Ed,

One week from today. And yes, I am drooling with anticipation.

Harold, You know I just had to give you guys a hard time! The water was chilly but not too bad. The fishing was great! The day warmed up nice too. I just got back from fishing again. My friend Robert caught 8 nice trout, I got skunked. my mojo just wasn't working today I guess.

The fish kill and red tide worried me. I can handle the cold water with waders and I have the clothing to withstand a repeat of the conditions that sent us looking for a windless, warm, dry, location with hot coffee in Dec. But I don't like challenging bronchial asthma with red tide.

Instead, we went fishing for vehicles. We inherited a 93 Grand Marquis that Gloria was driving. It has been falling into aging car status for several years. Yesterday we replaced it with a new Hyundai SUV for Gloria. She will be much happier driving now. While the Mercury was a well maintained and equipped car, neither of us ever felt like we belonged in it, cared for the way it handled, or its sheer size.

I have a 95 Marquis. I like it, but it is a little bit of a submarine.
I'm down in south florida, and wanted to make the fish-in, but too busy with recent drama. I would like to go to next years. I was born in Bradenton, so I'm not unfamiliar with the area.

LedWater, with all those canals down there, you might need a submarine.

Ours was more like an ocean liner, tended to badly oversteer, and it was hard to feel the road well. However, it filled a need when we had it and we were grateful for that.

Yeah Dave, sure. Just remember that sometimes expectations are not always met.
