Few years ago I had to give roff a rest cause it was just too easy to spend
too much time in here instead of doing stuff that's really fun

Just popped in today to see what was going on and there they were, the
'usual suspects' as vocal as ever.

Damn guys .... how the hell do you ever get the time to go fishin?--

Some of us have studied hard and mastered the ancient secret art of doing
two or more things a month.

unfortunates for whom monotasking is an insurmountable hurdle.

Well the only thing I am doing this month is recuperating. Roger said I'd
never be able to cast left handed properly because I was holding my shoulder
wrong, so I had the whole thing rebuilt.

You don't think he was kidding do you?

I'll post pics tomorrow when I change the dressing for the first time...

Hm......

Well, I've never actually fished with Roger, so I can't speak with the
authority of first hand experience to the question of his prowess in matters
pertaining to angling.....or even whether or not he does in fact fish, for
that matter. On the other hand, we have the testimony of sundry more or
less reliable witnesses, as well as his own contributions here, supporting
the proposition that he does.....and distressingly well at that. Then too,
I HAVE stood next to Roger and it strikes me that any theory advanced by
someone big enough to cast one like a bug (ninety feet with a short three
weight, I'd guess) is worth taking seriously.

On the other side of the equation, we have the safe (at this distance)
assumption that Roger probably doesn't know squat about surgery in general
or, more specifically, about the efficacy or advisability of this particular
procedure for the correction of left handed casting deficiencies. This is a
sound argument, marred only by the niggling detail that there doesn't seem
to be any evidence of his having suggested (or supported) the idea in the
first place.

To complicate matters further, in a place like this there will always be a
contingent of fractious individuals who will insist that this is all mere
speculation. An annoying observation, to be sure, but not easily
dismissable, for all that. Furthermore, they (the meddlesome *******s) will
say, since the corrective action is a fait accompli, the point is rendered
moot anyway. This argument, too, is mildly disturbing, but not entirely
without merit on the face of it.

Bottom line? Yes or no......probably.

I'll post pics tomorrow when I change the dressing for the first time...


It occurs to me that the way you shed body parts, you should stick close to
Frank........he could use them to replace the ones he breaks.

Well, you remember how it is.......it takes the boys a while to recover from
that first emotional rush after reading such a heart warming and thought
provoking reintroduction from a long lost prodigal brother.

It'll come.

Wait for it.

Actually, I remember exactly how it is. Don't mistake my comment as woeful
pining over unrealized expectations. It's simply a wry observation of
"how it is" ... but thanks for the pointed reminders ... I knew I could
count on you.

I never doubted it for a moment.

An observation deserving of a fitting example, wouldn't you say?

but thanks for the pointed reminders ...


You're welcome.

I knew I could count on you.


Whatever else may transpire in this topsy-turvy world, it's nice to know
that at least home never changes, ainna?
