Was painfully slow this afternoon but is just fine now. Joe

Beautiful shots there TJ.Did you run the boat up on the ice at full throttle? Joe

I dare you to print this out and leave it on the table. At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down.Finally ,the guys' side of the story.( I must admit, it's pretty good.)We always hear " the rules " From the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side.Please note... these are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE! 1. Men are NOT mind readers. 1. Learn to work the toilet seat.You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.We need it up, you need it down.You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down. 1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be. 1. Shopping is NOT a sport.And no, we are never going to think of it that way. 1. Crying is blackmail. 1. Ask for what you want.Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it! 1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question. 1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it.That's what we do.Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for. 1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a Problem.See a doctor. 1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days. 1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't Expect us to act like soap opera guys. 1. If you think you're fat, you probably are.Don't ask us. 1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of them makes you sad or angry, then we meant the other one 1. You can either ask us to do something Or tell us how you want it done.Not both.If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself. 1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials. 1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we. 1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is. 1. If it itches, it will be scratched.We do that. 1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle, besides we know you will bring it up again later. 1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear. 1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... Really 1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or golf. 1. You have enough clothes. 1. You have too many shoes. 1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

Couple of us there now

That little critter fish would have gone right back in the water with 2/0 circle hook through him.Thats some kinda sweet bait! Joe

Art and I went down to the boat to repair the exhaust line on the port motor.The repair went well and was done in time to take a run out to the river for a little catfishing.The lower Potomac is famed for its huge cats.Art had his buddy at the seafood market save all of the shad guts and heads for bait and I brought a few tubs of chicken liver.Got this little blue cat on some chicken liver,never caught a blue cat on the upper Potomac where we usually fish. We set up off of this point in a creek bed for cats or Stripers with shad cut bait and a line out with a liver. No stripers,they seem to have vacated the Potomac and are well on their way to the Bay by now but the season just opened this weekend.This Channell cat did co-operate and got us a few catfish inches..Go team 6! Lots of little cats around 16 to 20 inches but no real monsters.Tons of floating wood and trees in the water from high tides and rain last week.There will be many more inches of cats as soon as we learn the ways of the lower Potomac but it wasn't all bad 75+ degrees and I got a sunburn!!All fish were returned,I cant quite bring myself to eat catfish from water that has flowed past the city! Joe

Very diplomaticly put Rick. Joe

Pm Rick or Roy and they will fix you right up.Welcome back. Joe

Nice cats,glad to see they are back swimming around.Once they get that big there is not much sense in keeping them.The meat is soft and the toxins are high. Joe

When the plumber looks at your plumbing problem and says "I ain't never seen anything like that before"and takes out his camera phone and sends the pics to his brother.

That looks a bit like TJ's outfit....This thread just getss sillier by the day! Joe

I know I'm not from y'alls country but the conservation license should be dropped.The guys from the states will pay whatever the price is so you may as well have a full license price.Out of state licenses in the states are way high.I would guess that most fisherman from the south are c&r.Its an expierience thing,not a meat gathering mission.As far as limits,its tough to have limits for individual lakes but they do it here for stretches of the rivers.It has been C&R on a 7 mile stretch of the river I fish for the last decade for bass.I would say that if the CO's had more money to work with then the limits could be tailored to a particular body of water and enforced.Maybe the extra money could come from the elimination of the conservation license? Joe

Ouch!!!!Hope you get well soon.Try not to sneeze. Joe

Will be good to see you posting here from your home puter again. Joe

Now thats funny!!! Joe

With that hat and TJ's Tutu you never know what could happen.Must be something in that water north of here. Joe

Now thats just wrong!!Rocket would take great offence to that.

I am partial to Ophilia.I love that song by the Band,named my first pygmy goat that.What ever you decide on thats a cute pup.Terriors are a special type of dog ,its latin for chicken eater.I have chickens so I have no terriors.Just a couple of 85lb non chicken eating mutts. Joe

Found these hoodlums on the water. Joe

Happy Birthday youngster.I agree Paul does need a haircut,one like Steve!Maybe we can have a shearing contest at Lakair. Joe

A couple of us in there now. Joe

Thats some scary stuff Gary.Listen to the doctors and we'll see you in Amy in June... Joe

I think douG just got some for his birthday... Joe

Coming from Motor Trend does not impress me.Maybe Consumer reports would a little bit.I have a 99 Suburban that is a fine truck but I think the Toyota and Nissan are gonna outlast the domestic products.All in all the stuff made now is much more reliable and better quality than the stuff made in the 70's and 80's.Remember the 12,000 24 month warranty on NEW vehicles??Now as far as the trucks from the 60's....they are gold!!! Joe

They are not releasing much info,I know a lot of kids were hert jumping out of windows.There is something weird about this whole thing.Usually they have a descpition of the gunman and the types of weapons used but none of that this time.Wonder if it was a terrorist attack?Time will tell. Joe
