Tarzan's Jane

Congrats Bill and nice salmon. Don't ya just love saying "Fish On"!!

What a sight!! I mean polluted boring calm water, one lonely loon and bad tasting fish frying in heart attack grease. You should really consider selling, I believe in helping out my fellow man....it's time for you to live life differently, like go golfing. LOL

Great report and excellent pics. I certainly understand your friend's excitement...congrats to both of you.

You certainly had a mix of entertainment, work, family and friends. And you didn't sit on your butt the whole time. lol I enjoyed reading all your reports for the summer and three stick in my mind...the first being the scare with your daughter's canoe trip, the second your fabulous young MOM, and the third your reference to Leah's health. I do not know what her struggles are but I hope that this is just a small hiccup for her. Thanks Wayne and welcome back.

Really, my ass looks hot in my hot waders...gee thanks. lol I'm just fooling, couldn't resist - didn't think anyone noticed. hahahaha

Looks like an excellent day was had by all. Love the pics especially the ones of all the boats in the water. Hats off to you and those who helped pull it all together.

SWEEEETTTT!! I understand why you can't type Bly lol sore arms eh. congrats.

OMG you are so close to what actually happened. LOL The name I call Dave in order to get that nice smile out of him has to do with just that....starts with an "R". too funny And Yes Roy...I am keeping some pics secret...ammo for later. Glad you like the pics Dave...they turned out pretty darn good.

LOL, darn stem cell research!

Very nice....I got my first experience watching a father with his 7 year old daughter fishing where I was. She was such a cutie and she just could not wait to bring those fish in...and the fish were huge. This little girl would be jumping up and down begging Daddy to give her the rod, and then she would place the rod between her legs, huge huge smile on her face and would be backing up and listening to what Daddy had to say. I was tempted to put my own rod betwen my legs too as my arms just had no more to give. lol It truly is special to watch kids fish.

Show Off!!! hahaha I still laugh when I think of what I had to call you in order for you to smile big for some of those pics. lol

Pain robs us from so much but yet friends dull it with their compassion, caring and company. Thanks for sharing and may you both have more fishing trips together, the battle isn't over yet.

That was a fun read Jen. I'm sure it won't be long and you will be having surf and turf country style. Great report.

Great report and some very nice pics. I actually thought of you while we were out in the rain - thankfully though it was just for one day. We did have mist on the water, and one morning it was a very cool 2 degrees and I did not care to get out of my sleeping bag. I was contemplating how I could steal more heat from Ken. lol Holidays go by so quickly - glad to hear that you had great weather and a relaxing time.

Great Report - I love those big fish now. And I do have a better appreciation of the release...my poor salmon was dropped on it's head but thankfully he survived.

So it is possible to land a big one in a canoe! Ken and I fished from the canoe and he was able to get 3 but they were small and I was thankful for that cuz I sure wasn't ready for the big ones. I do love the stabilizer - great idea. Congrats and once again I am learning much from you - great report.

A very Happy Birthday to you Cliff - enjoy YOUR day.

I was so looking forward to seeing you in those pink fuzzies. Just get yourself to Lakair next year...a memory like that would have helped you through these trying times. All the best.

Correct me if I am wrong....but are the guy that Aplumma & Daplumma were setting up for some pretty wild times at Lakair? If you are...I was so worried that they did something horrible to you, cuz we just never heard about it....and you just disappeared. Welcome back

I was on a picket line...someone had a radio...the sense that something beyond tragic was happening and the fear of not knowing how much more was going to take place was enough for me to put down my sign and say to heck with my fight for a 2% increase....I had to get home. You just don't ever forget such horror.

I have never done anything like this. The realization that I will be braving the cold, the fog, the deep dark nights, the strange sounds of nature, no toilets, no makeup, nothing civilized (except the company, well maybe not that either) ....wonder if I will want to come back. What ifs are racing through my brain but the anticipation and excitement is far greater than the fear of the unknown. (ie bears) If something should happen to me...question Bowshep.

Sweeeeeetttttt. Congrats.

You must have used bubble bath to clean the windows...the best absolute best way to clean windows, any windows. A cool pic for sure, what a shock to the birdie lol

LOL - sexy! You go girl! Love that second pic.

I knew it, I just knew that you would be doing it again. I also know that Bly will be definitely kicking your Excellent - good on you and good for you!
