Going Away

Wasn't Football invented for people who have nothing better to do with their
time and money. LOL. Imagine....a sport with 60 minutes of "running" time.
Each play is 5-10 seconds with 30 seconds of replays in between. Probably
only 10 to 15 minutes of actual "playing time" per game, and million dollar
salaries to boot. Give me Hockey with 60 REAL minutes or Baseball with 27
outs and I'd get my moneys worth.. Come to think of it , with Okeechobee,
Toho, Istokpoga, and freshwater canals at my dock, is there really any sport
besides Bass Fishin'?

Muskie fishing, crappie fishing, walleye fishing, hunting with a bow,
hunting with a rifle, hunting with a shotgun, there's definitely more to do
than bass fishing. And to me, they're all preferrable to watching a bunch
of overpaid whiners get millions for playing in 16 games a year!

Couldn't agree more. I suppose I could find other things to do down here.
Was never into hunting, though. Last summer I spent a lot of time doing the
Hurricane Shutter Shuffle. Does that count ? Wish Moe was still down
here(where is he now?) I think he left because he owed me a half day from 4
years ago, before I moved down here. Sure would like to pick him up to spend
some time in the Champion 202 I bought. As for football, as long as people
keep shelling out hard earned money to see 15 minutes of playing time those
crybabies are set and aren't about to change.

You forgot trout fishing. ;-)

I like college football, perhaps because I can walk to Memorial
Stadium, have a beer and a brat at the tailgate party, and then
yell myself hoarse with 70,000 of my closest friends. Never much
cared for the pro game.

This is true, but I don't do much trout fishing any more. I used to, about
15 years ago, but then again, I lived on a trout stream and would come home
from work in the morning (I worked the night shift), put on hip boots, catch
a couple 9 - 10 inch brook trout and have them for breakfast before going to
bed. :-)

The bigger ones I'd release.

I lived in a rented house trailer on Lake Guntersville
in Alabama some ... whoa ... 30 years ago now. I worked
swing shift at a textile factory spinning polyester. I
fished with the first fly rod I ever bought for myself,
a cheap old Garcia Conolon 8' 7wt from Service Merchandise
and one of my dad's hand-me-down Pflueger Medalist reels.

I caught a lot of bass in those days, kept the fly rod in
the back seat year round, just in case. Caught a lot of
bluegill too, I wasn't smart enough back then to know that
you don't fish for bluegill with a 7wt. ;-)
