Trace Adkins Rapping???? Wont happen at least I hope the he## not LOL !! The artist you have in mind is Jason Aldean, I don't care for it either, he has some really good stuff though. Was that the first time you have heard that song? They have played that song to death over here in Va. ....it still gets me groovin lol !!

Where do you think I am going to get these bad boys wet at LOL !!! You said December right ?

WOW !!!!! Nice job Quan !!!!

Keith Urban, Olivia Newton John, Ann Murray come to mind.

I hope and pray it works out for the very best for all of you, thoughts and prayers to you and your family !!! Still, you have a job to do big guy, get er done, get home safe ALL OF YOU !!! Deal with this crap then, I can tell you this, it is only what you want it to be, this is not a dark place, it's a new place, you have the only option on how to fill that place.

I can't think of a single artist, there are a ton, Patsy Kline, Loretta Lynn, Dollie, Sarah Evans, Tanya Tucker, Tammy, Patty Loveless, the list is big, but if I had to pick one artist she would definatly be Martina McBride, that girl has got a gift !!! Carrie comes really close but my vote would still be Martina.

The toughest thing you will face is seeing her with someone else for the first time, STAY AWAY FROM THE BOOZE !!!!!!!!! After that it's not so bad, look at it this way, this is only going to make you a much stronger adult, and a much better dad, I would find the good in that and be thankful of it, that is something she will never be able to get from you, EVER !!! Every relationship has it's issues, i'm sure there was a reason you thought you needed a 30 pack before you got into the hard liquor, but that can no longer be a part of your life if you want this to work out for the best for your children, clear your mind and focus. You have a job to do first, protect your brothers and sisters, they are your prioity right now, worry about the crap when you get done and get home.

The silver lining is your son, nothing else matters, period !! end of discussion !!!! Take what has been given to you by grace and be focused on that and let nothing stand between you and him, and I mean nothing !!! Anyone can be a father my friend but it takes someone special to be a dad, so be a dad to that little boy and have a lot of fun with it, he will never forget that as long as he lives no matter the outcome of the outside world. It makes no difference how much crap you can buy or the freedom you have found with out having to answer to someone else, you have one priority now and you need to protect that at all costs. Don't second guess what she will do, you do it first. It's only a dark place if you allow it to be a dark place, get up and get after it !!!

To much fairy tale in her songs for me, then the new song she has out drives me nutt's, if she wants to sing pop songs then be a pop singer. Merle Haggard, Johnny Paycheck, Waylon Jennings, Goerge Jones, Johnny Cash, Conway Twitty, Willie Nelson, Allan Jackson, Hank Williams Jr and Sr. just to name a few, newer artist's come to mind as well, but regardless, Country needs to stay country.

An average LMB is in the 2-4lb range, of course with opportunities in the 5lb range and up, the lake is known for it's excellent shoreline cover and structure by means of lay downs, boat docks and various brush and rock piles, the state park also has a fishing pier. the highest density of bass can be found around several areas, 2 worth mentioning are the Hales Ford bridge area in the Roanoake River arm and bouy B-26 in the blackwater arm. This lake is a host to the ESPN's Bass Master Elite Series Tournament Trail, ever wonder if you have what it takes to compete with the pro's, well here is your chance to fish the same lake they do, come get ya some !!! Claytor Lake The State park here offers the same as other state parks, with RV camping, tent and cabins, their rates are as follows. All fees are the same as Smith Mountain Lake posted above. The State park and it's surrounding area are absolutely beautiful, well maintained rest rooms and well groomed grounds around the state park.

Most bass are located in the arm of Claytor Lake, but I can promise you this there are big bass in the coves here, they have huge,HUGE, amounts of cover scattered everywhere with access to deep water right along with that cover, if you want a shot at a big smallie, try your luck along some of the big steep rocky shorelines Claytor has to offer. What really makes Claytor stand out is her people, Even in the middle of summer Claytor is not all that pressured with heavy boat traffic, I have found that people here know how to drive a boat, and also the people here are very quick to help you out with anything and will talk to you about anything.

Ha Ha !!! we are just a little too old my friend lol !!! I just ask my daughters, they are my go to source lol !!

