I'd almost forgotten about that one.... sheesh it was a hard and long day for 2 fish and the worse part is, that's not the worst trip we've had! We've been several times now and as a yearly event, had good weather, bad weather and nil catches but we still seem willing to go back for more. This was on our (URFG) equivalent to your 'claves. It took place in North Wales on the Brenig Reservoir. *we were crap ff'rs Hey! I'll have you know I can thrash the water into a foam as good as the next guy! ;o) but great 'clavers. heh... agreed. Do you recall the fishing & camping experience a few years back? Different venue, but same sort of results. We all brought standard single or 2 berth tents while Dave had brought his large 8 or 10 berth family tent and we were all socialising in there one evening. We had a mosquito coil burning INSIDE and with the doors/flaps closed, drinking beer, barbeque on the go outside, billions of biting midges, drinking beer and funny smelling tobacco wafting around with the anti mosquito smoke (did I mention drinking beer?) Well... we didn't manage to kill ourselves but I reckon a few of the ol' brain cells may have gone! ;o) This side of the pond, we have found out that killing off those brain cells makes you smarter: Well ya see, Norm, it’s like this… A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. “In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. “In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That’s why you always feel smarter after a few beers.” Frank Reid |

Our American friends don't rough it as we did - and I envy them their cabin comforts. Our little one man tents would have been far less sociable - Dave's 6 berth tent /made/.the week end. Spare ribs black and burnt never tasted better. -- Bill Grey |

It's not like PJ & I were ever close friends, or even distant acquaintances beyond his appreciation for my Wild Turkey Rare Breed a long while back; but it's been a while since a good PJ tale. Joe F. Remember the one at Wally's Spring Fling where PJ walked several miles into a remote mountain stream with a rod borrowed from the Boy Lawyer? Upon arriving at the stream, PJ took one cast and the rod folded like it had a hinge in the butt section. In fact it *did* have a hinge in the butt section as demonstrated by PJ trying to cast off of the rear porch at Clave Central. Never saw a rod break like that. Dave |
