[cool][blue][size 1]"CRAP FROM THE SENSEI". Great title for a book...or a sitcom.[/size][/blue]
[#0000ff][size 1]Good news or bad news, I AM moving back to Utah at the end of July. And...Cat_Man...no need to keep the doors and windows locked at night. TubeBabe doesn't let me out at night.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]I have been "commandeered" to be part of several group get-togethers once I get my new digs settled in. Got some heavy duty recipe trading to do. Maybe a "pot luck" bring your favorite recipe...or make it there...would be fun for all. Also, I have definitely been put on notice that I gotta fire up the lead melter and break out the paints and dressings for some jig making sessions. I'm down widdat.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]With all the combined talent in the area, there's no good reason why we can't have some kind of BFT seminar session at least once a month. We can do some on different waters, different species, different tackle and techniques, or whatever anyone votes for. I have long believed that talking about something is one thing, but seing it done and trying it yourself is the best way to learn.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]Weather permitting, we can do a lot of on the water things. When it gets cold and white, we can move it inside...if somebody has access to a room large enough to hold a few rowdies.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]I'm thinking that there shouldn't ever be much expense involved...besides gas money for those who live further away. Carpooling can help there. Of course, once anybody picks up a new nasty habit, like jig making, they are on their own. I will not cosign for a second mortgage for anybody.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]The good news is that there is always a way for somebody to try new things, without having to go into debt for it. In some cases, several "compatible" folks might want to split the costs of jig molds, melter and basic supplies to start making their own jigs. It's worth it. Once the budget loosens up, or you hit it big at Wendover, you can either buy out your partners or buy your own stuff. I got started by simply buying the lead and hooks and using a friend's jig mold. Now I have almost 30 of them.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]Anyways...I am in the countdown stages for heading back to the beehive state. And, although my dance card will be pretty full, I look forward to getting in lots of fishing with everybody I can. Just a word of warning though. I don't kiss on the first fishing trip and I always gotta lead when we dance.[/size][/#0000ff]
