He's packin' his whole A game program, at least to date. You start cruising up the river, checking some numbers for your prop guy. The other half says " He's comming". So you step it up a little, thinking to yourself "if this is what he wants WTF". Mid eighties he's spent so you run it out, pull a little distance on him, just to make the point, and call it done.

Back on the dock you graciously pass it off as just F'n around, though you do by all rights have one in your pocket, understand he may have some dialing in left to do, and agree to try it another day. Agree to wait and see who can make the most of what they have.

So just who was lookin' for who here?

Who was the stand up guy?

Is it odd that the Butt Cam must have broke, as well as the bow cam?

You're a pretty fair minded guy, so what do you think here?

No drama here! Just good ole' ball busting!

As I stated before, all the parts were there on Sunday, just got to dial it in. Testing for me as well, but I may not have showed the hole cards yet. Relax Pete, you do have one in your pocket. Wait till we do it again, if the results are similar, so be it. The cameras were for me, not for you or to show anyone in front or behind. They will make for some cool videos at some point!

Well that wasn't exactly the way it was termed, but .

Now you're fair with a wrench, willing to tear into that secret ext box install and all. The next little project would be a little over your head, need a little help from Cooter or Larry did you?

Maybe I need to keep an eye on the old HBW Dock Cam, you think?

Ah! The joy of Victory , and the agony of admitting defeat .

You bring your A+ game and maybe I'll give you a shot at it. Wouldn't want the flock to think I was being unfair after you got caught with you pants down. That wouldn't be the stand up thing to do here. Oh, I'm real sorry I didn't show you the recall number earlier. I sure would have if you had just asked. I guesing your mind was elsewhere, and forgot to ask or just thought you already knew.



Now is when you come back with the "I was just sizing up the opposition".

I count 4 forums that one-time speedo pic is posted in now.

I like the one in the prop forum...

"I put this number up every time, all afternoon"

don't mislead the viewing public now...

wasn't that more accurately once, on one afternoon?

It was NEVER termed any which way. You keep making the terms, and I haven't agreed to any of them, except I get more time to test. Re-read the posts, you even agree that there are no rules.....Do what you have to do, but if I were you, I wouldn't be to concerned. 94 is going to be tough for me to get to, but hey...I gotta try with what I have don't I?

I'm not going to change my original plan. Whatever that plan may be. Secrets and stratigies are two different things. Just working with what I got.

Remember, you started at 86mph when you tested your boat...now you are at 94. Was that a good guess or did you have to work at it? Get my point?

You seem very concerned with my program and I'm not sure why.

Dave
