======================
Hey Bob!
-> 
->  ->  
->  ->  Well you should, your the only person I know in Puyallup Washington.
->  ->  
->  HN> Well I live in Tacoma...but that's CLOSE to Puyallup!
->  
->  Darn the story of my life, close but never hit the mark exactly.
->
Yeh, happens to me all the time too! (grin)
  
->  ->   ->  Jake and I seldom bring any home.  Just fun tricking them into 
->  ->  ->  bitting.  He became dedicated when he got a big pike on a 
jitterbug 
->  ->  ->  while bass fishing one evening and the fish bit the plug in half.  
->  ->  
->  ->  We bring Perch and Walley home.  We won't even keep a walleye over 
->  ->  about 18 inches as they get kinda chewy then.  We are picky 
fishermen. 
->  ->  :-)
->  -> 
->  HN> Not Picky...just descriminating tastes!
->  
->  Yea!!!  Now I feel a lot more refined than before.  Thank you.
->
You's a very refined fellow!
->  
->  ->  HN> You outta take Jake to Cabo for a fishing trip sometime!
->  ->  
->  ->  Maybe he will take me sometime.  For a 13 year old he sure has been 
->  ->  around.  California at Stanford last month for ten days, then another 
->  ->  10 days roaming the coast with his Mom.  She has a doctor friend 
who 
->  ->  does volunteer work in the Caribbean part time and has a house down 
->  ->  there in the Cayman Islands.  He lets her and Jake use it for a few 
->  ->  weeks at a time.  That's cool as he gets to hang out with local kids
->  ->  and learn about their lifestyle.  Much better than going on a cruise 
->  ->  or a vacation resort type thing. I wouldn't be surprised if they were 
->  ->  to tell me they intend to make that motorcycle trip I've always 
dreamed 
->  ->  about across the Swiss Alps next year.  :-) 
->  ->
->  HN> Sounds like he's enjoying his youth...a good philosophy
->  HN> as it will disappear soon enough...as we found out !
->  
->  Well, I did push it as long as I could.  Betcha you did to, but this
->  second run at childhood isn't that bad you know.  It was the job and
->  responsibility stuff that got in the way and wrecked the middle part.
->
Dang those jobs anyway! 
   
->  ->  HN> At our ages we have more of a past to 
->  ->  HN> draw on and the future ain't always what
->  ->  HN> it's advertised to be (grin)
->  ->  
->  ->  I can't bitch much.  The past was fun, and the future seems to be 
->  ->  kinda fun too, so far that is.
->  ->  
->  HN> We make the best of the hand that gets 
->  HN> dealt to us! My knee surgery is my hope
->  HN> that I can stay mobile and not have to use
->  HN> a stupid cane all the time! 
->  
->  I need to drop a few pounds, like about 80, to feel better again and 
->  get the use back in my knees.  I know that's the problem, but food 
->  just taste so darn good.   It's all Dorothy's fault you know.  If she
->  was a bad cook, I could be slim and trim.
->
I too need to drop some poundage...80 would
be nice!
->  
->  ->  HN> lot of the tourists who come from "far away" do that
->  ->  HN> as getting it back home is a lot less dicey.
->  ->  
->  ->  Chuckle..  I take it you could sell them then.  Help pay for the 
->  ->  charter.
->  ->
->  HN> Nope, you can't "sell" them..you can Trade
->  HN> them for Canned...plus you have to pay a
->  HN> "canning fee" and they discount what they
->  HN> figure the heads and bones would weigh...
->  HN> I don't think it's such a good deal, and never
->  HN> did it myself, but if you live in Michigan it's a 
->  HN> good way to get the salmon back home in 
->  HN> an edible state. 
->  
->  I don't think anyone here would trade a fresh fish caught on a 
->  charter boat for anything stuffed in a can that was taken out of 
->  a river with a seine just before it completely decomposed into 
->  worm food.
->
Nope you get canned salmon that someone 
else caught on an earlier charter and "traded"
at the cannery. Your salmon will be canned and
traded to someone else from a later charter.
  
->  HN> Me, I like fresh fish...not canned.
->  
->  I like the ones the restaurant makes for me.  The fish market
->  sells perch for $12 a pound. Or a perch dinner with about a 
->  pound of properly cooked perch, few fries and some slaw on a 
->  Styrofoam platter for $13.   Guess which way I go. :-)
->  
Which brings us back to why we both
could drop those 80 pounds! (grin)
chat with you soon!
