Gentlemen. This is in reguards to that fishing trip that we/you are going to go on this month. Well I did it again. I took a tumble and this time I broke a rib,not cracked. Broke,can't cast very well and cannot carry any thing either. Third time this spring and summer that I've did this. I must be a klutz. Can't walk to far either. So I will have to bow out. Maybe next year. And I was really looking for this to happen this year.. Well I'm going to go and take some more drugs and lay down again.

Sorry to hear that. Get better soon!!

Well, sounds like the fish are safe for a little while anyways. Well, I guess they were safe anyway But at least now you have a good excuse...

Old Man:

Have you been using bait? Could be the force is punishing you.

Too bad you won't be able to make a fall (no pun intended) trip. We are already working on a spring trip and we'll keep you posted.

Hope you don't get a sneezing fit!

What's bait . The only bait I've been around is called money. It's that stuff you use to by things with. :p

Hey ole man: I pulled a rib ligament swatting at yellowjackets
bout a month ago. Still hasen't healed completely. I cast left handed for a
while. I used to be a superman forest ranger....now
I'm a fragile ole man who injures himself swatting at bugs.
Damn this growing old business is fun!!!!
Heal up soon....the steelhead is coming your way!

So when do we want to meet? And where? F.F do you still have my e-mail address? I'll e-mail you when I get home today,I'm at work now.

When is your trip on. I'm healing faster than I thought. It seems that when you fall and just crack some it takes longer to heal than if you break one. When I fell down in April, it took about 6 weeks to feel better. Now that I broke one it doesn't seem to bother me as much. Only have problems sleeping on my left side.

As for casting,no I can't cast left handed. I tried once just to see if I could but I can't. But like I said I'm beginning to feel better.
