That was the year I fished with a 100% rotator cuff tear and 90% bicep tear on my right shoulder. My main memory of that weekend is waking up to take more Vicodin and have another sip of moonshine. The other memory is you wanting to put spider chair on the icy front deck of Ham's boat. And him not having any of it. Oh and that icy catwalk down to the dock at Riley's. Lives were risked I tell ya!
Terrierman is firm for one Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. I believe Griz Wilson is planning on being there too. Heard from him this morning, but don't know his schedule. Might want to check on WoundedOne too.
I'm going unless I will be alone. Thursday to get there looks like it will be fine and so will Sunday to get home. Tyler is out now due to finals schedule, so it will just be me. There will be a snow shovel and some salt in the truck just in case the ramp needs it.
This thing is really helpful to me, old eyes and fat fingers are not a good combination. http://www.anglersworkshop.com/Accessories_3/Anglers-Image-Magnetic-Fly-Threader
Mine will too if I enable the auto dim feature. I'm not an idiot so prefer to decide on my own when I want bright or dim lights. I do like the auto on feature.
We went camping last summer during the throes of the kitchen rehab. Ours was new cabinets too. What a PIA.
Camping as in a 32' 3 slide TT with full hookups, satellite TV and a nice pool just up the hill. I could not have handled lovey talking to the guys doing the work had we not bailed.
Last time I went on a 40 hour tuna trip it was a little rough. The sleeping quarters smelled like a mix of stale puke and diesel fuel and with constant noise of engines running. I've described a hitch in the navy as prison with a chance of drowning. That trip wasn't much better. $1700 will buy a pile of ahi grade tuna without the misery. So I guess you can count me out.
And leftover cheesy grits turn into polenta. Browned a few chunks of that, two over easy eggs and some of the home canned salsa from last summer made for a good breakfast.
I worked for DNR many years ago. It wasn't easy then and it's far worse now with the anti regulation atmosphere and a republican legislature and governor cutting budgets and mandating 1/3 reduction in existing regulations.
