Been A Follower For Years...but....

[walleyed2]

It is time for me to step out...does that mean I know more.....Heck No....every contribution makes a difference. (as proved by the Springfield activity level.....it sucks)

I have had the honor to stay the night at Lilley's....(great place, w/rates that are also great). I am getting up in age and am a OH transplant, who used to watch Field and Stream on TV in the early days. I fished the James River with advice of Fins & Feathers in Springfield years ago, caught a Smallmouth, (actually wading w/o drowning), that jumped between me and the sun. The fish flipping back and forth, the water thrown off of the fish...even some of the colors in the water dropletts...then to land the smallmouth...release it....GOD....I saw everything in it's ever loving glory. I new then that I was really at home. It brought back that feeling deep in my soul, that I felt watching those programs years ago. Outside of my family, this is truly why I live (outside of my grandchildren, and video game every now and then), I had also fell in Love with TECH back in the day before desktop computers....and NO I am not ashamed of my age....as Grandpa Bear would say....mrrijbm irmmrimikm,,,youngins.