WOW !!! CONGRATS !!!

YOUR A FREAKING NUT CASE !!!! LOL !!!

top 5 are, Potomac Chick River Claytor Lake Occoquan Reservoir @ Fountainhead Smith Mountain Lake Out of these 5 we will post all available info possible to inform you of expences etc... by January 1st we will have a location picked out so that we can be prepaired for the trip. All information about each, we hope to have postd by the end of the first week of November, Good luck and we hope to see you soon !!!

OK, there was a conversation between Zoff and I last night and there was a question raised about a deadline. Finances were a big part of that discussion, so knowing this and knowing how much money each of us will need to save for what ever location is chosen by you guys is a huge factor. What we are going to do is put the cut off at the first of January, this gives us plenty of time to schedule vacation days, save some bucks etc... we will go ahead and gather all of the availible info and post it for you guys and gals with prices on overnight stays at local campgrounds and hotels etc... we will have all of the best fishing reports that we can added to each area for the top five so that we can make the best decision possible. We will try to have this information all wraped up and posted by the end of the first week of November it should give us plenty of time to have a place picked out and prepair for the trip. We look forward to seeing where this ends up for this coming year and we can't wait to do it all again.

The morning after, still keeping everyone in thoughts and prayers, the mountains here in my area have pretty much kept everyone out of harms way. J, I hope you can get to your uncles house and make sure all is good there, be really careful though, being in wooded areas, the winds are still breaking off trees and big parts of trees. My daughter and her boyfriend got really lucky while driving to his parent's house last night when a big tree branch fell on the car and almost penetrated the windshield, things could have been really ugly, but I am so thankful for it not being, you can't do your uncle any good if you get hurt as well, take every precaution you can.

Prayer sent, and thoughts and prayers go out to their families, thanks for letting us know.

LMAO !!!!!! I guess that's what happens when you start thinking of "furry kittens" LOL !!!

Northwest section of Va. here, getting heavy rain at times and wind gusts so far of 34 mph, the really heavy rain and winds has not made it here just yet but has made it onto radar and is looking like it will make it here in the next hour or so, we are expected to get some snow on top of this with the cold front coming in my area, especially in the mountains, they are looking at upwards of 20 inches in the higher elevations, creeks here are already starting to top their banks, I know the folks around Va. beach and such are getting hit really hard especially around Norfolk area, I have heard from a couple of people I know in that area and they say some of the low lying areas and busisnesses are already under water. Thoughts and prayers to all of you folks and everyone else in her path.

Ha !!! you might need it with all the rain we are getting today !!

Where's the pics?

Just got done putting the house back together from the storms this past summer, guess we will wait and see, hopefully she turns out to sea and leaves us alone.

Best investment, will also be my wife, she has provided two beautiful baby girls for me one 23 years ago and one 18 years ago luv you girls !!! Worst investment, I really have not been able to invest in anything, they pretty much make sure I stay broke LOL !!!

Some of us have been forced to grow up early on in life, case-in-point, this little girl, that decision was an adult decision, or at least one that should have been made by an adult, a tough decision to have been made but one that was necessary, I too think her parents had done the right thing and I support her decision to use a firearm to protect herself. Some of us have had it rougher than others, loosing our parents early in life and having to support others at a very young age, some of us have had a great childhood, but none of us who like to have fun ever forget that feeling of joy that we get when we make others smile or laugh. Making an adult decision has nothing to do with age, but it seems that making a childish decision does. Personally, I do not think we ever fully mentally "grow up", just physically, we live the best we can and we continue living through our children and grandchildren, it's fun and invigorating, so why should we?, even though our bodies can no longer keep up as once before, we still try to have as much fun connecting though them as we did when we were younger. To me being an adult is when you start to teach others of life and the responsibilities they have for knowing the difference between right and wrong. I will never stop being a child inside, I still like having wwwwaaayyyyyyy too much fun !!!!!!

You know I am just havin some fun with ya right? besides I would have let you have the bait back anyway LOL !!! I am hoping for the first one but I shall give you a call this weekend or after this weekend is over and work the details out with ya. Talk to you soon buddy and thanx !!! Good luck and be safe !!!
