Nice trip. Great report. That moose is a moose.

A lady friend of our family is active in NRA and I'm positive she carries where ever it's legal. I couldn't figure out where the gun was concealed so I hugged her at every opportunity. Never felt steel, but got a lot of hugs. She and her husband are also hellacious Lake Erie sm fishermen.

Will PM in a couple of minutes.

I think we should put your entry to a vote by your southern board members? Raf, do you have any references?

I believe we have a new, young, member who is attempting to contribute to the board. Hopefully he'll accept our well intended advice and stick around. He's a young man headed in the right direction by spending time on the water with his father. How's this??? ....and this?

JohnF, admitting to having a friends from Louisville & Sevierville might cause you to become an outcast on this site. gbfisher, I appreciate your thinking, but a dead head of a household can't protect his family. There are major obligations in life. Where I spend most of my time in Canada I sure as hell wouldn't attempt a breakin at anyone's home. Those people know how to defend themselves and how to protect their family members from intruders.

More guns and more crime with guns in the U.S. than in Canada. Heavily populated areas are magnets for bad guys with guns. State of Wyoming has a high rate of gun ownership, but hardly any crime or murder by gun. I'm in a county of around 60,000 and my city is around 28,000, but crime is significant because of a west coast infiltration of drug manufacturing. No New York City, Chicago or Toronto for me. 3.5% of Putnam County residents have a concealed carry permit. Many time the reason is for transporting guns, not carrying them on their person. Training and background checks are required. In Dawg's state a citizen goes to the sherrif's office and walks out with a concealed carry permit within minutes. No background check. I'll be corrected if I'm wrong on that one.

A couple of photos from May 2007 might speed up the healing process for our buddy.

During July & August a tent is much cooler at night than most cabins. Cabins hold heat.

Scuro, what former name would we recognize?

I'm going to enter a shameless plug for Pete's combo. I have two, 8 1/2 foot medium/heavy rods with his reels attached and they are performing beautifully. The length is great for casting big baits and I haven't come close to a backlash. My birds have to build their own nests. I've loaned the rod to four others and they'll all four be owners in 2008. I've had the combos only two years, for 45 days of fishing, so we'll have to see how they do over time.

Best to you for a quick recovery. Your surgery is no little deal, but maybe you'll be Dusty's 5th starter by mid season. Save the third Saturday in May 2008. We're in for a treat.

i think phil had rotator cuff surgery yesterday. not a fun procedure. he's probably pilled up tonight.

Some new guy comes up with the idea every few months. The mods really appreciate input. Okay, I'm picking on you, but cleanly and in fun. We're glad to have you aboard and I understand why you came up with the suggestion.

Marc, I just wanted to use the word "Gorgasm" in a sentence. I swear. I'm disappointed because nobody mentioned Gorgasm in a post. But I believe a few posters experienced one or two or a few.

Hi Phil, bring us up to date on what's been going on with you. It's good to see you on the board. By the way, all Canadians are smart compared to you and me.

Bought two Roth IRA effective March 1, 2007 @ $5000 each TG $5000 in Vanguard Emerging Markets Fund worth $7362.17 on October 15, 2007 Ms TG $5000 in Vanguard Global Equity Fund worth $5910.06 on October 15, 2007 If I live long enough and the market stays strong I might someday amount to something. Or maybe not. I'm having fun.

Hey guys, I was just posting what I considered to be humor. Sp? - humour. Please don't get after each other about he subject.

............... Gorons are having multiple Gorgasms over his selection.

Thanks for the change of pace report. Really nice fishing. Dawg, your hospitality is showing.

If I worked for Chrysler I'd wake up every day hoping to have a job to go to before they fold.

Very nice. Your contributions to this board are always an excellent read.

Gerritt, we've been with you all along on this. I think of him every time I see your name on the board.

Nice Bull Red. Hey Dawg, let me know when Don is headed home and we might meet at BPS in Nashville for fish feeding time or something else equally as wild and exciting.

You guys had a beauty of an outing and the report was great. Nice going Wayne, Dan and Marc. Those release shots were great. Thanks.
