[cool][size 2]Thanks for the thoughts, Dryrod. We will definitely be having three generations of tubing Scoutens on the water...even if there is snow and hurricanes. I have also put TubeBabe on notice that she will have to lay down her own rod long enough to collect some digital images of the occasion. I had to remind her that we got "his and hers" cameras just so that all the pics would not be of her...and her biggest fish all the time.[/size]
[size 2]My personal best wishes and fond appreciation to all of our members. We have put together a fun little forum here, and I hope we have become a respected source of help and info for tubers.[/size]
[size 2]Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving week. And, if you get out on the water, pause to be thankful that we are able to enjoy our sport...while many of our troops are in less desirable locations and situations. Nuff said.[/size]

Hey TubeDad, don't forget I have my digital arsenal as well. I have my pocket digital and the digital binoculars. I got those just to keep up with TubeNtoo when he gets out of normal range for the other camera. Heck, I had to cut about 4 inches off of his fins just to keep up with him.
Now if he ever got hooked up with polokid then I would be in trouble. Polo would teach him how to do it barefoot and still beat me. hee hee.

[cool]Hang a drift anchor on his tube when he isn't looking...or even a regular one. Danged whippersnappers have to go showin' off all the time.
But, just remember the joke about the old bull and the young bull. We may get there slower, but we get the job done.

I am out of shape now, but I am going to start swim training next week. Not as much as when I was competitive. But probably 5-6 work outs a weeks, 3000 yards per works out. I guess they have these new training fins for swimming that I hear might be great for me and float tubing. I am going to fin shopping this weekend for training!!!!

That's true, TubeDude. The only thing is that I don't have room for an anchor on my tube to attatch to his. Now is the time for the tag-a-long tube.
Hey Polokid, I thought I'd bring your name up. Not to talk about you but to talk with you. My son just started tubing recently and has some speed behind him. I'm trying to get him to take time do some slow trolling. Maybe after this weekend he will get it down. Thanks for the comeback. And have a good one.
