lol. Thanks PB. You live east of 95 to so you know what the wind and Hail policy costs too if you have a mortgage. I still have a piece of trim that the blow hard Florence ripped off my Patio outer wall in '18 laying on the patio floor waiting for somebody that feels more comfortable then I do on ladders these days to reattach it for me? Nobody wants to slow down long enough to do that for less the a couple $100 ? ? ?

We'll mend together then, I get my 2nd knee installed March 24th. Just time to mend enough to make the mid-June planed fishin' trip to Wisconsin. G.L. Oz. 1st week -10 days are somewhat of a pita. Piece ah cake after that. .. BTW, You do know that adding tylenol to the heavy duty drugs will prevent your tummy getting messed up and your plumbing from stopping up? Talk to your surgeon about that, Jer

I thought oz was in recovery now and lookin' to get the 2nd one done in June? Did I miss something?

Not at all Ben. Name is Meijer's Super Stores, Domiciled in Wyoming. Mi.(burb of Grand Rapids) Fred Meijer started with one store in Ionia, Mi. back in the '30s. In the mid '70s he developed the Super Store concept and guess what Sam Walton did when he found out about that Super Store concept? LOL BTW, not all but most of the Meijer's chain are Super Stores. Great Products, Great Management, Fair Prices. Wife and I started dealing with Meijer's back in the mid '60s in Ann Arbor, Mi. Lost the convenience of those stores when My Wife and I followed our only kid and her Husband to Wilmington, in '14. For you married guys, When mama says she wants to move close to family, I think that's a fist fight we're gonna loose soooo? Jer

Their's a chain of Grocery stores that cover Wi.+Il.+In.+Mi+and+Oh.That has contracted some Commercial Fishing Company that works on Lake Erie and supplies almost 400 stores in those 5 states with wild caught fresh Walleye EVERY WEEK. Don't know how they do it but they do. I set up a purchase with the closest store to me here in Wilmington, N.C. which is about 35 miles S.E. of Columbus last June and Banzai'd up there and came home with almost 28lbs. processed and frozen fillets. 8 months later I'm down to 'bout 1 1/2lbs left in the freezer, lol. Nothing that comes out of salt water can hold a candle to it, IMHO. Jer

Two things I see Doug(BTW Beautiful Walleye) 1st, Never seen one that long that didn't have a bigger gut(must be from a lot of exercise 2nd, In all my years of crossing the country I've seen that big a body of water any near Rochester mills 'cept Erie? No Biggy, Still a beautiful fish, I'm envious, Jer

Thanks PB, Beautiful Scene. Always preferred a bit of breeze too when we'd go north into Ontario, Ca. for our Memorial Day trip for the Northern's and Pickerel as our northern brothers call the Walleye. The breeze keeps those pesky little black fly's moving. The ones that are the State Bird up in Maine yeah know? The ones the have a mini chain saw where their nose aughta be and you don't know you've been bit 'til you see your blood dripping. Gotta be some of you guys that have come to know those beastly critters? Jer

Flyguy. Did your Doc. give you a $2700 shot every 3 months for 3 years that made you sing Soprano and gave you hot flashes too? Mine did. I can laugh about it now but not then. Stay strong and well Fly, Jer

You bring up very bad memories Flyguy. Hope you're a cancer free az I am today even if we both do glow in the dark. Jer

Go into any public rest room anywhere close to our southern boarder and see the used T.P. stacked up behind the throne. That issue-problem has directly to do with inferior plumbing south of that boarder I was told. Been there seen that. Lived in Austin, Tx. for 5 years in the '90s and never got used to seeing it. Jer

LMAO, Not expecting that. Very Funny, Jer

'Mornin' group. I have to back track just a bit with a question. Any of you nimrods remember Marathon Fishin' Gear up in Wisconsin? 60 Years ago I could walk into about any hardware store and look at cards of 24 pieces of poppers on too many different color poppers and buy individual poppers for .50 -.79, in the Great Lakes area. And yeah time have changed along with the prices as we all know. I guess what I'm getting at is that the norm back then was a floating popper with either a #6 - #8 for Blue Gills and or Bass. And today I'm having trouble finding an #8 with the quality of those old Marathon poppers. Every thing I'm finding is either 10 or #12. And I'm still not seeing the quality in any of those $5.00 bugs that existed 60 years ago. I'm not ranting here. Just trying to get some input from my new friends here because I've been out of the game for multiple reasons for about 10 years and trying to get back in while I'm still breathing. Jer

The 2nd pic of the NON-TYPICAL MULLY is Wild, Egg. Very Cool, Jer

Calling for CHUNKY RAIN here in Wilmington tomorrow too PB. Wonder how it is in Key West?

I made my first trip cross country in '58 from SoCal to Detroit. Not much of 80 was done back then so most of that trip was on ole "Dirty 30" with just a few short bits of 80 at times. Hit a Pheasant some where around North Platte and drove the rest of the way to Detroit with a shattered windshield. Can't count or remember how many times I've crossed this country or that hill? Got mad at a waitress at the truck stop in Rawlins one time. She wanted to charge me for a glass of water and I went balistic. told her to look out the damn window where her boss was watering the flowers in the planter on the fuel island and watch all the water flowing across the whole blooding parking lot and down into the ditch next to I-80. I got my water at no charge and I left without ordering i was so mad. Headed over the hill to the outrider truck stop in Laramie. Better food there too lol. Startin' to jabber so I'll stop for now. your jaring my memory banks Egg, Jer
