ooh, someone's spending his retirement years listening to Glenn Beck(the
only moron I know of with this definition).

No, someone's spending his retirement years fishing, exploring the
mountains, and enjoying life without very much TV. But, there is
Netflix. And Hulu on the computer. Didn't know you watched those
right wing terrorist tv shows.

I don't(nor do I watch much from Netflix or Hulu, as I'm more of a music
kind of guy). Still, it seems like whenver anyone pops up in my net
discussions equating the word Progressive(a movement started by Teddy
Roosevelt) with communism or naziism, it always seems to come back to Beck
and his goofy rantings. Enjoy the fishing and mountains!

Hmmmmm. I don't know about the Beck thingy, but Fortenberry has called
himself a progressive for as long as I can remember, and his ideas are
very socialistic/communistic. I use progressive in that sense -
Fortenberry is a progressive, not a liberal.

Listen to music? Have you tried Pandora.com? I have several artists
set up on it and it is always on. Brubeck/Mulligan/Davis/Gilberto,
etc. There's another one that Jo uses, but can remember off hand what
it is. She's taking a friend to the doc today. I'm stuck at home
doing chores, watching the birds and deer, and trying to control Jenny
from disturbing them.

Dave

Glad to see you back Dad. Hmm, broke the ankle? Who were you
kicking?

might have ****ed off in the past and might do so again in the future.
Lessee, went all the way to California to visit my Navy son, and on the
last day there fell and broke my ankle. This afforded a nearly $2000
visit to the local emergency room (this small Coast Guard base only has a
clinic, no MD) The best part was instead of returning on AMTRAK as
ticketed, I got to fly home on SWA with curb to curb wheel chair service,
board first even before the little kids, heck, even TSA was a pleasant
experience. Going to WallyWorld shopping has been fun too, riding in the
electric cart it's amazing how many ladies offer to help retrieve
something from the shelf, sporting a "cripple" sticker in the windshield
gets me hassle free parking too. I'm seriously considering breaking the
other ankle just so I can drag this fun out a little longer. And, oh
yeah, turned 77 last month so you whippersnappers show a little respect.
Sore ankle and all, I put new tires on the boat trailer, repaired a leaky
pontoon on the WaterSkeeter and took the Merc in for a tune-up. The ice
is out here so it won't be long before I begin pestering the local
bluegills and bass. Planning a trip to Maine this summer to float the
Androscoggin with my fishin' bud up there, gonna rip some smallmouth
lips. OK, consider yourselves caught up whether you wanted it or not.

OMG! They're gotten to Dave! Brubeck is an icon of progressive jazz.

Great to see ya back and very glad to know you are still with us both
physically and mentally!
I agree to be a kinder and gentler ROFFian too, so long as we avoid
the political nonsense and socially sensitive discussions--cannot
promise to remain civil if such post go off the deep end, though I
will do my bestest.

Saw Jennifer the other week, she asked about ya. She completed her
masters program a couple of years back and is working at AppState as
an instructor--not a professor, yet. I also hope to complete my
program in May and go into economic development or become an assistant
town manager or something or other.

Fished the wild trout waters of Upper Creek and the delayed harvest
section of Wilson Creek on Friday. Not much luck on Upper Creek, but
Wilson Creek was a blast with nothing less than 14 inch bows and
brookies. I started out with a dry fly, but quickly converted to
nymphing, after watching my fishin' buddy haul in fish after fish on
his dropper rig. I gotta new fishin' hound, Bear, and he is absolutely
a nut case and the best fishin' hound on the face of the Earth. He
don't much care for the water, but has an affliction that requires him
to be by my side at all times, so he wades in regardless of the temps!
He is actually my 76 year old mother's protector, but I try to keep
him in good physical shape by taking him with me whenever
possible--fishin' and campin'.

I posted a few pics of Bear and me on Upper and Wilson Creeks, plus a
few fly pics.

take care and very happy to see ya back,

Op

Thanks Op, Glad you caught up with the Snake..checked out your fishin'
buddy, good lookin' doggy ya got there.

You old rascal. Where the hell have you been? Really missed you,
Frank.

A bit of advice: Never, ever, apologize to the nitwits that haunt
this place. We are all crazy, and crazy folks don't apologized to one
another.

Joanne and I have bought a winter home in the mountains of north
Georgia. I couldn't take another winter of two foot snow storms
followed by another one footer, etc. Grandson #2 is house sitting in
Massachusetts (which now has a Republican Senator!), shoveling snow
and running his father's super market. A plus: fishing in the
winter, and I'm not talking ice fishin'. d;o)

I am sure the smallies on the Andy will shudder when you arrive.
Joanne and I will be in the Rangely lakes region from late May until
sometime in July. If you have a day or two, please come visit and
I'll show you some big brookies and enormous landlocked salmon.

You hang in there, Frank. And you did nothing wrong to leave for such
a long period of time. Welcome back, you old fart.

Dave

....well I have to admit it was good to get away for awhile Dave, it was
getting to be a drag. I'd love to fish with you up there so keep in
touch when ya get situated. Georgia huh? Next thing we know you'll be
playing the banjo. ;-) (Republican tunes of course)
