That's what pants are fer, son. JF

I kinda like Grumpy Old Men & the sequel. They somehow remind me of OFC. And I keep thinking of people who deserve a big stinky ole carp in the back seat (not OFNers, of course). And yes, Old Man & The Sea was made into a movie w/Spencer Tracy as the fisherman. JF

It was pretty clear to all of us, of course, we'd been saying the same thing for quite a while. We used to call players like that "cherry-pickers" although that's hardly fair to someone of his ability. JF

I love watching him too. But I agree with his coach "He's great with the puck." The important part is what's not said there. JF

But now OV's playing golf. I'd like him a lot if he'd quit camping on the offensive blue line. It's no wonder he can play two minute shifts. He cruises for 75 seconds of them. When he learns to be a two way team player he'll be awesome. JF

Like him or not, he's setting a very high bar. Ask Ovechkin if you have any doubts. It's one thing to be a flash in the pan, albeit a bright and reasonably consistent flash, and a whole nuther world to be Crosby right now. He's proving that you don't have to be I'm Mr. Centre Of The Universe to win games for your team. I'm more and more impressed with him and his work ethic. JF

Now you know how the Caps felt two hours ago. JF

That's what I tell people every day. JF

Is that a new pattern from Rapala?????? Happy Birthday Joey JF

And here I wuz thinking it was about bass from the Nederlands. JF

I figgered he just wanted to chat. JF

Fishing is less frustrating. JF

Mid-afternoon, it's getting dark, windy and cold here. At least I had a long enuf dry spell to cut the lawn. Think I finished just in time. Now I have a good excuse to stay in & replace a few crappy trebles with the Gamakatsus (sp?) that I just picked up. JF

Bass Pro? JF

Sky's clearing here in Stratford now (noon) and that appears to be moving your way. JF

We've had some serious lightning here in Stratford, and a few downpours with extra large hailstones to spice up the mix. Hope nobody got caught out on the water in that mess. JF

Hey Lew, even if you don't get fish porn shots, at least send some scenery shots for those of us stuck in the city. Have a great summer. Mebbe I'll be lucky enuf to run into you if I get up there to visit Garry again. JF

Just for that I'm bringin' my Ugly Stik to the Walleye Hunt. Of course it's only a 5'6 Lite w/6# mono (cheap I suspect) on a $9 reel but that should be good enuf, huh? JF

I was watching the free preview of WFN (apparently free on Starchoice this month) and recognized the smiling face of Bly, and as I was saying "I know her" to my wife I had to add "And him" (Cliff) "Oh, and her" (Monique). There were other faces on but I hadn't realized it was OFC propaganda in time to watch them all. So try WFN on yer decoder just in case you're getting a freeby too. JF

I've met Cliff. He ain't that big, and certainly no brute. JF

Now, if he doesn't respond to any posts we'll all be concerned. JF

*****'s on the report. So how was the new (water)ride? If you mentioned it I missed it, other than the gunnel washer part. JF

Most of mine are squashed, and I've been happy about it at least a couple of times. JF

I've been wondering if there's any way to back up POI's to your computer (like a .csv). It seems logical. Perhaps even to an SD card. I haven't used my gps enuf yet to figure out all the tools available. Anyone know? JF

Exackly! JF
