Smokey and I both had a good time. It was unusual and totally coincidental that all the original mods happen to plop our butts down at the same table.
I also enjoyed talking to Mike P , one of the very few original WMI participants and of course a valuable member here.
I was also very happy to see Katie and Bob Melody after a two year TFCTFN missing in action by me. It may sound old fashion but its amazing to see the young people grow up like Katie. Its too bad Felicia wasn't there as I suppose she's changed a lot the last couiple of years too.
While some value the site most for fishing info , most of the original crew were very accomplished fisherman when the site started. The value to most of them is the people we have met and become friendly with. Its hard to believe ten years have past. I hope it lasts ten more at least.
Food was truly excellent this year and as always too much available and too much eaten. I made the mistake of covering half my plate with cole slaw and salad so I then had to "pile high" on the rest of the plate just to get a small taste of everything. I suffred the old "I ate too much" belly tension as usual. When will I ever learn that enough is enough!
Was also happy to see Smokey make the last minute comback in the raffle. He had bought lots of tickets but was skunked until about the last ten items on the regular table but he also one one of the big prize table drawing so alls well that ends well.
