Litter Box- Part 2 Fishing Buddies

Jay and Bill have yet to loose their thirst of fishing and in an attempt to broaden their catching opportunities purchased a very affordable Bass Tracker - Nitro.

This particular boat is 21 years old and after spending at least the last 3 years parked next to a nice home in Bonham Texas, uncovered and unused, was more so rescued than purchased by my husband and his friend... as you can see above.

At first glance, you might say, well its not that bad. But let me point out how the angle of the camera does not expose the inside of the boat, as I do believe such images are too graphic for this posting and may constitute an investigation by the FCA and possible fines.

Look even closer and you will notice there is absolutely nothing where a rather large windshield should be. As seen below on the cared for twin of our boat.

Now let me explain the title of this blog and Julia's given name to the boat... "Litter Box"

As fate would have it, the tires on the boats trailer were not in very good condition. In fact thanks to 20/20 Julia and I were able to decode their creation as the 10th week of 1995. Yikes!!
The 2 managed to air the tires enough to get them to the Wal-Mart, where they spent a couple of hours trying to keep the tires inflatted for the long drive back home, and fix the element exposed wiring to the trailers brake lights.

When alas, Bill and Jay realize , there is a litter of kittens in the boat.
That is right, 3 tiny kittens, imaginably terrified, found living in the Bass Tracker!

What were the guys to do?
Were these kittens trapped in the boat while looking for their mittens?
Was this some new twist to Geraldine Robinson's "Three Kittens in a Boat"?
Had Jay and Bill truly met Micky Kitty and Jack, on their famous holiday?

Unfortunately, the kittens were not old enough for me to meet, and Jay and Bill did not return with evidence of this encounter, therefore, I cannot post pictures.
I am glad to tell you, the kittens were safely returned to their owners.

Sadly, we will forever wonder if Mickey, Kitty and Jack, were real, perhaps searching for their mittens crossing paths with Jay and Bill in Bonham Texas on a cool spring evening.

To much relief the boat's neglected motor and such run wonderfully and the boat has been out a total of 5 times without incident and with much successful fishing! In fact there will be a fish fry soon. Who knows, perhaps the spirit of its once residence lives on in our boat, adding to the wonderous fishing talents of Jay, Billy and Alain.
