Where did you go? I suppose it was a toothy critter :{

***Nope, actually it was probably either a smallmouth or a walleye. I was
fishing the edge of a sunken rockpile.

Now, there's 8 inches of freshly fallen snow, so my year might just be
done.

2 inches here and my battery was dead when I tried to leave for a fish
fry. I got it started though...Not much will keep me from the Friday
nite Walleye fry here in town.

***We ended up with a final total of 12 inches of snow. AND, I managed to
screw up the snowblower. They don't work at all as a chipper shredder, and
after trying to run a small log through the blower, I kind of bent things
up..... But, I did get out for a fish fry at the Al-Gen.

SNIP

My concern is...Do you know anything about fishing the Mighty
Mississippi at Alma?

Head hunter called today to ask if I would be interested in spending a
year or so there.

***I do know that there is some pretty good walleye/sauger fishing in the
Alma area. The bass fishing should be good in the backwater areas, and
there's a lot of good hunting in the area as well. That's Buffalo county,
home of some amazingly large whitetail, IF you can find a place to
hunt...... Take the job Dan,

Get that truck equipped with a plow to keep some launches open
longer :}
I remember my first year in Merrill, the new head of parks, a woman,
closed the ramps a month earlier than the previous person did. Was
she surprised how many fisherman and trappers showed up at her office
the following day!!

Well, I should know by Tues, Wed if they are going to offer it to me.
I would rather have the TN job but they are sitting on their hands
yet.

Nah, it's the top-posting. Intelligent denizens of Usenet newsgroups
never top-post and most are put off by having to put up with it.
You won't have a vital, active, busy newsgroup so long as you have a
high percentage of top-posting.

You are a prime example of a horse ass. ...

Golly Mr. Bill, or can I call you Calif, I guess I have
no choice but to take that as a compliment. Thank you.

You are welcome.

Ken, there is truly very little I would enjoy as much as spending a day in
that canoe with you. We would have a ball!

I was a welcome poster here until my knowledge of certain areas of
fishing allowed me to go professional, at which time my contributions
became persona non grata to some. That is stupid!

I didn't know you were unwelcome here or a persona non grata. Are
you sure it doesn't have something to do with being a rabid tool
of the radical right ?

This group can again be great, but posters will have to just quit being
gutless wimps, and instead post what they want regardless of who it
might offend. Unfortunately, this group today is as totally useless as
the United Nations!

How about that Nancy Pelosi, Bob !! Just what we need in Washington,
a tough-minded granny wielding a big-assed Democratic whooping stick !
Woohoo !!

You are a prime example of a horse ass. Bottom posting was the thing with
KSR33's. But that time has passed. Same with VT52's and DEC Vax 780, and
it's forerunners. You could not easily move around the screen and since a
KSR was a paper I/O there was not backing up.


Ah, it makes sense to me now. I suppose when the text was loaded it
would scroll immediately to the bottom, probably because the message was
appended to the previous. For the life of me I couldn't see the purpose
of bottom posting, like a previous person had wrote, it is difficult (or
inconvenient) to have to scroll all the way to the bottom through all
the previous messages.
Oh well, at least I can see both sides of the argument now, not that
what I think really matters, but for my own piece of mind I finally
understand :-).

not WWW, was all ascii and there was some nice ascii art done.

I jumped on right as bulletin boards were just about dead. I could
still dial on to some, but they were few and far between. I believe it
was 93 or so. Even from that point it is all very different. I guess
when it comes to this stuff, being an IT Manager myself I just have to
roll with the punches. Good times.

Driving home from work today I saw some guys fishing from the bank near
my house and some more guys loading their boat on the trailer.
What really sucks is when it is almost 80 degrees in November and you
can't go fishing. That's my on topic post for this week.
