If you haven't left for Maine yet, I had to cancel out again this year as
this friggin shoulder is very slow to heal. Physical therapy to continue
until 23 Sep at which time I do it at home until sick of the excersizes.
Dave Bottom reports his last time out on the Androscoggin the water was
really low and he netted two chubs, no bass. That report alone would've
stopped me from coming up. Have a good time up north, maybe I'll make it up
next year.

Hey, get better, Frank. Is there anything they can do for the
shoulder? Mine has bothered me for years and I got a shot of corisone
a couple of years ago. It helped alot.

We leave in the morning for Lakewood. It is very cool up there and the
flow is only 400 cfs. Should be good fishing. The Andy is *very* low
because of the low flow out of Middle Dam all summer.

I'm headed for a hip replacement in early December. Will have to come
back from Georgia for a couple of months, but it has to be done.

You take care of yourself, ya old fart, and plan on those brookies and
landlocks next year.
