did you get it wrapped in a plastic bag?

Yes.

btw, why don't you and your friend (bob?) fly out to montana for the
july thing this year...i think you'd enjoy fishing with us out there,
and i know we'd enjoy seeing you again.

Thanks very much, Jeff! I would like to do that. I'll see if Bill,
or if he's not interested, another buddy, might like to do it.

time to branch out from lord chesterfield country. g

Never fished Montana, but I did quite a bit of fishing in the area
around Estes Park, Colorado, when my wife's parents lived there, years
ago.
