If you will all check the first post, where the participants are listed, you can see the status of each, listed right after the pattern name. Names without any entry after the pattern means that I have not heard from them as to their status (or I've messed up and forgot to enter it). My last post was for them. It was just a reminder we're getting close to the end.

I just got back home. I will overnight mail them tomorrow.

I want to thank Cathie for tryng to check in on the board and look things up for me. I couldn't get internet access, or cell phone. She also posted a message for me. I'll have to teach her the difference between a Fishing Lure and a Fly, but I think I'll keep her.

I had to do a change ofplans, as she brought me the bag of materials I told her to bring me, but I didn't have the right materials for the flies I was tying in the bag. I had to invent a pattern based on the materials available and tie a fly from them. Since creativity was the theme, I may still qualify. (For a brief second, I thought I was going to have to tie a fly with items found in the hospital, but I was able to call a local fly shop and have them get me some hooks and a few odds and ends. Cathie was able to pick them up on her way in to visit.

Man, you're hardcore!

[Gigmaster]

Bad to the bone!!!!

A fly with hospital materials......? Now you got me thinking. I may have to experiment. It'd be sort of like a Real Silver Doctor......

Get well and don't push it too hard. We'll wait.

Sent express mail this morning. They should arrive by 3:00 tomorrow.

Haven't come up with a name for them yet.

[jdubach]

You should get mine by the weekend. I sent them priority.

Oh! I tied what I call the Peacock Hypnosis nymph. Gold BH, peacock ice dubbing for body, peacock sword for little tail and green ultrawire ribbing. The brookies are absolutely mesmerized by it....hence the name.
