Too much reading for me and I don't want to hurt myself, so I good with it being on a Thursday so most of us can have a 4 day weekend.  t^

My biggest fear is when I die my wife sells all of my fishing tackle for what she thinks I paid for it!

This reminds me of a conversation I had a week ago with my 4 year old son:

"Dad how does the engine in your truck work?"

"Well you see son, the diesel fuel is drawn up to the engine by these fuel pu...."

Interrupts

"oohhh look at this stick Daddy!"

Its better to sit in a boat and think about God, than to sit in a church and think about fishing.

Way too much reading, but comes down to the government decided to have it that day. Also says the first thanksgiving with the pilgrims was in the summer.

A good day of fishing is better than a bad day of fishing. A bad day of fishing is better than a good day of work. That means work sucks!
