Right.

I can assure you that is an empty threat from the child. No one wants to be placed in child protection unless there's a REAL problem. Call his bluff.

Ham and his microposse heard the stocking truck is at the river.

You're so kind.

I hope you're happy. Yesterday Phil told us Taney was fishing pretty slow. But not for you!!

A truly wonderful quality time. Thanks Dan for putting it together. Really like that river rig you had made - very nice outfit. Great to meet you and all the others. OAF comes through again. Thanks Phil for doing this website.

You do know that molasses is sugar, right?

Truck is loaded. When and where are you floaters headed first? I would assume Horse Creek 7:00 or so?

Happy Birthday Phil. See you Saturday!

Please do still bring the baby blackstone. Thanks. Looking forward to meeting a few new faces myself. And of course, seeing the usual suspects.

I've significantly pared down what I'm bringing: Bacstrap medallions, a hunk of summer sausage, an onion, some mustard and a loaf of bread. And an attitude.

Beautiful. Question though. How on Earth did you come up with split dry firewood? I'm impressed.

Don't worry, be happy.

Hey! Who wants a rare piece of backstrap? --- Ness and Rick from the Blackstone, 1:23 PM, Saturday September 21, 2024. In the shade on the James River.

I can bring some fairly decent elk burger if you would like. And for sure backstrap medallions and summer sausage.

Doesn't look like rig or owner are gonna outlast Keith Richards.

You'll be glad you came but sorry you didn't float. You really should if you haven't before. It's a bucket list river. So whatever. But please do bring the blackstone, they're little miracle workers.

Hint: When I lived in Carroll IA right after college, a fried summer sausage sandwich was a thing at the tavern.

We can do either place. Floaters can get to the Y bridge park on the right easily and then paddle over to the takeout. Or take out and then walk or drive over to the park. Supposed to be sunny and 90 Saturday. Shade will be welcomed is my guess. We can decide when we get there. For 10, with a tabletop blackstone and a tabletop weber, I don't think we will need a big grill. Comments?

To even be in the same conversation as Aaron Judge is pretty good.

You guys are just gonna have to guess what I'm bringing. I mean besides the marinated medallions.

I have a case of Vienna Sausage (always save brand) in the truck.

Well, it's a hamburger/backstrap/hot dogs quickie at the takeout. So probably no stockpots or propane grills. But I bet we do not starve....

So Flysmallie was talking to his wife about going to the Jack's Fork. She told him he needed to stay home and fix the water heater so she could take a shower and do laundry. Flysmallie told her it would just have to wait until he got back from his float trip. The morning he was leaving she asked him to please stay home and fix the water heater and the stove which went on the fritz last night. He explained he would take care of it when he got home, the float trip is a priority. When he got home, she told him he need to fix the water heater, the stove and now the toilet too which was clogged. Flysmallie explained that the James River Float is on Saturday, I'll see about getting all that fixed when I get back. Ms. Smallie had about had it at that point. She said if that's the way you feel about it, how would you like to not see me for a few days? Flysmallie said fine, that suits me right down to the ground. Two days went by and he didn't see her at all. The third day the swelling was starting to go down and he could see her a little out of the corner of one eye.....

You just reminded me of an old joke. I'll put it in the humor thread.
