This year I bought a 2001 Kawasaki Prarie 400 with only 84 miles on it.... it's like brand new!! Of course, with that, I'm building all sorts of stuff to go on the 4 wheeler. I also bought one of clam's new round tables.... kind of a pain to set up, but pretty nice once they are set up.... good and sturdy.

I broke down and bought a Marcum LX-6.  Didn't really need it, but wanted it.  I had to sneak it into the house so my Wife wouldn't see it.  I almost felt guilty....almost.

I know I know I am going to hear it but I put a deposit on the LX 9

I thought the camera would entertain the Kid and educate me about how to read a sonar and my presentation style
