew a guy in the club that had a 19 foot CC Ranger.
We were going across West Bay when I looked at the speedometer read 62
I said Billy if you will just stop I will get out and walk back. You can walk across that bay on most any given day
it is only 4 to 5 foot deep and full of oyster reefs. Never got in that boat again I had no desire to commit suicide.
If we had hit Karankawa reef at low tide they would have never found us.

CB if he had it trimmed out there was only about 18 inches of the boat in the water. I cut a sand bar in two once....guy in the passenger seat ended up at the front of the boat. She just kept on churning til she got thru the sand bar, reared up and took off again. On a smooth lake mine would peg the speedometer. I was much younger then. I"m happy now with a flat bottom and a 7.5 horse Evinrude. :lol2:

18" is 17" to much when you find an oyster reef in the bay. :shock: You can push through sand and mud.

The builder that I do alot of work for invited me out on his boat its one of those big 30 something foot sleek speed boats and we were taking it down to the beach from near where I live and never will I get on it again he had to be going over 100 cause the wind was practically forcing my mouth open he had a big block motor on it and that thing was cutting the wind. He was laughing the whole time.
