[cool] Nah. I am on a "kick" to simplifiy my craft. Some of those things on my float tube were interfering with my concentration...not to mention adding too much weight. It gets to be a bear carrying all that gear down to the water and getting launched.
First to go was the big screen TV. It was great to watch while the fishing was slow, but took up a lotta space and could be distracting when I was getting a bite. That big satellite dish was a bit cumbersome too. I'll just have to stay home to watch the Super Bowl this year.
The portable refrigerator, coffee maker and microwave ovens were really handy, but having to listen to that noisy portable generator all day was a real drag (reel drag???). It was either that or a half mile of extension cord, but running a power cord out over the water can be dangerous.
If I don't add the computer, I guess I shouldn't even think about the combination printer and fax machine. When I'm fishing, I don't care who wants to reach me. I'm gonna draw the line on that.
Yes, from now on it's the simple float tubing life for me.
