Hi Joe,

Just finished! I'll pack 'm tomorrow en post 'm the day after.

damn!! now that just aint right nor proper hans. you obviously don't
realize the pain, sweat, blood, expense, stress, cussing, missed meals,
wasted materials, etc. that are required for these swaps. premature
flyjaculation is simply unacceptable and impolite. g

jeff (who hasn't yet acquired the materials to begin tying a sal****er
fly of some type... wayno, where do you keep your vise?)


just down the road at friendly shopping center. i let this nice
guy use it most of the time. he does a pretty good job. doesn't have
my speed, though.

wayno(just let me know if you need a little help)

....a little help you say? uh...apparently you forget the albatrosses i
must confront daily in the pitt.

my good chap, i say, can you have your man do up a few of those glass
minnow or gummy minnow things for the nonce? if necessary, though i'd
never wish to impose, perhaps you could do a few of your own
making...yours are a true art and finely crafted, and will be ardently
admired no doubt by these hurriers of the hook and feather. i'm sure
you've noted that all these foreign, non-carolinian *******s are
preparing flies quicker than any nigerian, korean, thai, chinese, or
morganton contract worker...ruining the cadence of the swap. those of us
committed to quality fly tying know too well that one must suffer
patiently for the art.

never been done)
