Not much time lately, unfortunately. On the good news front, we're now the proud owners of a 16' Fish Rite drift boat in pretty darn good condition. And this was a fully wife approved purchase Watching our boys and our niece climbing all over it this past weekend was a hoot. Priced low enough that it shouldn't depreciate much further. On the bad news front - I've got to go subdue the trailer wiring. Running lights work on one side, a blinker on the other, goodness knows if the brakes work on either side, as I didn't have someone to push the pedal. Had a bit of fun driving the backroads home from Plymouth. Stinkin' boats.... Scott

I want a drift boat like you wouldn't believe! (put it in your carryon next time you come north!) I recommend clamp on lights.

1. macrabbit - Von Shuck (provisional) 2. ... The idea man who sparked my project hopes to fish it in the Truckee soon. I'm not sure it'll be finalized before the Swap deadline, so I'll tie a batch of V1.0 for our group, and if I hear back some modifications I'll tie up V2.0 also. (So you folks get to be my guinea pigs. Nyaa-ha-ha. )

I've tied up a couple dozen of these concoctions, now, and don't have a one that is perfect. I don't know that anyone could tie a flawless example. Why can't I dream up an easy fly? (Except for that damsel egg in the last Swap- that one was a cinch! ) So you folks will not only be guinea pigs� you'll all get "seconds", to boot. (But I think it's gonna be a winner.) (In other words, BTT.)

macrabbit: Perfection means one can put together a dozen and see no discernible differences. If each participant only gets one, flaws will not be an issue.

You slapped my hand last time for posting pictures prematurely. I'll let you snap and show after all the submissions are in.

Those weren't quite the words that I grumbled under my breath, but they'll do.

Well done, castandblast! Are you a Jewish mother in real life? Or just a used car salesman?

Rob P's are on the way, and no one else has said even a "peep." I hardly call that a hand slapping. It was in response to colors of others' flies, hoping they would get their flies in so they would get to see their flies sooner. You, my friend are waaaayyyy toooo sensitive!

Hah! Made ya look! But your quote was followed by Would you like me to delete that pic? And I was thinking of posting the other in a few days. Say me "Nay!"? I'd hold out if I were you! Anyway, don't impose facts on my conversations. They have no place there. I had that wonderful opportunity to appear beat upon and offended, make you feel bad, and now you've gone and ruined it. (Hmm, maybe I can milk this one...)
