Hmm, most folks get sick *after* reading roff, not before. ;-)

Tell him to get well soon.

Great! What will you be tying?

Oh no, not me. The only time I was in a swap I had
Frank Sr. promising to remove and rearrange some of
my body parts. For a cuddly masseuse magnet he can
be a mean old cuss. ;-)

......a direct result of running out of masseuses Kenny ;-)

Yes, you.

It could only be an improvement. ;-)

Yeah, but I'm easy. The way things are shaping up are like this: the sign up
will end on 8/22, and the due date will be somewhere around 9/14 (real rules
and dates will follow after the sign up ends.) Of course, I'm hoping some of
the DDFS "usual suspects" (not to drop any names, but John Whiteley, Joshua
Rosenblatt, Matt McCray, Myron "riverman" Buck, Paul "bouncer" Morrison,
Paul Williamson, Peter Charles, Randy "bugcaster" Kane, Stev Lenon, Svend
Tang-Petersen, Tim Carter, Tom Littleton, Tony Weall and friend Eddie,
Warren Findley, Wayne Patton, et. al.) come around and join soon. If you
start now, you could EASILY have the nine flies required at this time
finished before the swap begins. Get off yer behind and join the freakin'
swap!

Hey, Frank. Are you close enough to go over there and kick Forty's butt?

All this talk about vises and tying reminded me that I *promised* myself
I wouldn't wait until December this year to hold the annual Dog Days Fly
Swap. This will be the TAJFIADDFS (Third Annual Joe Fleischman in
Absentia Dog Days Fly Swap, for those counting such things.)

This swap is for patterns you've found most successful during the warm
months of summer. The rules are simple: If 15 people join, you tie 15
flies. If 1,000 people join. . . well, let's shoot for somewhere between
15-30. The past few years have been between 15-20. More rules for
tagging, shipping, etc. will follow once we've established if there is
any interest in the swap.

Since I'm in the process of moving from one home to another, I'm going
to set the sign-up period from now through August 22. That's the date
that I return to work and known-working Internet connectivity. It's also
probably the date that I'll be able to find my tying stuff again.
BTW, one of the nice things about this move is that I'll be able to
establish territory as a fly-tying zone. WooHOOOO!

Just reply to this post if you're interested and I'll put you on the
list.

Tony - Check your yahoo email. Sorry we missed you for this swap; you always
tie great flies and help make the swaps a true international event. I had
sent you an email trying to get in touch with you and Eddie before the
deadline, but must have had an old email address. If someone cancels, I'll
let you know. Also, keep an eye out here on roff/rofft for updates.
