That's probably true because I remember the last time I saw him. I told him I needed to CHECK on something and he started to hiccup repeatedly. I didn't know why though at the time. When the hiccupping stopped, I said it was nice to visit with you and I'll CHECK in with you later. Then the hiccups started up right away again.

Thanks for the heads up on his problem since I'd just figured he was getting strange with old age.  :doah:

TGO spent a chunk of change on DDS's maribou jigs last winter, and can barely  afford to buy his two grandchildren any presents because of it!! :cry:
If Lee would ever change his underwear, or the $20 bill he brings to Ely, I may be able to buy one for the store! ;D

There had been what I thought was an abandoned vehicle parked in front of the shop for several days, until I saw Houle jump in and drive away with it!  :happybounce: :happybounce: :happybounce:
I'd advise you to buy a bike, or take a taxi instead of driving that thng! :happy1:

Well, I dragged out the old BWCA mean machine today. She sure was looking forward to hitting the road on Friday. A little more grease, 20 more lbs. of air in one tire & 5 in the other. Added another 2 bling bumper stickers to the trailer. To :censored: hot here to work outside nonstop so tried doing some inside peroration. The motor started right up on the first turn of the key. I figure I'll cover between 400 & 500 miles on the water while there. My tops was 575 miles one year while on vacation. That's a lot of miles on the water.

I'll be up and outside extra early tomorrow to load and cover the mean machine before it hits 100 degrees.

I can't wait to be greeted by all the bugs in Ely :banghead:

Hey Lee better pack some more fishing line  :fishing2: got a report last night that water is so high on lakes that camping spots are flooded and water is over the banks. If you and Borgie are not to careful you may drift away in the night on your air mattresses. But then again Great might be able to hook you up.  :coffee:  Just a matter of a few days and Lee and Borgie will be in my neck of the woods. Bingo Hall will be extending it's hours and things will get quiet on the board, except for DDS telling the rest of us all what he is going to do, once he gets out fishing. :happybounce:

I see since I've been gone cleaning up from 90 plus straight line winds around my place from fathers day the children need to be reigned back in.  

Bobby your fish will be judged when we feel like it, keep you girdle on.  Not like it's the catch of the century or anything.

G.O. good thing you posted the answers to your questions for Willy or he wouldn't be able to get anything done for 2 months trying to figure them out.  Stop being so nice!

DDS what do you need a car for?  You take 4 rights and still can't figure out where you are.  Must be a Marion Wayne thing.  3 cheers for team Broke Back :Clap: :Clap: :Clap:
