Sorry, Sagefisher and HELLO, to all!

First, I’m sorry, Sagefisher, about winning March’s drawing when you had obviously already expressed your desire to win, in the “announcements section” above.
I feel badly about wining and you not. Honest. Okay, I feel SOMEWHAT BAD about winning the Choata jacket, which is a really fantastic looking jacket and you not. Okay, fine.Even though you’re a great guy and I considered you a friend of mine… I won it and feel great about doing so! Sorry.

Secondly, on a serious note, I do want to thank Deanna and that guy she hangs out with,(if someone would please PM me his name, I’d appreciate it, thank you!?!) and all involved with the web’s finest fly fishing web site for the winning of the Choata jacket and all the contests we have here on FAOL.
I also want to thank everyone that’s been PM, Emailing and calling me, lately to find out “how I’m doing” and have been concerned enough about my health and current status to also inquire about…“Have you decided, yet, on who gets your tackle if you don’t make it?!”.
(Sorry, Vise Theif, my oldest son gets my Boo’ sticks. Joe V. the Abels are also spoken for, like I told you, but you hung up so fast, maybe you didn’t hear me)
Anyway, all your concern and caring has been beyond words, believe me.

Currently, the med regiment I’m on, has been working to some degree and at “last count”, things ARE beginning to “reverse themselves” a little bit.
Meaning, in short, that I may have casue to keep and actualy use all my tackle mysef.
I’m hoping to be back on the BB, here, shortly on a regluar basis but only time and these latest meds, will tell.
AGAIN, thank you to all concerned, for the winning of the nice jacket in the drawing and for all the great, continuing, friendhsips I have here on this wonderful site!

“CONGRATULATIONS!!!” I cannot think of a better person to have won the drawing! I am happier knowing that the new meds may be doing their thing and pray they will continue to do their thing for you. You deserve the winning and the good news with the meds. I miss you on the BB and will look forward to you getting back on line again.

I will continue to keep you on my mind and in my prayers…

Love you my friend…

Flybinder,

Congratulations on winning the jacket. Chota makes some dang fine products and I’m sure you’ll be snug and dry in that coat.

Unlike me, who’ll be standing in the freezing rain, getting soaked to the skin and possibly having hypothermia set in. I’ll probably get so wet and cold I won’t be able to tell if a steelhead takes my fly or not (whimper, whimper, whine). Not working, huh? Oh well, I tried.

Congrats again.

Glad to see you back on the board! If I was able to pick who I would loose to it would be you!

Prayers continue.:smiley:

Let me guess…Mikey or Joe V.??? :lol:

Congratulations on winning the coat Paul!

Flybinder, Congratulations on a fine win. You came through with flying colors and took that prize. Now, to all who are reading this: The Batson gift certificate is MINE.

Just want to see if that works. Jim

Congratulations on the win Paul. As bad as I wanted to win it , it probably wouldn’t have fit anyway.

Flybinder,

I am glad you won the jacket, it should help keep you nice and warm as you are catching some spring time fish (if spring would ever show up).

There is always this month and the next and the next…

Glad you are feeling better, keep it up.

Ok, let’s address this stuff Mr Happy…
FIRST, I do NOT recall Sagefisher “wining”, you big cry baby! Although you DID say YOU were “wining”…Why can’t you just take WINNING graciously? :stuck_out_tongue:
SECOND, I don’t want your ol’ Boo sticks…I want your size 11/12/13 WADING boots & enough tissue to stuff in the toes so they’ll FIT me! :rolleyes: :wink:

Seriously, congrats on winning the jacket. It’s always a thrill to get that email, isn’t it?

As I have told you during some of our phone conversations, “none of us is getting out of this thing alive anyway, so we better have some fun while we’re here.” Of all the low life individuals I know (Mikey being the lowest), YOU have embraced this philosophy the best. You have been dealt more $hit than anyone should be permitted to receive, yet you have managed to make a magnificent $hit pie which you continue to serve back to your low life acquaintances and friends, one thin slice at a time (the whipped cream does a great job of tempering the flavor ). I am in awe of your talent.

FYI, I already have enough FF crap that I don’t have time to use, so send my sweepings from under the tying table to the Vise Thief, just to keep him from whining any more. Remind him that the dog hairs make great dubbing.

If you become bored (and someone obviously was, to have come up with this delight), here’s a meal that is both fun to make and nutritious. Poor man’s seafood dinner.
