I've had better summers...
 

Not a complaint, just an FYI for those that know me...hey, I'm still on
the right side of the grass! Spring bluegill fishing was fine in my local
lake, it always is until about late June and later until the weather
cools down in the fall. Went in for a routine eye exam for new glasses
last month and discovered big-assed cataracts in both eyes, the last
surgery was performed about two weeks ago and I now no longer need
glasses for distance vision. I wasn't aware that part of the surgery was
to implant intraocular lenses to correct for distance vision, nice
surprise there! Will get examined for reading glasses in another week or
so. Going in Monday for more shoulder surgery, arthroscopy this time on
my casting shoulder, as it is now I can't cast anything heavier than a 2
or 3 wt for more than an hour or so. Still hoping to make it to Maine in
Sept if the surgery is successful, gonna try for smallmouth on the
Androscoggin if I'm lucky. As usual Dave Bottom (brooktrout) will be my
guide. (I haven't forgotten you Louie, will let you know the dates in
Maine, probably right after Labor Day, depends on Dave's schedule)

Hey Dad! Work your ass off on that PT after the shoulder surgery. It
worked great for me. Good luck getting out to Maine.

your "sources?")

I'll be in camps from the 12 - 18 with Joanne. I will either go up the
week before or the week after. Have to contact some fishing friends
and see which weeks they will be there.

Hope to see you, Frank.

Sorry Frank, any sources I had are long gone, I retired from driving in
07 and never looked back.

....dang, I had forgotten about her, that was a long time ago and a fun
trip I'll remember. Actually, I have been seeing a masseuse for almost
four years now, costs me a thousand bucks for 30 one hour sessions,
prepaid in order to get that good price. She is a beautiful 39 yr old
blonde that I've been hitting on for all those years...we have become
good friends and I always look forward to our weekly sessions...I told
her that she has fondled my body more than all three of my previous
wives put together, she likes to hear that...

Funny the turn this has taken. When I logged on to roff just now the
subject lines of the two unread posts waiting for me we

Hummers - D. LaCourse
I've had better summers - Frank Church

My poor brain, such as it is, somehow came up with the reading:

I've had better hummers.



And here we are. That's all. Carry on.

.....and Frank will certainly see you Dave, now that he's had the op.

Frank can see more than he can have now.

Well done Frank

I hope your tune-up and overhaul go well. I guess you have to
expect those occasionally when you start getting high mileage. ;-)

Good luck on that smallie trip !

Thanks Kenny, the arthroscopy went very well yesterday, took the sling off
this morning and started the recommended excersizes. Only needed 2 Vicodin
all day. (I excersized restraint and didn't take more than I needed) New
reading glasses are in the offing then the overhaul is complete. With my
mileage if I wuz a car they'd have carted me off to the boneyard by now.

Fixed up in Fremont
