pigeonfisher Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 (edited) All, How are things in the great white north? Long time no check in. I understand that in my absence you in Ontario have decided to implement a new tax. Always a good idea, I hope it doesn't have much of a negative impact on consumer spending or industry...DANG. Y'all must be about ready for the ice fishing season? Everyone getting the Barbie sleds (or other method of transport) all geared up and waxed for the upcoming season? Here in Hanover, PA we had the first ice fishing season in a decade last year. One of the folks I work with has a hubby who guides out of the Chesapeake for Rock fish and other fun species, he is gonna take me out on the local lake here if it freezes this year. All out here is well... I have attached a pic of the family.. Like the rest of the world we are looking forward to an uptic in this economy during 2010. With any luck it will help us all with our ability to add to our gear collections. My current collection is of the running sort. I have a race on Saturday and then start winter training for a 1/2 marathon in March. Should be a lot of fun. Kristi has started running with me a couple days per week which is a nice treat! Although I haven't been around much lately, a number of you are always in my thoughts. I hope that this Holiday is a wonderful time for all of you guys. Firstly, travel safely. Make the right decisions when it's time to drive home from your various outings! Enjoy all of your family this Christmas, it is easy for us all to take them for granted. Be well guys & dolls!

pigeonfisher Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Actually I traded in for a Manny. Like a Nanny but does all the stuff I should do around the house. hahahahaaa about 70lbs off this year...Weighing in these days around 188. Rick, how have you been in the new world? Saw you were taking a young lady fishing in Port D. Very nice. Thanks for the welcome, Roy. You just never know when that could work out. I haven't been back to La Bell Province for some time. Be well all and play safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigeonfisher Posted December 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Thanks for the nice replies fellas. DooGle, We don't have a lot of Pho out here. A town nearby has what they call "Award Winning" Thai cuisine. It is hard to get a babysitter at night for the band of monkeys though. Perhaps I will need to pick some up as a treat for everyone on Christmas Eve. Brian, you guys getting busier at the shop? Still hittin' the gym? Lew, As I recall you took the summer off OFC to recluse yourself up at the lake. I am sure that you had a productive season chasing those pesky shoal carp! Raf, We are well. How are you doing? Still on the water with JP a lot? Things are well... The more I think it would be nice to be closer to home, the more having my family with me reminds me that I am in fact home. Home changes locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
