Happy Holidays everyone

Things could be better here, just got off the operating table for my second double stent by pass this yr, ugh.

Hopefully all is well now and I'll be skiing again for the first time in 9 yrs!!

This season, expect to see me back around a bit more. Looking to turn fishing back into a love instead of the job it had become. I needed a break and it is working as I am finding myself with a tad touch of the cabin fever and it's been a few yrs since I've felt that passion.

I feel kinda guilty I haven't been around but rest assured, I'll be back and I am thinking of many of you often.

Happy Holidays to all!!

Hey Russ,

Glad to hear from/about you! Glad to hear you are on the mend. There has been quite a wave of us "too young to be this old" guys getting parts repaired or replaced here lately. Looking forward to seeing more of you around here. It's getting time to heal up and go fishing. Take care of yourself sir.

Great to see you back Russ!!

Hey Neighbor!  Been thinking about you and wondering what you were up to.

Sorry to hear about your health issues.  Hope that's all behind you, and you can get back to all your normal (or maybe not so normal) activities.

When you go skiing, for crying out loud, don't break a leg or run into anything larger and harder than a tuft of grass.

no way Rhino, only thing I run into is moguls and big air!!

Can't begin to express how excited I am to see how old I've gotten, ugh, I mean,...to go bumping again,lol

Good to see the LBH name on the board again. Welcome back Russ! 

Good to see you Russ.

Looks hairy enough to me. Heck, anytime I get both feet off the ground simultaneously, it produces an adrenaline rush.

As long as your docs approve, go for it. Looks like a blast.

No half pipe?

1/2 pipe came after my time.

Scotty, u losing weight boy?????

Hey LBH, I was kinda wondering what had happened to you as well.  Glad to hear you got things all fixed up.  Have fun on those bumps, I was a snowboarder for many years, but never braved those things!

Russ, glad you are feeling better. Good to hear you are still around and doing better.

Good to see you back.

Welcome back and hope your health problems are behind you.

You going to make the Roadtrip Runt, er Russ?

Kelley

Wow, long time no see LBH.  Glad things are looking better for you now.  Welcome back!

Kelley!!!

No, unfortunately, I'm only booking 1 fishing trip this year, aside from all the CAST events I'll be at, and that is going to be a smallie spawn trip up to the Champlain area. Maine actually, but I've been wanting to do this trip for 10 yrs but always let other stuff come first. So this yr, we are packing up a ton of food, our women and me and my lifetime friend/fishing partner are going to take the trip we've always wanted. I'll also have other local angler friends up there the same week to share in the good times.

As much as I would love to come show RW how to fish a trick stick and how much I'd love to see the gang, including that local rabbits foot CJ, I'm going to have to pass this yr.

Kentucky Lake again though? No comment,lmao.

You guys will have a blast, I'm sure. Speedbead,....try wings this time maybe? (Smaller, cooks faster )

1/2 pipe came after my time.

Scotty, u losing weight boy?????

1/2 pipes suck, full pipes are where it's at.  That's what I like to see.   cdxx 

;D

Good to see ya around brother.

No wonder why my packages have been delivered on time, you were out sick ;D ;D ;D.

Seriously, I'm glad you're back on your feet and hope/pray all goes well for ya.

Very good to hear from you.  Happy Holidays!

Hello, you nasty hooker!  It's good to hear from you, Russ.  I hope the health problems are resolved.  Your comments and input on this forum are definitely missed.

Happy Holidays Russ, it's really great hearing from you again!

Your presence on the board and your awesome videos are sorely missed.
