The white Kit Kats, man I will frenzy feed on them!

Tin, fwiw, my new greenhouse manager's name is Tommy Chong; I dunno, he says he has experience. ;D

Speed, there is about 5 acres that sit idle. Maybe when I can I'll build me a mini-paradise like Fluke fishes. ;D BTW, my family has about 4 miles of pretty sweet river bottom up here, good huntin' isn't an issue. 8-)

Many thanks to everyone. I don't know if you can tell, but I'm really keyed up on this one. I"m gonna try and make it down there for a couple of days if possible, just don't see it happening. Burley: I'll deliver in person if I can. Robert: scary hasn't been the word, it's been a shaky path for the last couple of months. FishingRhino: The power has been taken out 4 times since the beginning of winter, 3 times the temps were sub-zero and the cause was the same hi-line pole getting hit and snapped off. It's the end of the line so I am gonna work on the utility company and see if they will bury it back to the previous pole.

You have no idea. They call it the land of 10,000 lakes for a reason. Your gonna finds tons of great fishing just a short jog into Wisconsin also, not to mention that the Mississippi lies between the two.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. And K_Mac, if it wouldn't have been for Kelley telling me I could I probably wouldn't have. ;D Gregg, you don't know how true to life that statement is! Last year before I started there the local PD got a tip that they were doing just that. There was a search warrant with dogs and the whole smack! No evidence found.

Hey Glenn, how was Well's to interview? She seemed either apprehensive or disgusted and was making you work for it.

Hey Deb! Ha, now I'll know who's on and who isn't.

The only insurance I carry is when I have notes or loans at the bank. I've seen DI keep people from sinking tough, definitely a good idea.

Tin, that kind of shopping is like eating peanuts, you don't quit til the jar is empty. ;D

Hate to here yourself on video huh? Just dub in some decent music! Glad you all had fun, there was a bunch of us that wish we could have been there. Hurry up and get that thing posted.

As of about an 1 1/2 ago I am now the co-owner of a 60,000 sq ft. greenhouse with 10 trucks running wholesale routes in 7 mid-west states. Woohoo!!! It has been a hell of a ride the last few weeks and I would like to thank Kelley (Triton21) for all his support; he's been there for me on an almost daily basis being my go to guy when the chips were down. Right now I am sitting here trying to figure out how to act. This is why I will not make the road trip this year. It was either be broke and out of a job or find the money to buy the business and get busy. Thanks for letting me spout and thanks again Kelley for being such a good friend!

Cool! 8-) Were you able to go one on one with any one for any amount of time? BTW, Glen sounds taller on the forum, don't he? ;D

;D ;D ;D You guys remember what George Carlin said, "what the heck, if I could reach I would never leave the house!" ;D ;D ;D

I better elaborate, this is a story that I cut and pasted. This was not me; I can bullshmit with the best, but I wouldn't have thought of this one! ;D ;D

So much for Weight Watchers.... Yesterday I was buying 2 large bags of Purina dog chow at Walmart, for my dogs. I was about to check out when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog. What did she think, that I had an elephant? Since I had little else to do, on impulse, I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, and that I was starting the Purina Diet again, although I probably shouldn't because I ended up in the hospital last time. On the bright side though, I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of every hole in my body and IVs in both arms. I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry and that the food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was enthralled with my story by now.) Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food had poisoned me. I told her no; I had stopped in the middle of the parking lot to lick my arse and a car hit me. ;D

Krispy Kreme was the bomb until there stock split a few years back. Never tasted as good after that. ;D

Don't you east coast boys have a real booze like George Dickel? Once you get passed the name it's a pretty good sour mash; just stay away from the #12. 8-) Rocket fuel!

As a young gun he came out of the gate as fast and faster than most. What's the old adage, " He who pees the fastest don't pee the longest." he was also following on his dad's shirt tail which gave him extra bling. Now that dad has been gone a few years and Jr. is making his own way, he's just another car in the mix.

Welcome to the forums! Years ago I fished Potato lakes more often than not; musky was the fish of choice in them days. Stratford weighing in here.

It was explained to me that the little bit of extra depth with a 5 ewg will give the toad and the shad more room to get out of the way, so to speak, on the hook set.

You'd better go check the tally books from the Classic, you'll find several "pros" that were in the same boat as you. 8-)

I got a kick out of Swindle, I didn't realize that gettin ' out fished was known as a case of VD. ;D

He was certainly hurting. Hope he keeps it together. I think it was after KVD pulled either the 1st or 2nd fish from the livewell the camera flashed back to Kriet, man the look on his face. I could almost feel his pain.

Did you try slowing things up some? Maybe try some deadsticking?
