Although I don't have a Facebook page, I do check on relatives and friends via their page. I learned today my good friend Scott died March of '22. He was best man at my wedding. Although we lost touch in recent years, he was a close friend when I lived in WI. Cause of death I don't know.

He is the sixth person I know who has died in the last 18 months from cancer, to a bike accident, to Covid.

I’m sorry for your loss, Greg. My best man, who was also my best friend for life, died six years ago from cancer. He was six months younger than me.
No one is promised tomorrow….

I've been offered $3500, cars and motorcycles in trade. No one has actually shown to look at it. One guy said he would and never showed up. I won't come off of 5k. Electric will be fixed later this month.

Grizzly, that's my side money I buy and sale boats, got quite a few right now hadn't had any time to get them ready to sale. I've got 7 now to work on when I get a chance and 3 others
that are mine and Kay's fishing boats so my barnyard is about full of boats 😂😂
Every time I think I'm about to get caught up something else comes up, just got a new lease on more pasture land and that means more work but also more cow's.. Fishing is coming up soon weather cools off a little bit 🎣🎣🎣

One guy showed up n another called n said if 1st guy doesn't take call me I want it.
First guy pretty much wanted it free. Then asked if I'd tow it to Lake Anna. Near Richmond VA.
No sale . Called other guy no answer.
.
Called about a nice v bottom. Going to get it next day. 1am I get a text they changed their mind. What a crock.
Called another guy. Said if it was as good as pics I'd take it. He saw to give him a couple days to clean it. Said that was necessary.
Looked 10mins later post was off Craigslist. Figured I got a boat never heard from the guy.
That's when I said forget it. I'll put small ob on the glastron..
Still have the ole girl.
Bob Slim n I fished outta it.
Plenty of room n stable.
The 15hp Merc Bigfoot does a nice job n easy on fuel.
No more boat deals for me 👍👍

I've been there, heard all kinds of stories. Most of the boats I sale are aluminum Jon Boats, I've got two just like the one that Greg has for sale, and a Lowe's 16' Big Jon with a 2021 Four Stroke 50 Yamaha, and so on....
I just like boats and enjoy fixing them...
