Hey boys been a while since i stopped in.  how has the fishing been?

Klop,
From what I've gathered the bite has been hit & miss. The ice is spotty as mentioned in Dec. There will be some great ice making weather for the next couple days with overnight low temps. of - teens below zero. The bottom dropping out of the temps. will change things up. Ah, what the heck, if they're not biting it leaves more time to drink Hamms.

Well thats good to hear.  You only have about another month with your permanite houses out there right?  Looks like SJU picked up a couple of studs for the upcoming season.  That kid coming from Albany looks like a beast.  As always pour a Grainbelt out for me. 

Haven't been out since Saturday, and then it was only fair. Caught a few, but they were on the small side. Not going out again until it gets much, much colder-Saturday, perhaps. Definitely have to keep the Hamm's inside. Ice is good enough to drive the Suburban on around here, which is nice. Lots easier to drive right up to your door with your gear.

Tmerton-I had to sign in just to give you +K for that one!! Good stuff!

I had to spread a little karma around on that also.
bennie,
How come a devoted Duck like you hasn't posted a bunch of Beaver jokes this week

I probably cheer more for the Ducks in Anaheim than I do the ones here. I tend to make more "observations" about the Beavers north of here than have jokes. For example, a few years ago some of their football players got pulled over by the police. When the officer asked them about the ram in the back of their pick-up, they told him that they didn't know how it got there. I explained to my friends that this is the reason why the bookstore sells women's sweatpants/shorts with "Beavers" written across the back. They are trying to keep the football players away from the livestock. If only they had the forthought to teach the team to read...

Too good not to share...

OLD BUTCH
John the farmer was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), called 'pullets', and ten roosters, whose job it was to fertilize the eggs.
The farmer kept records and any rooster that didn't perform went into the soup pot and was replaced. That took an awful lot of his time, so he bought a set of tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone so John could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report simply by listening to the bells.
The farmer's favorite rooster was old Butch, a very fine specimen he was, too. But on this particular morning John noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! John went to investigate.The other roosters were chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing. The pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover.
But to Farmer John's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. John was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the Renfrew County Fair and he became an overnight sensation among the judges.
The result...The judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Piece Prize but they also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well.
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making: who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most highly coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention.
Vote carefully...the bells are not always audible

Father jailed for taping jersey on son
Boy, 7, refused to wear Packers clothing before game

PORTAGE, Wis. (AP) -- Upset that his 7-year-old son wouldn't wear a Green Bay Packers jersey during the team's playoff victory Saturday, a man restrained the boy for an hour with tape and taped the jersey onto him.

Mathew Kowald was cited for disorderly conduct in connection with the incident with his son at their home in Pardeeville, Lt. Wayne Smith of the Columbia County Sheriff's Department said. Pardeeville is about 30 miles north of Madison.

The 36-year-old Kowald was arrested Monday after his wife told authorities about the incident. Kowald was taken to the county jail and held until Wednesday, when he pleaded no contest, paid a fine of $186 and was released.

Kowald's wife filed a restraining order Wednesday, so Kowald will not be able to have contact with his family, Smith said. Smith said other domestic issues have surfaced, though he wouldn't elaborate.

The boy refused to wear the jersey Saturday, when the Packers beat the Seattle Seahawks in a playoff game, Smith said. Smith said the incident sounded strange when reported at first, but the mother took pictures with her cell phone and that type of evidence is difficult to dispute.

Kowald, contacted later Wednesday by the Portage Daily Register, said the incident started as a joke. His son challenged him by saying he wouldn't root for the Packers. When he tied the boy up, the youngster was laughing while his wife took pictures, he said.

"Then he couldn't get out and he got upset and that's it. It lasted a minute," he said. "I didn't mean no harm, and he knows that, but I haven't been able to tell him that."

District Attorney Jane Kohlwey said there wasn't enough evidence to support felony charges.

"I wouldn't agree with what he did, but legally a parent can restrain a child," she said. "I have no proof of emotional damage. ... I have to follow the law.

With apologies to Rodgers and Hammerstein...

Packers in playoffs, Seahawks to be smitten
You will wear your jersey, that rule is unwritten
Taped to your body, now see how it clings
These are a few of my Favre-ite things

OB, I'm happy to take you up to 300 for that lyrical contribution.  You shudda been a songwriter (heck, since you're in SoCal, maybe you are).

Ole, a furniture dealer from up at Brainerd MN, decided to expand the line of furniture in his store, so he decided to go to Paris to see what he could find. After arriving in Paris he visited with some manufacturers and selected a line that he thought would sell well back home.

To celebrate the new acquisition, he decided to visit a small bistro and have a glass of wine As he sat enjoying his wine, he noticed that the small place was quite crowded, and that the other chair at his table was the only vacant seat in the house. Before long, a very beautiful young Parisian girl came to his table, asked him something in French (which Ole couldn't understand), so he motioned to the vacant chair and invited her to sit down. He tried to speak to her in English, but she did not speak his language so, after a couple of minutes of trying to communicate with her, he took a napkin and drew a picture of a wine glass and showed it to her. She nodded, so he ordered a glass of wine for her. After sitting together at the table for a while, he took another napkin, and drew a picture of a plate with food on it, and she nodded. They left the bistro and found a quiet cafe that featured a small group playing romantic music. They ordered dinner, after which he took another napkin and drew a picture of a couple dancing. She nodded, and they got up to dance. They danced until the cafe closed and the band was packing up. Back at their table, the young lady took a napkin and drew a picture of a four-poster bed.

To this day, Ole has no idea how she figured out he was in the furniture business.

Moi?  You're thinking I would try to pull a fast one on the MIACPP?  Nah - that's for Fins and TC.

[tmerton]

So, where's Oz tonight?  Watching Sharipova in the Ozzie Open or still trying to decide between the Beaver thong and the Beaver cap for Mrs. Oz?

[stanbob]

Things may be looking up, +K to all.  No ice making weather here today, hell it got above 10 degrees (on the positive side!!!) of course we got 10 inches of snow with it.

Glad things are looking up.  I'm on a call Monday with folks in Dillingham.  It'll be good if they have nice weather.

Keep spreading the +k (I just got you to 123 - nice pattern) - I went down 2k in the last 30 minutes (who else is up this late?)

I wouldn't have considered that pulling a fast one -- I enjoy The Onion.
