Ding!!!! light just went on Don. I suppose it is appropriate that a swillhole of a rivr is right in the midst of a swillhole of a city. I still remember having to pull off the highway to fill up and making a wrong turn. within two blocks it looked like Dresdin after the firebombings. Got escorted out by a really cool cop. Thank God he saw me and was good enough to get me out of that hell hole!!! Never have seen anything like that again.

Nice... good eating?

I need to get into some fishing...

I had to go home real quick, somehow or another, a beer found it's way into my truck, and I noticed it when I got back to work. Couldn't let the poor thing get hot...

Ya know, I've been drinking some coors lately, it's a pretty good beer... Not gonna switch, tho. Keg just ran dry. The new one will be here on Friday

Yeah Mark, they are excellent eating. Don't feel bad though. I work every other weekend and I have at least 24 hours of overtime scheduled on my next weekend off. Anytime you feel like a road trip, you're welcome to come up and fish.

Matt, you're only a couple hours south of Grand Rapids aren't ya? I have to talk to Heidi and see what she has planned for this week yet, but this fishing hole is about 10 minutes north of G.R. If you don't mind another 1 1/2 hour drive. I know some spots we can find some better elbow room on. You's just need to pick up a non-res. daily license, or an annual if you get hooked...

Well, you do a lot of moving around, so the offer's there.

On that note, there is plenty of room for a tent or camper if somebody wanted to make a little vacation stop. I'm on vacation the first 3 weeks of July this year if we want to make another attempt at a meet and greet up here?

I'm about 2 1/2- 3 hrs from G.R. I'd like to come up an fish, gotta see what the rest of this week has in store for me before I make a commitment to go fish for a day. If I have an open day then I think I might come up that way.
