It would be considerably less painful than watching me try to do it on 3 computers. 😅

Good grief! And to think I do everything on my Moto Z. 😳

I tried to respond but your mailbox is full. I'd be glad to join you guys, thanks for the invite. See ya there 👍

Have you decided what you want? Jon boat? What size? How do you want it set up? What's the budget? Let's get this over with, you ain't getting any younger. I'll help you any way I can.

Oh, so size matters?

The cool thing about NFOW is that all the truly good spots are accessable by land and a short hike. No real need to float it IMO.

Yeah the water level has to be high enough to prime the pump housing. Should still pump from muffs though.

I did.....at the pool hall. 😊

Oh I don't hesitate to give my kids money, they are the ones that will be wiping my butt and taking me fishing some day. I got in a tight spot and "borrowed" 400.00 from my dad when I was in my 20's, and several years later I loaned him my Model 70 Winchester to go on a Antelope hunt. After Christmas that year as we were preparing to leave his house I said "oh I wanna grab that rifle".......He says, "yeah I like that gun, it's a sweet shooter". I said, yeah I know. He says, no you don't understand. Remember that 400.00 I loaned you to pay off your debts at the pool hall cuz your weren't as good as you thought you were? Uh huh. "I REALLY like that gun". 😳 So yeah, I used to have a real sweet glass bedded Mod 70 .223 🙄

Why is everybody licking their phones today? Don't you know there's a coronavirus out there? You don't know where that thing has been!

If it was YOUR group there'd probably be 1 opioid overdose, 3 that are homesick and upset about phone service, 1 taken to the nearest ER to remove a Hotwheel from his rectum, and 3 not eating with the others because they are vegan. 😂

Well it doesn't count then ! 😋

I think I know the problem. It's a code 14 (operator error). You aren't holding your tongue right. 😁

To each their own, but spending a day figuring out the bite on one river, then moving to a whole different river for the next day seems more like a sight-seeing trip than a fishing trip. You'll get dialed in better, catch more fish, eat better/sleep better, and reduce the chaos factor by 96% if you pick one river and stay with it both days. Save the other river for another trip. With 8 guys you're gonna have at least 2 that get stone blind drunk, 1 that falls and gets injured, 2 that tempt hypothermia, 2 broken rods, and at least 1 that comes down with the Kung flu and is puking every 3 hours. Best to keep the trip more simple IMO.

If you ever get tired of a relative just loan them some money. A couple hundred bucks should do it, and it's often worth twice that much to get rid of them. Family values!

Amen! I hate weddings, funerals, and graduation ceremonies, so the fewer relatives I have hanging around, the better.

That's because every 10-15 years you get a new generation of Shot Callers with fresh new ideas on how to make the world a better place. It doesn't matter that the way water moves downhill hasn't changed at all, and it doesn't matter that weather prediction (in spite of advanced technology) isn't any more accurate these days......They have to TRY to reinvent the wheel. 🙄

You're looking gooood! I'm getting pretty anxious myself.

I'm sick of it. Everything is a sloppy muddy mess around here, and the temps just cold enough to keep me indoors. This winter vacation can't be over soon enough to suit me, I'm ready to get back to work.

Everyone keeps saying that..... BUT there has been plenty of opportunity during the last 7 months to evacuate all that water they've been holding. Has there not? If flood control is your priority then you should never elect to hold miles and miles of excess water when downstream conditions are perfectly suitable for you to flush some out. It's as if they were predicting a severe drought or something.

My father's gig was buying up defunct nursing homes across the country that were in financial trouble or on the verge of loosing their license. He'd get them all fixed up, running well with a great reputation, all on the up and up....then sell them. He urged me to follow in his footsteps, but as a kid in my early 20's that was the LAST THING I wanted to do with my life. Turned out to be a stupid decision because if I had I would have been comfortably retired 4-5 years ago with enough money to do whatever I want, whenever I want, and have a little black book full of smokin' hot nurses to play with.....like he did. 😊

Oh hell, what's 2 minutes out of your day? Many years later you'll remember THAT, but you won't remember how many fish you caught.
