Au contraire, Clevis. Captain Francis has invited me, although I suspect
he
regrets having done so by now. :-)

Absoutely not - heated or strident discussions here have no place on
the boat, my truck or my home.

People are people - has nothing to do with being outdoors and
outfishing some crazed paranoid anti-social newsgroup fisherman
wannabe from New York. :)

Offer still stands and we'll have some fun.

You will lose of course, but that's to be expected. :)

How late in the season are you OK fishing fresh water? I mean, at what
temp
do your fingers finally say "You're kidding, right?"?

I'm game right up to when the lakes freeze over.

We got a game on here or what? :)

The answer lies beneath the aluminum trim around my windows. Once upon a
time (last week), there was this absolutely perfect plan for removing hinged
wooden windows in groups of 6, and getting them painted, assembly line
style, in an area of my basement arranged for this. While removing one, I
leaned against the lower trim, and got squish instead of something hard to
lean against. Completely rotted. I was able to scoop it out with a spoon.
The youngsters who owned this house before took some short cuts.

Removed the storm window from the window, and prepared to brush off the
loose paint. Ha. The youngsters tried to glaze the window, but they didn't
let the putty or the paint cure. When the storm window was unscrewed and
lifted off, it took the glazing with it. Nice. Haven't had a chance to
continue since last weekend. On Saturday, I'll know how many more of these
nightmares I have to deal with. Easy work, but time consuming. Combine this
with band practice 3 nights a week....

Never mind. The other option is to just let the windows go to hell, and
replace them with modern ones sooner than I wanted to.
