I hug and kiss my children multiple times per day,still tell my mom "I love you " out loud anywhere we part ways. Very sad for the family, and for you to have to experience it also.

I am guilty of not getting mine yet. I don't care much for Wal-Mart and like to support small business when I can. I will have it next week at the latest. ;-x

No boat, no RV just me and my pickup. I have a tent and all that is needed, just need a place to throw it.

Can anyone point me towards a close campground to the launch site. I will drive down Fri night, and really don't need a motel. I see that the COE camp is closed until April.

They look great.

Yes gentlemen, it's already time to renew the license that allows you to fish in MO. Just wanted to give a reminder,we should be getting back into nicer weather. Don't get caught without it.

I understand the rants, not as educated in the full functionality of the MDC, COE, or the accounting of either. I have learned alot from this thread, and thank you all for the input. I would like to comment. I spent $26.00 for my fishing, small game permit with a trout stamp. I haven't hunted in 2 or 3 years and maybe get to fish 3 times a year. I will pay double and feel like I'm getting a bargain. I don't know what anyone earns per year on the forum, (not asking )but if it costs to much for the license, think about money spent on cable television, theme park tickets, alcohol, tobacco, elite coffee, etc. I have the opportunity to get food,and entertainment all year long for a 1 time fee of $26.00. By the way, I partake in most expenses referred to, not judging anyone's decisions.

My buddy talked me into helping him change out a heater core in a '79 Camaro because the shop wanted approx. $500 when we were in High School in the '90s. I agreed, not knowing what we were getting into (pre YouTube). We got it all done, had to remove the dash, a fender, passenger seat, and many other components. 12 to 13 hours later we were done. It worked, I bought the car a year or two later, and just parted ways with it last fall. The heater core never gave out again. The $500 would have been well worth it.

WOW, hoping all is o.k..

....but is it Really his birthday? ?? Hmmmm.

Good thread. I like supporting local people.

I use this on Windows http://www.resizeyourimage.com Yo can keep your photos the same physical size, but it will not use as much space. Pretty cool. There are many others.

Still concentrate on my "gig line". NJROTC High School

Here are some of the Joachim Creek last winter when we had the hard freeze. The last one is the lower lake/pond in West City Park in Festus. The creek section is in West City park.

No such thing as a dink in a kids mind. Good on you,glad you all had a good time. Thanks for sharing it.

Lilley's Landing rents pontoons. We rented one last April, and were very happy with it. The staff at Lilley's was great, and the resort looked very nice from the outside, we did see the inside of one as they were remodeling it. We had a great time on the boat, it was very roomy, lots of storage areas if you need it, and powerful. I don't have a pic of the boat, but I do have one of my daughter outside by the sign.

This is the biggest fish Photo I have, I have caught carp that were larger, but no proof.

NOÒOOOOOOO!

No ice pics this year, got a couple from last year of Joachim Creek.

I also plan on showing up, but do not have a boat. I would be more than happy to pitch in for gas and food.

Check out the local hardware store, Home Depot or Lowe's for that wire. You can buy it per foot.

Thanks for sharing! Sounds like a great time with great people. Glad you stuck in there. Loved the Willy Wonka reference.

Brett, if you don't mind, what lines were you and your buddy using?

I won't be able to make this one, is the March one still on?
