Last sat was opening for ducks in Wisconsin.
As a lot of the state (northern) had major rivers flooded.
Roads, boat launches, and islands (old favorite spots) all need to have a "Plan B".
Went out to the cabin last Tuesday, gonna get the boat, checked out, batteries charged, fresh fuel, clean up etc.
Well, turned out I didn't have the boat key, (in other truck?), WTF moment.
Off to the dealer, 40 miles away, they do have master keys, so I was OK.
So much for being prepared, I guess.
Boat now ready, hunting buddy showed up with Gunner (new 18 month old dog), Fri nite (he had to work).

Sat morning off to my hunting spot, 2 hours away, on the way at 4 AM, indicator light on dash says, "low tire". Another WTF moment.
Stop, check all tires with flashlight and tire gauge, all at 54 Lbs? WTF?
Off to the boat launch, put in, parked the truck, and went hunting, not knowing if I would have a flat when I got back or not.

Gunner had not been in a boat yet, needs to practice swimming, but was really getting into it!

Got a few ducks, got a little wet, needed truck stop to get enough air to get the tires up to 65 lbs, and found out the duct tape does keep water out of waders when they start splitting from age.
I love fall! so many hunting seasons, so little time, new hunting dog,
Priceless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
