We have been there a few times ourselves Jer. Take solace in the fact that you had 12 great years and that his life could not have been better. The loss is tough but the reward of having them in our lives more than makes up for it. There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors. Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge, there is a land of meadows, hills and valleys with lush green grass. When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place. There is always food and water, and warm Spring weather. Those old and frail animals are young again. Those who have been maimed are made whole again. They play all day with each other. But there is only one thing missing. They are not with their special person who loved them on earth. So, each day they run and play until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up. The nose twitches, the ears are up, the eyes are staring, and this one suddenly runs from the group. You have been seen, and when you and your special friend meet, you take him or her in your arms and embrace. Your face is kissed again and again and again and you look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated. Author unknown

Looks like a great time. I know he was there with you too.

Dang elitist mods.......

Ya mean this is not full size already!

Amazing Marty thanks for sharing a little of your Mom's life with us.

I'm with JF here. The most expeditious route IMHO is the media, TV, Newspaper, maybe even Outdoor/Fishing Mags. You still have the legal route if all else fails. Sounds like you have pretty darn good documentation of the facts.

I can hear that sizzle now Terry!

No worries Joe, he is still hiding beind his avatar..... Great stuff guys, sounds like a stellar day!

OK, I'll be the first idiot to ask. Why do you need two HDS8's at the console?

We're home, great time as usual. Great to meet you Julie. Will leave the comments to a minimum as we all know what goes on at Lakair.........well you all know the rest. Will post some censored pics tomorrow.

Roy only allows females to register and then their husbands/significant others have to go through a lengthy initiation. He will be interviewing this weekend. Bring the Old Milwaukee, it usually shortens the process. Welcome to purgatory.

Bring photo's.......

He'll be crying in his cornflakes over that one Jer.

Yes I'm bringing one too.......I have slept with one eye open for the last 36 years....

Have a safe trip guys, see you Thursday.

Staged or not..........."Here's Your Sign".............

Yeah, I always bring a little something with me....I have a few prizes too...........

I believe it was $8.00 last year Gerritt

Warm welcome brufan. Hope you like it here.

Welcome Pangle, pull up a chair and stay a while.

Welcome Alex, we like photo's........

Let me know when you have a free day or two Cliff. We will bring the cow, pig, chicken and holy water. My supply of virgins has dwindled over the years though. PM me or e-mail me and let me know. We can exhaust my many tackle boxes, they don't work too well either. Be well my friend!

Hi Sam, sounds like you are having fun down under. Great photo's! I had an uncle who worked on the rigs in the North Sea so I used to get lots of first hand info on what it was like.

Sincere condolences Fisherman. Moms are very special people, mine has been gone almost 4 years now and I still think of her every day. J...

Hey Graeme why don't you come up to the OFC GTG at Lakair (June 18,19,20) and stay the following week?
