And to think that I was going to play hooky from work today and try to toss a bobber...

It is blowing so hard here right now that I can't even get my dogs to go outside for their morning jaunt in the yard! :shocked:

I guess I will put my eggs back in the freezer... :depressed:

Norm,

Go take care of that "fever" you have. The doctor would recommend good fresh air for those lungs.

Fishing fever, that is. We all have it bad. The only way to cure it is to limit out. Your'e cured until next time.
