Nothing ironclad as yet. Mr. Knight has put in a request to encompass the
opening of grouse season......typically around the middle of September if
memory serves. No other preferences have been stated.

How about an evening (or lunch) of pulled pork barbecue sandwiches at UP
Chucks?

Well, I won't speak for the North Carolianian contingent, but I have no
objections. Besides, as you know (and as does anyone else who's been there)
our options are......um......restricted.

> . . . I'm a man of simple preferences....

And those of us who are simple know (and appreciate) that we have benefited
thereby. :)

Well, there is a chance that I may become a mid-westerner again by the
time that rolls around. Might join ya.

Going somewher Frankie???????????

[Frank Reid]

Might (its in the early stages) be going back to Omaha. Found out that
Offutt AFB is 1052 miles from Coburn, PA and also 1052 miles from West
Yellowstone, MT.
Might put a serious crimp in blasting up to Coburn for a weekend, but
might still do it.

we ought to go back to Rock Creek before the Bush folks sell off the
place--less crowded- and Jeff if you are bringing Rachel perhaps you could
rent that streamside cabin we had last time--Danl's wife could bring a mouse
trap--- and we could sneak over mountain into Idaho and fish kelly creek

manhatten?

Dont plan on many of the rivers being accessible in 2006 due to pending
legislation which may sell the national forests. Tha Gallatin and the
Madison in the national forests are for sale to private itnerestes
(mining ,real estate development).

In all honesty Frank, and I mean no disrespect, wear a hat. One of your more
outrageous hats. Ear flaps kind of starched so they stick out like wings.
Flannel is good. Wear many types of flannel in different colors - none
matching.

Now, I wouldn't quite go with galoshes, but some type of high top boots that
are not tied at the top (so that they 'flay open' at the tops) are good.

I would recommend two or three flannel shirts, all successively further
unbuttoned.

Now, your coat should have plenty of pockets, preferably with gloves,
string, empty cigarette packs and so forth hanging out.

If possible, snow on your knees is good.

The boots should be old and well scuffed.

Make sure your vehicle is very dusty, dirty , snow covered, and throw mud on
the plates so they can't see you are from out of state.

If you can't imitate the accent, just smile a lot and point at things on the
menu...

That should do it unless you are unfortunate and engage in
conversation......


Been there and I got a t-shirt from UP Chucks.....

Kinda like the Flying Nun meets Red Green?

Okay, already do that. With feet in them or without?

I could cut open the tops of my wellies. Which pair, domestic or Barbour?

Flannel is so butch. Very few can seriously carry it off.

Basic fatigue jacket, straight off the homeless guy in Milwakee. Oh
WOLFY!!!

> If possible, snow on your knees is good.

Now, that really is butch. Do I have an inspiration for this scene?

> The boots should be old and well scuffed.

Okay, goes with the snow on the knees.

Can't we just spritz my face with water and stand me in front of a fan?

Like a middle aged guy trying to read a menu without his reading glasses. I
don't know, its a stretch.

> That should do it unless you are unfortunate and engage in

Ah can handle that. You ever try to talk to a serious mathematician? They
ain't like the guy in Numb3rs.

> Been there and I got a t-shirt from UP Chucks.....

And I've up-chucked on my t-shirt. Can tell you that eggnog and tequilla is
a marriage made in hell.

How 'bout if I just relieve myself ON some sharp objects before crossing the
