You didn't take advantage of that warm snap Jimzee? The one last week, remember? (Try not to think of the 3 inches of snow outside)

It was like that Monday - now there's THIS on the ground out front. At least the dog's enjoying it!

Sure is, hard to believe that was 2006, two years ago! I know there are some bad boys in there, I'll latch onto them.

Very FUNNY Hookem :-X

I'm sitting on my computer looking at the 2 inches of snow outside wondering where the 70 degree weather from last week went! Oh well. I managed to go down to Lake Washington backwaters near my house to do some bass fishing. I haven't been able to catch any pigs yet, but I did catch about 5-6 bass under a pound. I managed to hook what I felt was a large bass, but it got off on me. I tried jigs and small spinners and got a few hits, then fished one of the 50 white 3 inch senkos I ordered from Ebay and caught several. Thanks!

Man, now THOSE are some pictures Russ! Awesome scenery.

A big congratulations man! You're doing yourself a huge favor. I'm a teenager in high school so I get pounded with what smoking does to you, and some of the facts are disturbing. But the good news is after you quit: At 20 minutes after quitting: blood pressure decreases pulse rate drops body temperature of hands and feet increases. At 8 hours: carbon monoxide level in blood drops to normal oxygen level in blood increases to normal At 24 hours: chance of a heart attack decreases At 48 hours: nerve endings begin regrowth ability to smell and taste improves Between 2 weeks and 3 months: circulation improves walking becomes easier lung function increases The benefits are huge! Keep it up!

Thanks so much guys, I appreciate it so much.

Hey guys, As you remember, my Grandpa passed away last winter, and just as we are getting over that, something else has happened. My grandma, on the other side of the family, has developed what we believe is Alzheimers. We went to visit her today, and let me tell you, it was bad. She had to be taken over to the hospital today and is going to be there for the next 3 days at least. Please keep me and my family in your prayers during this difficult time. Thanks, Aaron "Troutfisher"

My trout recipe. For all you who like to eat fish, here's a recipe for you, taught to me by the bass player in my bluegrass band. "Troutfisher's Easy To Make, Easy To Use Trout Recipe" Ingredients: Number of trout desired to fix Fish batter Cooking Oil Large pan Pair of tongs for removing and turning fish Step 1: Get however many trout fillets you wish to fix. When cleaning fish, clear out inside of fish and remove head, tail, and fins, leaving only skin, bones, and meat. Step 2: Thoroughly rinse fish in cold water. Step 3: Roll fish in fish batter mix, inside of the fish and out. Step 4: Heat oil in pan to medium/high heat. After oil is warm, put 2-3 fish fillets in the skillet (depending on however many fish can fit in the pan) Step 5: After fish have cooked and are crispy, remove from frying pan and let oil drain from them. Here's the trick! Step 7: Before eating the fish, grab the backbone of the fish and peel it out. This will take out most of the bones, without the mess of having to do it beforehand. Be sure the fish has cooled before you try this. Step 8: Enjoy!

Skinny twigs don't eat!

Who wears clothes? Seriously, boxers.

I figured as much Muddy!

This is for all the germ conscious folks that worry about using cold water to clean. John went to visit his 90 year old grandfather in a very secluded, rural area of West Virginia . After spending a great evening chatting the night away, John's grandfather prepared breakfast of bacon, eggs and toast. However, John noticed a film like substance on his plate, and questioned his grandfather asking, 'Are these plates clean?' His grandfather replied, 'They're as clean as cold water can get em. Just you go ahead and finish your meal, Sonny!' For lunch the old man made hamburgers. Again, John was concerned about the plates as his appeared to have tiny specks around the edge that looked like dried egg and asked, 'Are you sure these plates are clean?' Without looking up the old man said, 'I told you before, Sonny, those dishes are as clean as cold water can get them. Now don't you fret, I don't want to hear another word about it!' Later that afternoon, John was on his way to a nearby town and as he was leaving, his grandfather's dog started to growl, and wouldn't let him pass. John yelled and said, 'Grandfather, your dog won't let me get to my car'. Without diverting his attention from the football game he was watching on TV, the old man shouted . 'COLDWATER, GO LAY DOWN NOW, YAH HERE ME!!!

;D I had to beat Muddy to it.

Now you're the rotten tomato... j/k
