I have never forgotten to take a rod, I have on more than one instance,
forgotten the reel

Can't admit to that, though since my profession is all about classification
and organization, I'll admit to being more relaxed when it comes to home and
camp. But I *do* own a fair share of Rubbermaid tubs which can conveniently
be tucked into the car before a trip. They just don't have labels on the
ends with SH687... or GV199.6... on 'em.

Yet.

Shucks Bill, you knew to what I was refering, therefore it was "close
enuff"

Where I hail from, proper English is a foreign language.

Now if you can help me find a better argument for the Michigan
(mis)Managed Medicaid Program as to why they are required to pay for
the emergency treatment and stabilization of patients who present to
the ER and are required to be treated under EMTALA, regardless if they
notified their PCP first then we might be getting somewhere.

You got enough there for a weekend in Vegas

Wayne and others I appreciate your input. This list is for a weekend trip
to a stream 100+ miles from my home. I also should mention that my intent
is to have a warm shore lunch (cup of noodles, with hot tea that kind of
thing) instead of packing a sandwich. This also assumes I fall in the
stream and soak all my clothing so I always pack (if I remember) a complete
change of clothes and shoes. Yes, I have indeed fell in several times and
been plenty miserable cuz I had nothing to change into. Also I took the
breathable waders with insulated underwear advice and purchased new wading
shoes from Ezflyfish to accomodate the new waders.

Extra Jeans 1


Jeans? Jeans in wet cold? Nein. Nyet. No. Don't. Nylon pants
from Dickie's (cheapest, pay more if you want a yuppie label) or poly
fleece. While it is not invariably true that 'cotton kills', it is
true that wet cotton is only good in hot weather when you _want_ to
chill down a bit. No cotton. No jeans. Forget about the existence
of cotton once the temps are below 70F. Wool is okay, but gets heavy
when wet. Poly fleece rules. Duofold and UnderArmor are good for
next to the skin.

Denim jeans have all the other problems of cotton in addition to being
thick enough that they're very heavy after absorbing moisture.
