Urgent prayers request! Just had a call from ole Catfish Hunter. Sounded pretty thoroughly smashed. Me: "You boys OK, homey?" "Oh yeah we're good. Almost at the Texas border, making pretty good time" ME: "Right on. Listen, I don't want you to fall asleep at the wheel or anything. Promise me you'll pull over if either of you starts nodding off, OK? Who's driving right now?" STX: "Brian is" ME:"OK, cool. Ask Brian if he's good to be driving for me" STX: "OK. Hey Brian, you OK to be still driving L wants to know...Oh, I guess he's asleep actually..." ME: "WHAT!?!" STX: "It's OK, we're pulled over here on the side of the highway" ME: "Wait, WTF? Never mind. I'm praying for you boys or whatever. Call me from county tomorrow. I'm good for bail if you need it" STX: "Appreciate that buddy" ME: "Our father, who art in Heaven, please look out for this pair of wayward Texan madmen..." You can't make this stuff up! One thing's for sure........................ I'm glad I "retired" from that lifestyle...............................mostly. I still sleep on the side of the road on long as hunting trips though. Usually no worry about needing bail.........................thankfully! Thanks for the update on the fellas.

To me, the first day of a road trip is a bit exhausting, maybe some fidgeting. All of the remaining days are a lot easier after your body gets used to not moving.

I just won't fly, and the road trip holds a lot of charm for me. Sorry we did not get to hook up. Hope to get y'all down again in the future.

made it home about an hour ago, stop at my son's windshield repair business so he could repair a couple of chips in the windshield, going to crash for a while.

As Bob Hagel would say"You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong."Good words of wisdom...............

When they took off yesterday I was thinking of offering Roger my guest house on Crystal River so they could layover and break up the trip.
I figured he'd turn me down being it's only 500 miles into their trip home, then I ended up with company all day and and never gotta around to it anyway.
It's a good sign they are taking breaks, they'll be fine.
But they'll be burned out for a couple days after getting home. Solid, and on behalf of my boy I appreciate that, Jeff. For what it's worth, your empathy and generousity means a lot. You ever feel froggy and want to take a shot at killing a bluefin, I'll get you a spot with us on a trip. Serious offer. Cheers. Thanks for the offer, if the timing's right I could take you up on it.
