Originally I had planned to be on the South Fork (Snake), HFork, Beaverhead, or Missouri fishing by last week.

Now, as minor delay heaps on minor delay, it looks like I'll be doing well to actually make it much before Mother's day. I'm retired and do the 6 month long Montahoming trout bum thing each summer, but I'm having trouble getting 'on the road again' this year.

Note for others to learn from: .... don't plan semi-major home improvements involving several different trades and contractors just before vacation time
