a decade or so ago on a river far far away

ok it was the sky at two bit circa 94

well anyway
as we argued the merits of wood vs alum in drifters a certain freind accompaning his new female companion cited on how wood was basically better as a fish platform untill he overstepped his waders and minus the expletives the show was on


so? the new found lady was impressed with his command of our language while he poured 8 gallons of near artic water from his waders as he had overstepped his reach

now remember this is launch at 2 bit
water is calm attitudes are calm etc

ok
so now that a certain freind has watered his legs at about 15 degrees ambient? he cranks on the "mr" heaters onboard like any civilized person would do?
untill


the pos 1927 tank that he aquiered for 2 dollar is/has sprung a leak

so?
we have a sub zero temp day
we have a wood drift boat
we have a dude that has freezing nads
and full wet waders

now? the tank spanks a rossi

fire in the hole
sputnik goes airborn?
propane fire in a wood boat:)


anyway long story short

the propane fly"s into the drink
the gal freind rides out with us
the feet ? well you know that one
and the storie? it goes on


i love the stories
