You poked a neuron for me. I now remember.

Ouch--that must hurt as much as my forehead. Wish I knew how to attach a pic to this. I have a perfect half moon across my dome

Don't remember where Dickens is. Might not have ever known about it. Sure glad I'm out of California and away from the politics there. Florida and its governor Desantis ( who will one day be President ) have treated me nicely in the 5 years I'm here. I think perhaps that why there is at the moment such an influx of people to this state. Having no state tax is a plus too.

Females are like that. OMG what did I say ?

eh Plum. Try an over the counter sleep aid called Calm. No hangover or groggy. I take 2-3 depending on how awake I am when its time for bed. You can get them at Puritan.com Sleep well.

Heard that Plum. I have been waiting for my ship to come in to buy a bigger boat. So far haven't even heard the horn.

You forgot to take your bedtime pill so you can have a full day on the water without napping and missing a strike.

So thats what I caught in Ariscahos lake in Maine years ago. Late September fly stretch only was where the fish were. Not sure if its still there but there was a fishing resort there in the middle of the Brown company timber land. Look out the dining room window to see the hills of Canada and New Hampshire. Great fishing ! When you got hooked up you auto-knew it was a salmon or 5# rainbow. In 1967 it cost me $ 72 total for 4 days there. Included your own cabin with wood already chopped for a fire, 3 meals a day ( packed lunch if you told them the evening before), a rowboat, motor and all the fuel you needed. That even included sinking fly line and a few flies. Those days are gone forever. Drove up there in my brand new maxed out T-bird that cost $4700

I fixed an old Mercury too many times. I ran out of GREASE

Chartreuse is my favorite color for salmon. Closely followed by pearlescent. I believe Kokanee and silvers are the same specie but I could be wrong. I commercially trolled kings and silvers out of Half Moon Bay years ago. 1982 was a banner year for kings. Even the old timers couldn't remember any day as good as opening day was. Some boats made $20K that day. I was a buyer then and unloaded, weighed out and iced down packing of 7200 pounds that saturday and sunday morning. Won't forget that experience.

eh John,
I used to live on Dixon St. Used to rent a boat and troll Lake Chabot after I moved to Castro Valley

eh D
DD doesn't understand some of us get reamed several times at once.

Danger--Have you checked your fuel lines for air leaks ? If vibration loosed a hoseclamp you could have gotten an air lock in the fuel line.

Try using a quick release planer with a flasher. Use a hoochie or whatever else you want to use on a 24 inch leader behind the flasher

Yup recessive genes can do weird things. Saw a human with two different colored eyes--not long ago.
