Gone Fishing.

Haven't been active lately and about to be even less so. Decided to go fishing and one of the best salmon rivers in Canada is the Miramichi. So this Sunday, just short of my 78th birthday I'm hopping in a moving truck and driving across the country to a house I bought that's on the banks of said river. The missus will be following along in her pick'emup truck. For her it's a return home, for me it's a Heinlein moment. On one hand Miramichi calls itself a City but has less then 19,000 people, on the other hand my brother-in-law has a couple of lobster boats. Not sure how that relates, but I love lobster, not so fond of crowds or traffic. Anyway, Ladies Gents...it's been fun. See you on the flip side. Not going to delete my account. I take my stuff down to much other stuff goes with..so I'll stay up. Might even pop in to compare Atlantic pooning to Pacific Pooning.

Happy Birthday and all the best to you and your wife (weird saying that here) on your new life in NB.

Unc, it has been an honour to share copious accounts of debauchery with you for 20 years or so. Many fond memories along the way. Wish you all the best, and please show off a pretty salmon pic at some point. Flip side buddy. -Punt.

Congrats on the beginning of a new chapter! You've got 13 years on me and this is inspiring. I've really enjoyed reading much of what you've posted. (Not everything 'cause I'm not an ass kisser) Don't lick the spoon. Return the occasional favour. Don't join the circus. Crack a few skulls Pass the lube.

Ever the iconoclast! Old farts sitting in their rocking chairs waiting for the end? Not this guy! Enjoy the salmon and lobster.
