What can I say - I’m giddy over the trip. It seems like we wait forever, but the time is nigh! The only mysteries remaining are the flows, the bugs and the poison that Rich’s ex baked into our desserts. Dust off the 5 weight and patch the old waders, we’re going fishin’!

Apparently Lout David has been spending significant time at the new cabin - at least enough to locate the nearest fish monger. Says Lipkin, “These beauties were only $3.99 per pound and all are locally caught!”.

Turkey Bitch is back!!!  What more can be said or needs be?  The gang is lining up to bring their favorite dishes and the bonfire wood has been split, stacked and aged.  Now, save for a quick trip to the liquor locker, it’s just a matter of a few weeks until “Bug Week ‘07″.  Tie ‘em up, boys!
