Looks like I'm to have to go out fishing for me instead of money with clients. This way I can wrap this contest up for the best team on the site and take the pressure off everyone. Although I will miss all the  :bs: when it's all over  :cry:

Nice pike BB!,  :fishing:

Well, we knew It was just a matter of  time. What's the plan for the victory party at The Lodge? I figured we'd see if ~gg~  could help us out by putting up the decorations and working the spot lights from the balcony as we stroll out on to the stage one at a time to receive the awards.

Our VIP list should be very impressive with Angelina & Brad sitting in the first row. I took the liberty of sending out the invite for them this morning. I talked to Jack Nicholson last night when he called to let me know he'll be there for sure.

I was also thinking since  :queen: is going to be helping us out so much we should do something nice for her. So, what if we have her husband sit up in the first row right next to Kathryn Zeta Jones? Now not to forget all the little people of course since without them there would be no losers. Therefore we can set up a room in the back for the less fortunate teams to view the whole event on big screen TV.

I haven't heard from ESPN yet, but I'm sure it's just a matter of time once the word gets out.

With six weeks left in the Challenge I thought it would be nice to sit on top and enjoy the veiw. Phone has been ringing off the hook here this morning with calls from well wishers and others looking to scalp tickets to the awards dinner. We didn't even have any tickets but now I am having Kermit at the print shop make some up.  Hammering Hank and Skinny were already here this morning loking at how they can add on to the stage to carry all three of the Lodge team members.  It's not over, yet.....

Well after last nights high winds and heavy rain the summer pattern is gone I would think. I'll give it a few days to settle down and i'll be back out there looking for a bigger northern to increase the Lodges lead!  :whistling:

I haven't had a line in the water since July but I can't sit on my laurels any longer. The Queen must put back near the top. It really does look like long live the Kings though.

Hey, well look at that!!!  ^^^^^^^  :woot: :woot: If you can't read it clearly, let me repeat it for you here:

THE QUEEN MUST BE PUT BACK ON TOP!!!

I might have "rephrased a teeny, tiny bit, because I don't know about this "near" business, but BACK ON TOP is all I care about!!

....guess what boys???

......MY PARTNERS BACK!!!  :dancinred:  :party1:  :dancinred:  :party1:

Getting to be crunch time here, just a little over three weeks left in the Challenge! No Indian summer as of yet so fishing is tuff in the rain and cool weather. Looks like the Lodge is still in first place but not that far ahead that one good fish can take over first place.

With the challenge winding down now is a good time to make suggestions as to any changes that need to be made. Ideas? Things you like, dislike about the format?

Thanks for letting us know John Doe. Just so you don't feel alone I have seen several notes the same as yours on my outhouse door.  :moon: We have ignored them as no one else would work for the same pay.
