How does a Fly Fisherman Know that his easy wading days are behind him
 

Any of you people out here remember when you were called or known as
"Super Wader' or something like that? I used to stuff cinder blocks in
my vest and waders just so I could wade a rocky stretch that was up to
my neck( BS) just my chest maybe.........Man, what I used to do without
a wading staff now, I need an overhead crane to support me in the
shallows.......not really I think I can still keep up with the 30-40 yr
olds, ship I know that I can, in my mind, but my legs ..........jeez , I
do not think that they (my legs) are any longer part of my mind and
body.....when do we know that we are doing our final casting ballet? How
does your career in the passion of the sport which you thought that you
would never tire of feel now when you are getting tired in the
body.......I did not say mind............F/T:crap:

I feel your pain. I suffered some sort of nerve damage in my upper arm/
shoulder last June that resulted in near paralysis of my casting arm
and complete loss of dexterity in my fingers. The prognosis was for a
2-4 month recovery time, but as of today its creeping up on 6 months,
and although movement and strength has mostly returned to everything
but my little finger, there is not enough dexterity to control my cast
(or to control the line or reel if I cast left handed). And when I try
to thread a #16 fly, my arm and hand shake so much that I cannot hope
to get the tippet through.

After dealing with the angst of losing all last summers' fishing, I
find it unbearable to believe that I might lose much of this summers'
fishing also. And anything else that requires two hands.

Can't offer you any constructive advice other than to take up a new
hobby....like drinking excessively while playing with loaded guns, or
something.

Ah, too late, Fred. Teddy Kennedy has already done that. Oh, wait a
minute....... that was a *car* not a gun. Killed someone anyway.
That's what matters.

Is that really what matters? GWB was also arrested for DUI in 1976,
but was lucky enough to have not killed anybody. Is GWB less guilty
of reckless behavior simply because he got lucky and *didn't* kill
someone? Are GWB's alcoholism and drug use to be criticized on par
with Kennedy's, or is there a double standard here? Unless luck is a
valid criterion for the office, GWB is as unfit to be president as Ted
Kennedy by your standard.

Laura (Welch) Bush ran a stop sign at age 17 and killed a classmate.
Does that really matter?

Whoaaaa. Seem to have struck a nerve in that sensitive tooth.

Ted Kennedy is a spoiled brat. Always has been, always will be. He
had a history of getting into trouble because of his drinking.
Remember the time he and Chris Dodd broke picture frames in a DC
eatery. Both blasted out of there minds. GWB has no such history.
Yeah, he got caught DUI. So did Mark Bowen. Remember when Teddy
Bear took his *son* and *nephew* out drinking in Florida and the
nephew was brought up on rape charges? Some uncle there! Kenney was
married to the sweetest woman you could ever meet, Joan. He drove her
to drink and today she is a helpless alchoholic. He got his marriage
annulled after 20+ years. What a hypocrite. Take a look at his
swollen gin-blossom face. He is a drunkard. Bush is not.

What really matters is that Teddy Bear has killed more people with his
Oldsmobile that died in Abu Ghraib prison.

Kennedy's new autobiography soon to be released is going to be called,
"The Sober Years... A 4 page pamphlet by Ted Kennedy".

What's the matter, Joe? Afraid Hillary is going down in flames? d;o)

My original post, Joe, was a come-back joke to Fred's joke, only he
wasn't joking.
