Hi Dan

 

[DanC]

Hey Bob.

Most of these folks don't remember when we both had to suit up with asbestos undergarments... heheh.

 

[Sukhoi]

Hallo.

 

[Wolfie]

Woo, this is starting to turn into another 1999 thread.

WHAT UP TRAIN!?!?

Let's see who else shows up.

Hi DanC!

 

[Joe O]

Dan,
Hi! How are the cats?




and the trout?

Joe O.

 

[Fingers]

yes, I'm quite curious about the trout.

 

[ViRGE]

Train and DanC in the same place... why do I have this sudden feeling of fear? Good to see both of you guys.

 

[DanC]

Hey all... I was out for a bit.

Sorry to say - the trout are all dead. The moron I rented my house to let the stream back-up and it pumped the pond dry. :|

Cats are still morons, The goats are morons, the chickens are morons - but the bunnies are fine. :Q

Hey ViRGE, Want to have a flame-war just for old times sake? heheheh...

edit: You know what REALLY PI$$ES me off about the whole thing? Those trout were upwards of 20-24 inches long! :|

Still haven't done the new pond at this place. We've certainly got the room, but for the one I have in mind - the liner alone would be about $10K. :Q Guess I'll need to find a job huh?

 

[Wiz]

dood,



see my trout pond???



190 feet of River Frontage

 

[DanC]

Wiz,

Why does that look strangely like WASHINGTON?

If so... there are no trout. I gave up fishing here. There's a gill-net on the mouth of every river - so there's no steelhead anymore either. :|

 

[Assimilator1]

That really sucks about your Trout
I hope you stung him for it!

 

[Wiz]

hehehe... yes I have caught trout here

Unfortunately you are right about most places being too fished out. If you can't find a place where they are planted and get to them before they are fished out then you are out of luck.
Some of the best trout I've ever eaten came out of lake Constance in the Olympic mountains.

And yes, my little piece of River Frontage is on the upper Snoqualmie river, about a mile up river from the falls.

 

[DanC]

Ahaaaaah. I thought that looked suspiciously familiar.

Didn't know you were here 'in state' Wiz. Guess next time I tool up the 'ol pass I'll have to wave.

 

[Wiz]

yeah, that pic is a few years old - hasn't snowed down here at the 421 foot elevation in a long time

You know there is a group that goes around to the lakes and plants trout here in the northwest, I've always been tempted to join up & help out in the cause.

(imagine that, an organization that carries live fish out into the wild and lets them go in fresh water lakes - pretty cool form of philanthropy eh?)

 

[DanC]

heh. Yeah - virtually everywhere else the DNR stocks the lakes and rivers with the fees collected from fishing licenses. Here - I think it goes to light rail or something equally noble. :Q

 

[Wiz]

Here - I think it goes to light rail or something equally noble.

heh, a man after my own heart
Funny how many times you can vote something down and have it come back if it happens to be the beurocrats favorite cash cow huh?

 

[DanC]

... and when you DO vote for something - the GOVERNOR SUES you!

What's up with that?

I'm thinking about moving to Texas. Anyone want to join me?

 

[Wiz]

I'm thinking about moving to Texas

I like Texas, except for the flight path
Pretty nasty right now, with all the debris to deal with. But there is a lot more light and it sure stays a lot warmer.
Now if you are talking about somewhere on the gulf coast, I'm in!!! Man I love that gulf!!!

 

[bot2600]

Let me know where you guys decide on, the economy here in nc is about crappo, so I could use some new scenery too

 

[jatwell]

OMG, somebody else from Charlotte

And yes, the economy sucks here, I can confirm!

 

[DanC]

Dasm...

I sure wish they'd get on with whacking that nosebag in Iraq so that SOMETHING, ANYTHING would happen to the economy here.

We're toast until that's resolved.
