snagged in outlet 3

Bummer.

I didn't intend a pissing match either. I'm just trying to raise a happy kid and family like all of you. Actually I'm just throwing it out there to see if anyone has better ideas than me. I think it's a good discussion. One thing I know for sure is College is not the answer for everyone. I apologize if it came off that way. Nice on the truck. My first was a 1970 Mercury monteray 2 door. Drank gas like a hog. Pete

I here you Wrench and I'm glad your daughter is "taking care of business". I just don't want her to think a quick buck now is worth foregoing college. It happened to me and all my buddies at that age. I do okay I guess. Pete

I don't let my daughter work at all. We have a deal. She takes care of business and I give her whatever she wants. Honor student in all advance placement classes and plays on the high school soccer team and swim team. She is in the 4.0 GPA Athletes club and does her chores around the house. Her business is to finish college and probably grad school. After that she can get a job that pays her well enough to do buy anything she wants. FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE. When I grew up we all worked as soon as we could get paid to do something. Then we got out of high school and went to work instead of going to college. We went to work so we could gst that paycheck that seemed large at the time. BIG mistake. I worked at GM for 15 years and got my degree so I could get out of there. It was a nice living but it is limited as far as income. Nothing worse than giving away your future for a little money now. Fire away. Pete

Nice Ham! Pete

I wish it was covered live too. Pete

is this on tv

Di somebody say firm bodies? They're not just for surface bugs anymore. Just sayin. Pete

Hey Cody. When's the next fishing trip? Pete

That's Mr 3 BTW Pete

Blackened Salmon tonight. Happy Mardi Gras. Pete

Amen there. I handle luggage, oil changes, you know whatever they throw my way. I cook because I like too. In all seriousness, my girls take care real good care of me. Pete

We had nothing left from the Boston butt or I would do the same thing Ness. Pete

Boston Butt in the smoker with a salad and bread yesterday. 3 words for that. Mar ve lous!!!!!!! Monday is Mexican night at my house. Chicken tacos tonight. Pete

Nice Gramps. I struggled with deer hair when tying stimulators. I got real good at it but the ones I tied first that looked all ratty caught the most fish. Pete

Looks like he might have a chew in picture two???? Is that possible Joe? Pete

I'm not sure what the prime time is in that area but we always tried to go to New Orleans are in April. Looks like fun. Pete

Did you guys go??? Report please. Pete

That's no dink!!! That fish is huge in her memory and yours. Nice!! Pete

Yeah that's nice!

Thanks for the report Phil, I appreciate the time we fished together and I had a great time. I got back in town Sunday evening and I haven't had time to type a report so thanks for doing that. I was very happy when Phil invited me to go out with him to fly fish Saturday! Phil really knows that water and our fishing styles complimented each other. That first picture says it all. Midge in one and the scud in the other. I just love midge fishing to really shallow fish and we whacked em. At times there would be 4-5 fish following in the fish we had hooked. It was really cool watching that. I quit counting double hookups at 5 and I know we had more than that. I fished the dam area Friday all day and the water fluctuated up and down all the time and the fish were very finicky. You know it's tough when the fish just move to get out of the way of your fly. Saturday more than made up for that though. I can't wait to get back there soon. BTW, I love that Tracker Grizzly we were in. Plenty of room and that thing is wide and stable. Fast too!!! Pete

I had a great time Phil. Thanks for everything! Pete

Midge

I'm leaving this afternoon and I'll bring salad again and a pie. PM me for my cell and I'll check it throughout the day. Pete

Alternate heat with ice. Yeah we have to keep you around to run the jig fest's every year. Pete
