Okay, despite the best planned lays of mice and men (was that
right?), I'm not going to get my ties flied for this years GFS. I
had high hopes of doing up a dozen while in New Zealand, but the
combination of long days and longer necked bottles meant I never got
to tie up any. Now that I'm back in Hongo Congo, work starts
tomorrow and I don't see any opportunity to get them tied in the
next week. I'm not entirely sure I even see an opportunity to get
my day job done in the next week.
I know, I know. Twenty noodles with a wet lash, but I'd rather have
a #22 Mustad driven up my little toenail than apologize on roff.

Please accept them, tyers. :-(

Real men don't make excuses. I'm at a convention in Orlando and
brought my tying stuff with me so Frank and all the people counting
of getting 23 flies won't think less of me for bailing out. Just got
back from the annual Sales dinner (and many glasses of fine Italian
wine and an unbelievable wonderful salmon dinner) and tied a few
flies because. . . I am the alpha-male.
Frank - rest assured the flies will be there on time because REAL MEN
don't wimp out on obligations.

Who loves ya, Myron. ;-)

I'm forced to agree with Timmy.

I'll be damned. Shall I halt the spinning of the globe?

I see several posts to ROFF over the
past couple of days - time that could have been used for tying.

REAL men can post to roff and tie flies with the other hand.

****
damn, just open up your fly box and pick out a handful of decent
looking flies. I promise that nobody (except me) will go over them
with a magnifying glass.

Zackly. Wayno has this type of tying down to an art.
