I thought i would be able to make it.Do the drive up on Friday an visit the Slipknots I miss that. then work took a little longer than expected it happens all the time.Then i was gonna do the suicide run but the weather scared me off.Good thing I didn't try.I Have no will power like Striper Knight he said he left early an I am always one of the last ones to leave.Went for a drive last night when it was comin down good, man it was hard to see more than 30 ft.True blizzrd conditions it was very eerie like right out of one of those scary movies. sideways snow an heavy 35+ mph winds.Oh well there's always next yr.Now i get the pleasure of reading all the stories an such. I just wanna poke my eyes out.Oh an thanks for the phone call.Next time when i come u can just kick me in the nuts it will hurt less.

First off I would like to say that I am so happy to be a part of such a special group of people!
I know that these guys are some of the best plug builders in the World!
And are inventing and turning some serious wood for sure
That will be around a lot longer than most of us will be on this earth!

Thanks to John,Dave and Slip to put this thing in action again!
A special thanks to Tagger for serveral things

First off for having 2 special guys,Carl and Stan K, What a joy talking to both of them and to see Stan smile as he looks at the antique fishing lures built by himeself and other fishing legendary lure designers that he grew up with and fished the banks of the canal with for many years.
Talking with both of them was very special to me!

Also It was nice to talk with someone older than CS

A huge thanks to CS for yet another work of art of his is now in my collection.

The food was unreal and every time I turned around I noticed another good friend Paul M trying like hell to add 5lbs to the 110 lb frame of his ..lol

Karl, thanks for the beer, I am sure it's a first for me to have a beer in front of me for that long of a time frame that I did not open

Congrats to all the people who won prizes for their works of art!

Thanks for all the speakers and demos, DZ always nice to see you.

Thanks to Vic for missing his services Next time bring a plug for me!

Thanks go out to Flap, let me know if you need anything else from me.

ANd glad to meet a bunch of new friends that I hope to see and fish with in the future.
Regards
