Title: Getting the boat ready
Post by: msmith on March 05, 2024, 07:38:46 PM
So now that the weather is breaking, I got all of the stuff stripped off my boat from duck season. Then I got in trouble when I went to Cabelas and accidently bought a new trolling motor.  :innocentwhistle: This Thursday I may accidentally pick up a free livescope.

The hard part is justifying it to your wife.

I never really try to justify it to myself or my wife, I just get what I want and suffer the consequences. How did Brad Pitt put it in Inglorious Bastards? "I've been chewed out before."  :eyebrow:

The secret is to accumulate so much hunting and fishing equipment that the wife is overwhelmed and can't tell if you got something new or not. The same theory applies with guns.  :eyebrow:

* pay cash.

Welp, with the Cabela's points I had, I got triple points when I got the trolling motor and $125 gift card. That gave me almost $500 in points and cards. Then I sold my little 2 man boat for $500 and caught the Garmin LSV32 on sale for $999 + 10% for using my card. This made it basically free as far as the missus is concerned. At least that's my story.

Doesn't happen often, but the planets lined up for me this time.
