I'd drive around with it in my truck bed just so people would wonder why the heck I had a pumpkin in my truck bed all the time.

Sure, but there isn't any excitement and I do forget to bring the bait. Just gonna anchor where the sun is and just do nothing! Tomorrow will be like we own the lake, today was the quietest I have ever seen it for a Sunday, but tomorrow I'll bet little or no wakes.

Now I hope the weather cooperates temp wise because I have off every Monday until I have to put the boat up for winter according to my insurance policy, which is Sunday November 1st.

Pretty neat eh? The big square box you see there is where they feed the coal...the steam feeds into the "cannon" looking part of it and then into a valve. The steering was controlled by a set of chains attached to each wheel. Yeah, I know sheet about steam engines, haha.

Yes, but you'd have to come up with insane answers when people dared ask you why...

When that happens you drop the tailgate set the DP to a higher tune and floor it. the pumpkin will magically dissapear from the bed of the truck.
