Come on, a grizzly bear? Just charge in and take over.  BIlletHead ?

           Might have to stop hanging out with ya. Never know when you might turn on me. 🤣 First time I see you snatch a fish out of the air and eat it raw I'm going to begin to worry. 🤪

They need to move the whole operation out to somewhere near the freeway where there is lots of room for parking and away from city streets.  I'm also wondering if this thing is really going to draw in huge crowds or not.  There was a flyer for it in the local paper, first one I have seen.  Red Eye shad on sale, BPS Stickos, BPS cranks, BPS rod/reel combos.  Nothing I saw that would compel me to go there.  There are a bunch of fishing celebrities, NASCAR types, and C&W singers so maybe people will go for that.  

Oh, and they did have Pond Prowlers for $999.00.  In case anyone needs one.

And boats are for sale and they say if you drive off with one they won't charge for transportation costs!  What a deal!  That also makes me wonder how you can tow one out of there if you can't get there in your vehicle?

Interesting 🤔 

 

Welp, I'm glad we beat it.  👍

It magically ended when Russia invaded Ukraine. And now that Will Smith smacked Chris Rock it appears that the war is over.

         Just talked to my son again.  Said he would kick my arse if I tried to come down there before this was over. What he has to do just to get our grandchildren to high school. If you live on the closed streets around there you have to have a parking permit to park at your home. He said if anyone wants to park at his place cough up some bucks 🤣. Joking of course. anyone going to the Hank Williams concert? If so go, get ya a beer. He and DIL are working the beer stand. Seems if you volunteer it helps the Band parents. Granddaughter is in the marching band. Look for him if you do and tell him you have permission from his dad to give him a ration of crap. He had a BilletHead and a well-groomed bushy beard. Big boy too. Tickets are crazy high.

With the millions in merchandise sales they aren’t likely to move anywhere.  The spring class has brought in a half a million on the first day at the Springfield store alone.  Just try to imagine what the sales are going to be like for this event.

No doubt, I'm outlining what it would take for me to go, which of course has no influence whatsoever.
