.How you feeling? Hope your knee is healing well.

Thanks, have them on order. I have five 1936 USGS maps showing the area with the proposed lake if anyone is interested. There on PDF format and would need to be emailed. They show the old river, roads, creeks, and so forth, but no depth or contour lines.

At one time, I never through any soft plastics away - I'm Scottish I would sort them into storage cans and when the time was right, I would wash them in a mild dish-washing soap, lay them out to dry on paper towels, and then remelt them. If I recall, the remelts were not as transparent as fresh plastic, but they worked great. I didn't know bout stabilizer's then or I would have used it. Tip: if your doing small batches, use a cup or pan to match the volume of your job. Also, when you have leftover plastic in the pan, let it cool into a small flap-jack that fits nicely into a sandwich size zip-lock.

Do they allow any hard stuff in Gunthersville, if so I'll drop a bottle of JD on the table If you noticed, I didn't say it would have anything left in it

X2,,, SM & LM here on the Potomac, it's my go-to color on dull days.

It comes automatically with age.

LOL, no....... Nothing......... She says when it grows out she might think about it, she doesn't like it short.........

We know, we're just jerking your chain I'll be in the corner with the guy's with the mason jar's.

I had long, white, wavy hair. The last time I had it cut the barber asked how would I like it, I said take it all off, he said excuse me, and I repeated myself. A woman waiting with her two small boys sat there watching with her mouth hanging open the whole time. It was quite funny, watching her, watching me. When I got home, my wife refused to touch my head; she asked why!!! I told her I wanted something different..... She hasn't touched my head yet

It means "take a bath, put on your Sunday clothes" (from my dad when I was a kid), and show up with a smile on your face. (from my wife).

Which maps, the one's I download or the Nav?? . If you want the old timers maps, pm me your email address.

Is there anything I can do to help out?? And yes, I'll be there:)

Where are you getting the Navionics maps? I'm downloading USGS topo from 1936 showing details before the lake was flooded; I'm also downloading topo's from 1984 time frame, it gives me a before and after view. But this is probably old school to most of you. There is so much structure there I don't think my engine is going to have a chance to get hot.

I hope the local tackle shop will have enough licenses and lake maps; I'm looking for a good topo map.

X2 I've stopped going in our WM, it started to look like a K-Mart. I'd rather order on-line and save the two hour R/T to PBS. Our local tackle shop is rip-off city.....

I don't know about you guy's but my system is way out of wack. I was in the Mattawoman (a creek off of the Potomac river south of DC) a week ago and saw temps ranging from 60 -67 deg. My back yard looks like it's late April. Tonight we're looking at freezing temps to move in from the north. I have no idea how this will affect the spawn this year. I would think this cold front will drive our bass deep until we get some warmer days.

LOL, LOL, Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement center were sitting on a bench under a tree; one turns to the other and says: 'Slim, I'm 83 years old now and I'm just full of aches and pains. I know you're about my age. How do you feel?' Slim says, 'I feel just like a newborn baby.' 'Really!? Like a newborn baby!?' 'Yep. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants.'

LOL, now that was a lot of golf balls....

Question: Is there a schedule of events, or whenever? Or is this a very loose week where you basically do your own thing? I've never been on a BR road trip.

Anyone driving down the RT. 95 corridor around D.C. that would like a ride, or to meet up for a caravan. I'll be taking RT. 66 out of the D.C. metro area to RT. 81 south. Also, you could overnight here for FREE ! I have two room available that can sleep two each, and I have a rec room with a hard floor for the more adventurous of you. PM me if your interested.

A senior citizen said to his eighty-year old buddy: 'So I hear you're getting married?' 'Yep!' 'Do I know her?' 'Nope!' 'This woman, is she good looking?' 'Not really.' 'Is she a good cook?' 'Naw, she can't cook too well.' 'Does she have lots of money?' 'Nope! Poor as a church mouse.' 'Why in the world do you want to marry her then?' 'Because she can still drive!'

A long, long, time ago, an old Scotsman was out fishing the Mississippi with his hook and worm Cain pole when his hook became stuck on something under the water. Unable to shake it free, he thought about going in after it, but the old river’s current was just too strong. Perplexed by this, he returned to his Ox cart nearby for a shot of whisky while he thought out what to do. While grumbling about his misfortune to his Ox, he hit on the solution! He dug a diversion channel, blocking off the river bend he was fishing. Now, with no current to contend with, he dove in to retrieve his hook, and then continued fishing. They say, along the river to this day, you can still see everywhere the old Scotsman got his hook stuck, and the places are called Oxbows…. EMM, 03/26/12

Sounds like a fun project, enjoy....

Well come on people, get on the map. You may find a new friend near by....
