If I offended anyone I would like to apologize.
It was not my intention to be sarcastic in any of my posts. Please re-read my posts with an open mind on this thread and the ice fishing thread. I tryed to respond to all suggestions, and why it might not work for me out of respect for those gracious enough to respond. I expressed my gratitude several times so those reading would not see my post as argumentative or sarcastic.
I did acknowledge my misunderstanding about the outlets on the other thread, and thanked those who helped me sort it out.
I sincerely thanked the member who offered his generator. I considered it such a beautiful, generous offer… I turned it down because I would hate to return it to him not working as well as when he loaned it to me.
The suggestion that I was not really looking for a rental for my son and I is just plain false. I have gone on 4 guided fishing trips with my son in the last 2 years, based on recommendations from members of this forum. I am a working joe on a single income with 5 kids. My kids mean everything to me and I am having a hard time connecting with my teenage son. Fishing is one thing what we can share, so I am spending far more money than my budget allows. That is why I may seem like a cheapskate. I found the less expensive rental because of someone’s suggestion.
Some postings have been deleted, which is fine, but it adds to misunderstanding.
Once again I apologize if members felt disrespected by my postings.
