Neal I'm thinking of having the same thing done though there isn't any risk these days!

ROFL! I've gotta check that thread out stam.
Actually it was no big deal. I went to Dr. Snip. No needles, no scalpel, no stitches. Just nuts that ache, and a good excuse to sit in the lazy boy for a couple days doing nothing. Honestly the worst part about the whole thing was my anxiety. My heart was going like a friggin rabbit.

No worries on the "little package" Aunty. I can bring some goose feed, too. Nothing worse than a pissed off grumpy old goose!

Yeah, gettin' the 'nads snipped was no big deal for me. I went to "The MAN" at Swedish and it was a piece of cake. A shot to numb each 'nad and that was it. The rest is/was what Neal is going through. Just some sore aching 'nads for a few days.

Just wear those tighty-whities for the week (gotta keep them 'nads from swinging around) and you'll be A-OK.

The only funny story I have about that operation was the post-week "shoot to see what you got". My buddy told me that when the time came (pun intended) that it was going to be 90% PLEASURE and 10% PAIN!!

So, when the time "came", I was geared up for that 10% PAIN....which of course, never happened because my buddy was full of SHIAT!

Anyways, after the deed was done and I was "relieved" that there was no pain at all, I started laughing....which the wife didn't appreciate too much. Called up my buddy right there and then and told him he was an arsehole - more so than me!

Nice. I'll have to hit Keith up for my referral fee.

He'll limit the boat by noon.

Personally, I'd use a different cure than UEC for springers. At least for this time of year. No worries, as I'm sure Keith will have some "good bait" during your trip.

For sure, no one cure does it all... The UEC has been catching fish but some of our other cures seem to be bringing the meat to the table a little quicker... Got to have variety when fishing salmon, just the slightest alteration in chems or scent will make all the difference in the world. That's why I bring a big cooler full of bait....

Do you still hate me Steve? Come on and show us your groceries.

Parker,

I'm still wiping the drool and oil from last night's BBQ off of my chin. And the charcoal is heating up for tonight's dinner. I just hate to freeze prime salmon.

You want to see a picture of my dinner plate? Pretty simple, some token vegetables and a slab of salmon cooked to perfection, washed down with a bottle of chardonay.

Or do you mean the whole fish as in grip n grin? Don't have it on my camera; it's on my buddy's. Maybe he'll email it to me. It's hard to smile through the grimace caused by the ruptured disc/pinched nerve I'm living and trying to fish with lately.

Sincerely,

Salmo g.
