Slate Drake,

Welcome to FAOL. You'll get along just fine with this crowd. It's good to know something about folks when they come on board, and you did a fine intro. I'll drink gin only if they run out of brown whiskey, and I have no use for slow rods at this point in my life. If that ever changes, I'll have a reason to build some more rods (like I really needa reason at all ).

You're close enough that you may want to consider joining us for the Michigan Fish-In. It's a grand time with grand people, and you might even catch a fish or two along the way.

Pull up a chair and join in the fun.

Joe
