asdve23rveavwa Posted July 22, 2011 Report Posted July 22, 2011 Dang that's a awesome amount for pledges I only had Dad give us a pledge it is hard down here to get help for just about anything with the workforce right now. Yeah, things are tough for alot of people. That news article on the Canadian Cancer Society a few weeks back didn't help either...actually had a couple people mention that while getting a few of our pledges. However, anything helps!! It's great to see what can be done with "modern medicine"...ask Wayne!
Handlebarz Posted July 22, 2011 Report Posted July 22, 2011 It's great to see what can be done with "modern medicine"...ask Wayne! Frank I here ya on that as my Grandfather lost his battle a short time after they found his cancer back in the 80's, but my father has been giving a great battle for 5 years now and is 2 years past his expiry date that they gave him.( he still sais he has 5 years left in him) I dont post alot of updates but he did get good news on Monday he gets to take the summer off and not start up until October so we plan to get a bunch of fishing in before October comes around.
asdve23rveavwa Posted July 22, 2011 Report Posted July 22, 2011 Quick weather update for Langton area...chance of t-storms...60% AM, 30% afternoon, 40 % PM. Ryan does have the pavilion rented out, so we definitely have a dry spot if necessary. The lake is relatively small for those that don't know it, so, if we do have thunder and/or lightning rolling in, we can get back to the launch area quickly. If you're using mono line and it starts to float...get the heck off the water (speaking from experience on this one!!). Let's ALL have a fantastic time, and be safe!! Looking forward to seeing some of you that I haven't seen in awhile, as well as, meeting a bunch of others
d_paluch Posted July 22, 2011 Report Posted July 22, 2011 The girlfriend and I are pumped for this! I have been counting down the days since I originally heard about it! Only got $90 in pledges, but every penny counts! Hope everyone has a good time tomorrow and we stay dry, I would hate for it to rain hard as my poor dinghy wouldn't survive very well If anyone knows any hotspots pm me, I'll take any tips that are being given Good Luck all!

vinnimon Posted July 23, 2011 Report Posted July 23, 2011 Thanks Frank and Albert, Mike that was the exact reason JK. I was asked today to come in on monday for overtime, so I accepted. Now I have to push 3 days of work into 2 at home . I told my girls this as well and a chance thunderstorms as well. They took it well. My youngest made me promise a morning of fishing on sunday Best of luck to all of you that are attending
Leecher Posted July 23, 2011 Report Posted July 23, 2011 I'll bump it up to the top to say good luck to all tomorrow... be safe and fish hard
