good stuff ... (stil drooling / dreaming on puttting myself out in some similar area) ........

About the hip - my good friend (old flight engineer from Hercules and Sea Kings) had one replaced. The best he could ever describe it was - clunky. But - yes, it did take a tad of time. I'm sure everyone tells you what to do and what not to do with it ......... (I won't, I'm sure you know when ...)

Anyhow, the fall run is shortly upon us - it seems as though some are already turning colors, kypes are forming .... time where beautiful fish get more beautiful ..... spawning male brookie, full colors, on a freestone stream with the mountains in the background ....... I can see you teasing us already .........


thanks,
