Brown trout question/hearing aids saga

No, but I did spend the next 4 or 5 hours scouring the ground, inch by
inch, blade by blade. No freaking idea how they got past me. Even now, I'm
tempted to back to that campground with a metal detector and find those
damn
earrings. I'm pretty sure I'd recognize every little pebble and anthill!

I have metal detected for years. I lost one of those tiny sprayers on a
mist system in the grass. It was made out of brass. It took me one minute
to find it. I have found lots of things for friends, and would bet a
sixpack that I could have found it for you. If you do return there, with a
metal detector, you will probably find it.

Take your rod along, just in case you encounter any fishing spots.

Have you ever done something so stupid that you expect men with

you?

Nope.......never fished with a gun.

Wolfgang


And what exactly does that mean?

I've been an avid fly fisher for about twenty years. Prior to taking up
fly
fishing, I spent a couple of years doing a lot of spin fishing after a
hiatus of about a decade and a half. In my youth I fished mainly with
bait.
I never used a gun for any of that.

Better?

At least now I understand what you are talking about, and where you are
coming from.

I had a 5 way bypass and aortic valve replaced two+ years ago. I take
Coumadin, an anticoagulant. Snakes, particularly rattlers, mostly have
hemotoxins, meaning they attack the blood. Some, such as the Mojave Green
Rattlesnake have neurotoxins, just like a cobra.

A snakebite to me would probably be fatal. I carry a gun with snakeshot for
snakes. I also carry a gun most of the time due to circumstances I will not
explain, and am licensed in 38 states to do so.

I carry in neither place because of paranoia, things that go bump in the
dark, or what-if hypotheses. There ARE some things out there that can and
will kill you. Well, maybe not YOU, but you get my drift. And were you and
I fishing side by side, you would not know I was armed.

Hope that this explains where I was coming from.

Hey, I met Scott, even went fishing with him
last year. He's 6-2, weighs about 180, blonde
hair and green eyes. And he hates beer.

Yep, that's how I remember him.

Ok, Scott's been cleared. Who's next?

Mark --He's got no horns and he's got no tail--

You flatter yourself.

and where you are
coming from.

Not likely......it's a place you've never been to.

I had a 5 way bypass and aortic valve replaced two+ years ago.

Take two lard sandwiches and call me in the morning.

I take
Coumadin, an anticoagulant.

I take exception......and sometimes umbrage......antiimbeciles.

Snakes, particularly rattlers, mostly have
hemotoxins, meaning they attack the blood.

No kidding? Is that what hemotoxin means? Huh......whod'a thunk it.

Some, such as the Mojave Green
Rattlesnake have neurotoxins, just like a cobra.

Those, presumably, would not be the ones that carry hemotoxins, right? And
I'm going to guess that all these proteinaceous reservoirs have something to
do with something. Let's see, shall we?.......

A snakebite to me would probably be fatal.

Ah! I see. Sometimes it takes a while for those of us who enjoy a bit of
hemotoxin or neurotoxin from time to time to remember that there are those
unfortunate few who, like yourself, don't much cotton to them.

I carry a gun with snakeshot for
snakes.

See, and I thought it would be for the buffalo. I guess I don't know quite
as much about snake**** as I though I did.

I also carry a gun most of the time due to circumstances I will not
explain,

Yeah, well, color me surprised.

and am licensed in 38 states to do so.

My mother is liscensed to drive in 50 states......and Puerto Rico. If I
were informed that she intended to do so in any of them, I'd shoot her
myself.......um.......unless, of course, there was reason to suspect that
you would be somewhere to either side of where she thought she was aiming.

I carry in neither place because of paranoia,

Neither of 38? Or was that in circumstances?

things that go bump in the
dark,

That would be your skull, judging by the melon-like tone.

or what-if hypotheses.

Hm......well, what if you were attacked by......oh.....say, a snake?

There ARE some things out there that can and
will kill you.

I could carry 38 guns and one day one of them will kill me anyway. As a
matter of fact, 38 guns would slow a boy down enough that in all likelihood
something would catch him sooner rather than later.

Well, maybe not YOU,

Yes, ME! Isn't that what I just got done saying?

but you get my drift.

Yeah, that's your problem. Well, the immediate problem anyway.

And were you and
I fishing side by side, you would not know I was armed.

No, I'm sure you're right about that. There is no way I could possibly know
that you carry a gun after you've mentioned it in a public forum. Moreover,
you may rest assured that if you and I were fishing side by side, at least
one of us would be dead.

Hope that this explains where I was coming from.

Indeed, it does.......somewhere in the vicinity of Uranus.

I have always found it entertaining that people who have an .edu ISP have so
much time for doing nothing.

Plonk. See ya. Best wishes.
