I talked to him and he said due to a lot of personal issues there would be no 2010 calendar. He hopes to have one in 2011.

People wanted that calendar in the worst way. One of the most called about items of the holiday season.

Customer: "Hello, I'd like to order the Sandman Calendar."
SWE: I'm afraid we don't have any this year.
Customer: "What do you mean there's no Sandman Calendar?"
SWE: Well, there's no calendar.
Customer: "Sooo... when are you getting the calendar?"
SWE: I'm not sure.
Customer: "Really?"
SWE: I don't think there is one this year.
Customer: "stunned silence"
SWE: How about the Women in Waders calendar?

Just kidding about that last part.

Happened a couple times a day for a while. Felt like I told a 6 year old there was no Santa Claus a few times. :)

I'm not taking last years down - so many pics of my favorite places to cast. The DVD also has hundreds of great shots.
I'm looking forward to the 2011 Sandman calendar.

Yes, he needs to skip this year but he hopes to be back next year with it.

In the meantime, the FLy Fishing Calendar may have to do...

Jeezz, I am really sorry about this personal screw up this year guys. It's my fault, no excuses.
I had some of the photos I wanted to use but I was not satisfied and needed a second flight to complete it. The weather sucked when I could make the flights this year and I got involved in too many other things that distracted me. You really need a "perfect" day to do this. I have tried it on nice days...the photos are OK but not good enough, it has to be a perfectly clear day in Late June, July or Aug. There were lots of overcast, hazy days this year and they all fell at times when I could do it.
Anyway I will make more of an effort next year. I would like to add video of the entire flight to the DVD as well. I am glad to hear that there was interest in it but sorry I could not meet the demand. I enjoy doing it and I got past break even last year so it is a hobby that does not cost me much...just a little time and effort.
Again, sorry for the missed year. Jim

Thanks for the constructive criticism...most guys want tides/moon phase/sunrise...we have a few of those beaches here but most of the people on them are not ones that you would want to showcase if you know what I mean. (envision Dershowitz in the nude :yak5:)

Over rated - at this point in my life I'll take white water rolling over SW bar over T&A anytime.

I dunno, Dennis - a few years back I ran into an honest to God professional bikini photo shoot at the 'Tail around sunset on my way to sling eels with Bryan...:shocked:

For me it was a surfcaster's dream, the best of both worlds without a doubt...:uhuh:

If memory serves, we barely escaped a skunking - apparently I'd lost my focus...:hihi:

But it did make a dirty old man very happy...:hee:

That sounds about right, Bryan - I don't recall any wall-hangers

The only thing I remember vividly is the red bikini...:)
