Just venting a little-just can't seem to find time to get out on the water...fished about 3 hours for catfish this year..thats it.Get about 1 day off every 2 weeks(I know,be glad I have a job)boat stll sitting at the farm and I have no clue where all my rods and tackle are.Kinda spread out in the basement and garage Doh

This is akward,but soon I'm going to beg a ride with one of you smithville boys before I burst

Just feeling down and overwhelmed this morning,oldest daughter has been in and out of the hospital for a month now,and burning the candle at both ends working,visiting her,and taking car of the 3 grandkids


never mind...I feel better now

Sorry to hear about your daughter Cook. If you ever get down this way, you're welcome to fish with me.

Hang in there Cook. You're doing the right thing man. Someone will get you on the water, or I'll drive up there and do it.

Cook, I'm the guy with the goofy schedule and go over to Smithville during the week pretty regular. So far, Bill's right, you ain't missing much. Having said that, I know from personal experience, sometimes a guy just needs to get out and air things out a bit, regardless of whether they are biting!!!

Anytime you want to go, let me know and we'll make it happen!!! Good luck with your daughter and those younguns.

Here's my mantra, "Work to fish...fish to live...live to love"!!!

Thanks all,feels better just getting it off my chest..got them all off to school,took a shower and threw in a load of laundry,and headed off to work.
The womens elite 8 is across the street,and I'm catering a party for the ESPN crew today-don't have cable so won't know any of them,probably just the "behind the scene" guys,but at least its something different...get some flowers after work today for my daughter,its her birthday,and visit her for a spell-get home and get the kids,cook dinner,dry the laundry,check homework,get them off to bed...then start over 6 hours later.....

You're a great dad and a great grandpa! Hang in there!
