Long Mike

Round trip drive from Tulsa, room rental, slip rental, meals, gas for the boat, $500. Being able to attend a BR Road trip - PRICELESS!

I don't know if cell phones will work while we are on the lake, but provided that you have supplied me with your contact number, all of the attendees will be PMd with a list of of other attendees and their contact numbers before we leave for the lake. That said, I refuse to be responsible for any obscene calls you may receive from Burley. Come to think of it, I find it odd that Burley has not provided me with HIS contact number. Very strange. :-/

Today's "What Have You Been Smoking Math." If a logger cuts down a tree and harvests the bud, what is the black-market price per ounce?

Merle Haggard - Greatest Hits Johnny Cash - Greatest Hits Loretta Lynn - Greatest Hits Tammy Wynette - Greatest Hits :P :P

BUY IT! TODAY! That boat is almost brand-new. A new PT175 will set you back over $14,000.

Are you picking up the girls on the way in or do we have to go get 'em? I don't know yet. I'll be stopping at every Hooters along the way; looking for fisherettes. However, you are much prettier than I am, so I may have to drag you (and your wallet) back up the road to do a little coaxing. After all, that's what friends are for.

RW, which sides of the lake have shoreline? I don't want to fish a lake that doesn't have shoreline all the way around it. I would be afraid to fall off the face of the earth.

Wayne, I'll be driving in late Saturday afternoon.

Like RW said, almost every boater carries at least one extra PFD. No boater, by law, will allow you a seat on his/her boat unless one is available. If you are in my boat and I'm running the big motor, I will insist that you wear it. The great majority of other boaters will do the same.

Funny, I never considered Michael Jackson much of an athlete. You must watch different sports than I do. ;D ;D ;D

Lauren, you are right up there with Ernest Hemingway, except you can't spell, punctuate or put together a coherent sentence.

Er, you don't live anywhere near Muddy, do you?

Yes it is, but I think you will have to spend a few extra bucks and tie the 522 and the external antenna together via a NMEA 2000 network. I could be wrong, but, like you, I'm too lazy to pull out my 522 Owner's Manual and read it. ;D

Grouchy? Hell yes I'm grouchy! Ya want a piece of me?

Ah, the beauty of the English language. One simple statement is interpreted in several different ways. Only the author knew what was meant.

Every once in a while one of your kids can do something that simply brings you to you knees. The love and pride that you feel is almost overwhelming. Been there. Done that. Cried like a baby.

I have no stress. I'm married to a CPA. However, I do have to admit that she's popping a lot of Valium this time of year. ;D

I stand corrected Mighty Guru. As usual you are correct. I am humbled by your insight - PERVERT!

Muddy, you've often said that you don't watch football. It took me years to finally understand that the most unpredictable and most enjoyable sport to watch is College football.

That's just about the most asinine statement I've ever seen on this board. Would you care to explain?

I'm very sorry, but very few members here are cryptanalysts. It would be very helpful if you would decode your comments into plain English.

Burley, that script was much too long for an old man like me to sit and read. I think I'll wait until the movie comes out.

With the exception of Ghoti , I very much appreciated the responses from those of you in the know. Today I learned something. I love doing that.

I watched about 15 seconds of it. Babblebabblebabbledeaaaaaah. Over and over again.

Whatever you do, do NOT pizz that man off. He'll be attending your funeral before you realize you are dead! ;D
