Since the trolling motor was just installed, it was time to give it a test so we headed to SD Bay last Friday. My dad wanted to go so I didn't opt for La Jolla this trip because of his declining health, I am sure the open water would take a toll on him

We launched and I figured Myles would get the first fish as usual, and he did and lost it at the boat
![Shocked :o](http://temecula-home-finder.com/works/forum/Smileys/default/shocked.gif)
So I had to show him how it was done

The Spotties were on the chew for a while and then they must have gotten sleepy

Them and my dad

He pooped out and took a few breaks and actually fell asleep on the back seat

Typical Spottie pics (you know the drill) but they are so fun to catch on bass gear

The twins had fun and the trolling motor was a great addition to The Cyclops. I made a makeshift stand for it to minimize the flex while under way, it worked perfect

Had a great day until we got home, then my Kidney Stones decided to play Rugby and F*CKED me up
![Angry >:(](http://temecula-home-finder.com/works/forum/Smileys/default/angry.gif)
I went to bed and Saturday morning I couldn't stand the pain and puking so Janie Took me to The ER, only made it a couple miles to the Fire Station, I was fading fast

Long story short, Timmy got a ride in an Ambulance to Palomar Hospital
![Shocked :o](http://temecula-home-finder.com/works/forum/Smileys/default/shocked.gif)
After some IV Meds for the Pain (I CANT DESCRIBE THE INTENSITY !!!) They released me to follow up with my Doc, these puppies ain't coming out on their own
![Angry >:(](http://temecula-home-finder.com/works/forum/Smileys/default/angry.gif)
For now I eat these pills and hope to get these stones removed ASAP ! Next trip better be open water with bigger fish

Keep slaying the fish, Tom, I will eventually get a Quality report
