Didn't you finally come out of the closet to admit you were a Republican -

"We," the people of the U.S. I won't vote for her. I will vote for
the "least likely to be impeached" just like I did in 96.

Ah! Now THERE'S a lesson in enlightened democracy!

And I was correct.

Actually, what you were......and are......is pathetic.

who is sure he'll never understand why someone who hates a person so much
would vote for him twice.

d;p)


Heck, Dave, of course Dole was "less likely to be impeached". Given his
campaign, one of the worst I have seen(Kerry was close), he didn't have a
snowball's chance in hell of getting a job where impeachment was a
possibility......

ok...time to start planning get togethers in 2008.

Assuming there will be water in the Smoky's there's gonna be another
excellent adventure in Townsend come Springtime.

Speaking of getting old, plans are afoot for me turning the calendar on #50
in Scotland come next August. Native Brown Trout and Native Single Malts,
can't think of anything better at my age that won't result in alimony
payments.

Did the Scotland thing for #70. It was great. Missed the Browns.
Didn't miss the Single Malt. It was great. You should enjoy. Let us
know.

wolfgang...what's the plan for 2008?

Hm......

Michigan grayling?

Alas, despite the tacit suggestion in Michigan's fishing regulations, which
state that any grayling caught anywhere in the state must be released,
unharmed, immediately, it ain't gonna happen. But I've always wanted to
fish the lower peninsula and have not yet done so. I believe we might be
able to enlist the services of a couple of our knowledgeable brethren as
guides if we ask real pretty.

ok... then what?

Well, assuming adequate percolation, Montahoming will suffer my annual
visits from late May to mid-October ... but, another water year like the
last one and I think the number of used fly rods on e-bay will spike to new
highs I wouldn't plan a trip West, past June, until we see how Nature
deals with the drought


-----------------


I keep threatening to sample a couple rivers I've never fished or only
fished in "name collecting" mode .... the Big Horn being the one that pops
to mind most often. But, it's hundreds of miles past places I know I
love, and when ya get there all ya do is catch fish, which I can do without
the extra miles.

My nature seem best satisfied by long periods at one stream, a couple weeks
minimum, to really feel I'm starting to belong there. Two or three night
stands always leave me feeling as much empty as fulfilled. I'm very much
into self instruction when it comes to fly fishing, preferring to discover
on my own to being shown, so it takes me a while on a new river to
feel competent.

Many of the rivers I consider trying don't seem to have camping/ access /
non-fishing time quality, that suits my picky tastes. Spending $40/ day
to park my trailer 9 feet from another RV or $30/ day to have my truck moved
3 miles offends both my budget and my sense of how I want to spend my time.
........... Sure, a day here or there, of either one, is OK, but not 20
days in a row. I like to camp in undeveloped areas and shuttle my
WaterMaster with my bike IF I can't find reasonable wade access.

Research that leads to advance knowledge of such camping, the wade access
on a mainly floating river, or whether the access roads are suited for
bike riding seems harder to do than finding an outfitter/ motel. I'm
gradually building a network of summer troutbums, guys ( and a gal ) that
spend the summers much as I do and have similar needs/ desires, but it's
still tough to find out certain things without making the 500 mile drive
... a drive that I find hard to commit to when I'm leaving a wonderful
place to head towards ???? Probably a gettin' old thing.


um. ... no, this doesn't have anything to do with your thread ... sorry
