Not yet, Ed...But I sent him a PM!

I am not sure that Joe has computer access any more...I have sent him PMs & email but no response as of yet.

I have access to good oak for our firewood needs.  It's cut to length, we just might want to split some of it.  

Scott I  love to make the PA meet. But right now all meets for 2010 are on hold. I don't know if I can make the NE meet until I know when my daughter comes home from college. The fingerlakes meet might be when we head to yellowstone so I might not make that one. If I can't make that maybe the PA meet might fit into the schedule. Its to soon to tell.

Frank, next year I'm working the Finger Lakes Meet into my plans so I expect to see you next year at the PA meet. From what Pete told me last I talked with him he was working it out with Dave? Dave if you need anything, you got my # and e-mail. Pete, will we have room to bring firewood with? I was pretty disappointed with the kindeling they were trying to sell out there last year.

Welp. two days ago I put together a list of what Dave would need to bring along to the meet; I put it in an email and then I called him.  He told me he was working on his deck and the joist that he was standing on collapsed, causing a bad sprained ankle and a hair-line fracture to his heel.  His recovery time will be about 6 weeks!  So at this point it looks like Dave will not be attending...Prayers coming at ya, Dave!

Thanks for the thoughts guyz  Swelling has gone down 85%....and I can put a little pressure on it....but it aches when I don't have it up

I'll give it until the 15th (23 days)...if it's healed pretty well at that point, I'd be back in the game....and then the worst part would be trying to get a plane ticket...as I don't have a credit card.

I AM secretly putting together some striper info at the moment though 

Good Lord willin'

well another year will go by and i won't be able to make the meet !!!  my wife and i will be going to new mexico at that time !

maybe next year

Still hopin' I can make it

Check these out

The idea of me coming to this Meet has turned into a pipe dream

Not only do I have a rear brake line on the car that is leaking....but we've discovered massive rust underneath the car around the rear axle area...to the point that it's no longer wise to put anymore money into the vehicle.

So instead of coming to the Meet...I have to start shopping for another car

Disappointed to say the least

That sucks Dave but I hope you find a GOOD replacement soon.

Hey guyz now we can talk about Dave around the campfire like we planned before..................................JK-ing Dave you will be dearly missed by me and many more I'm sure.

LMAO Ed

Yeh....I was really looking forward to meeting you guyz...and I've been wanting to fish in the Northeast US since I was a kid. I even had bought a map of the lake...and was getting a tackle bag together in my head for those stripers there

Since I have so many new parts on this car...I'm going to get another one of the same year and model...and then strip this one and save the parts. That way....I won't be shelling out major $$$ in the near future if something goes wrong.

I ran across this video of striper fishing on Raystown
