Thanks, Joe - the blackfish was as fresh as it gets. It's a good thing you're 21 now, it has a lot of vermouth in it - positive ID required for the chowder
But now I wanna get another coupla tog so Fishweewee and Maddog2020 can show me how to do it up with scallions and ginger - now
that would be my idea of something. Might go out in the morning to wade for some more if I get up in time - wanted Maddog to go with me this AM but we thought back-to-backs might be pushing our luck a little too much for Mrs. Maddog and Mrs. Crafty. Of course, with Mrs. Crafty a big tog fills my cookie jar pretty nicely. Ya know, maybe it's time to take her along if she wants to go with me
- hell, she proved she can whip a plug as good as most guys when we were out on BI years ago, musta been all that muskie fishing she did with her Dad when she was a kid.
(Now, if we can only find all of those glass-eyed CC's her Dad had -
Hell, Garrett ain't all that far from her hometown, ya know, my bro-in-law has sent me some giant jointed pikies NIB.)
Anyway -
Ray - tell Maddy that Daisy ran into the suite while Johanna was in there after you guys left (and she knows it's off-limits) - she kept looking around the suite - looking for her is what we think! Must have been the stuffed bunny, they've got something in common, I guess. Thanks for the kind words, we were delighted to have you all for guests - I just wish the weather had been a little better - and the fishing, too
. Glad you had fun in spite of the weather. Well, there's always next time - study the course material, next time around we're gonna put it to work on a "field trip". Johanna says hi and thanks - she was beat from the landscaping Saturday - I was gonna help, but......uhhhh....I sorta had a previous engagement in CT.
THE Bon Zoo? Damn, Blackeye, my alma mater - I was there a coupla months ago to celebrate my anniversary - nah, not our wedding, the first time I ever tended bar, it was 30 years ago at the Zoo. Great place man, I make a pilgrimage whenever I'm in the neighborhood - actually, if I wasn't so damned tired, I was thinkin' about stopping by for a short rinse. I love the vibe at the Zoo, hasn't changed a bit in all that time, it's great. Got talking to the chef there - Joe, I remember - and he used to drink in the bar I owned in Newport! Small world, huh?
Well, like I always say, RI is the biggest small town in the U.S.
Anyway - good seeing - and meeting - youse guys. Now I'm looking forward to the Mass Leg
