Well, sorta. I don't have any Milano Design waders like you do, nor
do I have numerous sets for various duties. Just one set, G3s, that
have given me good performance at less than a buck a day. No status
symbol there.

well, unless his wife increases his allowance...

Teehee. Jo thinks that's funny.


you know - it's
sorta like an Audi...for folks who can't afford or handle a Porsche...

Actually I did the Porsche thing back in 84 before Jo and I were
married. Great car. Took it to the track often. Wasn't and still
isn't a practical automobile. The Audi RS6 (2003 only year it was
imported) is a reknown sports sedan capable of 0-60 times of 4.5
seconds (which, btw, blows many Porsches off the road). And, it does
it in the rain, snow, sunshine, whatever, while full of my fishing
gear, golf clubs, wife and dog. Try that with your "status symbol"
Porsche. d;o) You really don't know a helluvalot about cars do you,
Richie? d;o) Now, my AMG E63 is even faster and more luxurious than
the RS6, but, being rwd is no match for it in the rain or snow. The
RS6 really is a car for all seasons, for all purposes, and a blast to
drive regardless the weather. But, of course, you already knew that,
right? d'o)

oh, hell,
let's just call it like it is - it's like a President who claims he didn't have
sexual relations with that woman...or a candidate who says he'll close Gitmo on
day one, have the US out of Iraq within a year, and will fix healthcare before
his wife can arrange the first date nigh... er, important official trip to NYC
to make sure that the Tribeca Grill and the Jacobs theater aren't harboring
terrorists...IOW, a double heaping-helping of pure, unadulterated bull****...

While I would have to agree with your political analysis, most of what
you say is.......wait for it........ pure, unadulterated bull****.
Oh, yeah, forgot....... My Hodgemans didn't last one season. A
hundred plus bucks flushed down the john.

Did I tell ya that my Simms have cost me LESS than a buck a day? Such
a deal. Sorta like the RS6..... just keeps on tickin' embarassing
Porsches, BMWs, and other "Richie Status Symbols."

d;o)

Rick's right you know. With the introduction of the G4
as the state of the art wader, the G3 became overnight
a good quality wader for the budget conscious angler. ;-)


Uh, I don't endorse the G3s because they are a stutus symbol as Richie
seems to think. I buy them because they are very good at a reasonable
price. If I wanted a status symbol, I'd buy an AMG E63........ooops,
I already did. d;o)

And congrats on Jo's retirement.

Thanks. She's home today "trying out" her retirement schtick. Gonna
be great, methinks.

Actually, that's precisely why I bought mine! I figured the new G4s
were overpriced and overhyped, and the G3s would be a good quality
'also-ran' for a reasonable price.

And you are correct.

Whatcha doing the second week in August? I'm heading up north a bit
early this year. The Rapid is still fishing well, with lots of water
in the lakes.

Uh-huh...only an status-symbol-seeking idiot would buy G3s, as Simms themselves
says they aren't anything more than merely adequate waders. A quick look at
Simms' own advertising says the NEW! G4's are the only wader that any
self-respecting stumbleklutz****sport would allow anywhere near their kit. My
guess is that they'll find out you're the retired idiot married to a
soon-to-be-former ED trying to buy such pedestrian dross and call her a
divor...HEY! jeffie - have you made sure that you're on Simms' speed-dial list?
IAC, I guess _wannabe_ self-respecting stumbleklutz****sports buy such outdated
crap and kid themselves about how good their outdated crap really is...

HTH,
R

...and those $100USD or so Hodgman's that I use to duck hunt and on the bayous
have been through **** that would have reduced those G3s to little more than a
colander...or reduced a half-assed math teacher in Chinkland to wet-butt tears
(hey, as long as we're trolling...)

...and BTW, congrats to y'all...

for years now, i've been sending jo my blue-light special bulk mailing
of ez-divorce-r-us offerings. reckon i'll have to add a new paragraph
addressing this latest indignity.

....i originally had a pair of $100+ hodgman's...might be ok in winter
while sipping bourbon in a duck blind, but in the carolina summer of
freestones, rhodos, and brambles, they were hot as hell and leaky.
stream seep mixed with sweat created a funky odor in them that not even
a diet of cabbage and sausage could yield.

Jo, the heart-breaker of
southern gentlemen, has finally acquiesced to my wishes and will
retire from her Executive Director position with Verizon's Wireless
Division. Finally, a fishing parter I can cuddle up with, who doesn't
smell horrible, smoke cigars, or get drunk.

Best wishes for a long and happy retirement to Joanne.

I'm told fishing with your wife isn't a bit like teaching her to drive
:-)

Have some great times.
