And Another Thing-
Actually,
Woofing noises are my favorite kind.

btw,
remember that tough looking dog on the little rascals
with the ring around it's eye?
It's name was Petey,
and it woofed too.
So,
there's that.

Well Pete, regarding your blog on sunday about medication, music and the "missing part of the trio"....
Had a friend years ago that received as a joke a life sized, realistic, blow up, ah, toy. Now he claimed it had never been used. If ya like I can give him a call if you might be interested in borrowing it.

Nah - with that type of action figure it means you got to be the one doing all the action. Me, I'm the lazy type, I would be jest fine with them doing all the work. plus no blow up doll can fetch me a cool one from the fridge.

If anybody up around Dallas knows a good Vet Pete might need his services. According to his blog yesterday he was fellin' a little wormy. Almost half done. He might need a dewormin to get all the dead charleys out if his system.

I may make a house call in the next few days. Pete has been seeing too many of those fancy doctors. Those folks are so dumb they think alcohol is bad for you...

I know. I read on his blog that he can't drink beer anymore it tastes so bad. Ditto on the taste of pizza. The HORROR !!!! I hope that charley gets kicked to the curb pretty damn fast so we can have the obnoxious beer guzzling version of Pete back ... I fear that if he does much more of this clean-living it may take hold as a habit he can't shake even when his tastebuds are restored to their former pristine functioning.

"even when his tastebuds are restored to their former pristine functioning."
Wait a minute. He mentioned something in all this about eating sushi. By 60 years old you'd think he learned how to cook fish. It's the only way to get that fish smell out of them so they taste good. When he gets over this we ought to all get together and have a fish fry so he can aquire a new taste. Slightly crunchy catfish makes beer taste even better (skip Goob's carp).

Every July , a great expedition is held, traveling the hyways and byways to Colorado. The final leg of the trek is 25 miles of forest service road to Platoro CO. where the trout fishing is unsurpassed. With a daily limit of 4 catch and release becomes necessary after the first hour on a good day, and most are very good.

Compounding this problem is the fact bag limit is 10 fish per person. so by day three were are having to eat fish, nothing is as good as fresh trout, grilled, smoked, fried it doesn't matter, fresh = good.

The great expedition is open to all with only a few rules, this year it scheduled starting July22-26 but some come earlier and some stay later. Some camp, some get cabins, I'm at Platoro Valley Lodge, it's a step up from primitive, has flush toilet.

Committed this year is are 11, but normally we have 7-16 just depends. Interested PM me and I'll answer questions.

My house in the Dallas area to camp, 820 miles

~~~~ Great Expedition Rues ~~~~

1. It is a manly expedition, If you bring small girls or women, open air urination, (pee peeing for doc PeePee) is not goignto be curtailed.
2. Scratching and farting is not restrictive, it itches; you scratch, you need to; you fart. Extra points for laying one out silent and then moving away
3. Drinking and smoking is a choice, but get rowdy and we will beat your ass, most are sober types.
4. Since there is no tv or radio, evening entertainment can consist of card playing but if you know how to 42 you're in like flint.
5. We don't care what you do, did or plan to do, we are there to fish and enjoy the good company of fellow fishermen.
6. The bringing of men child to the expedition is encouraged, but they will not be entertained, you bring em they are your responsibility. Love the kids, bring em.

Can anyone go and hunt these trouts or do i need to take a course or class to be qualified?

Barring unexpected developments, I'm in. I'm not sure about my boys.

Buy a fly rod and practice casting. One of the others going can suggest what fly's work best in that area or you can just buy som salmon eggs or nightcrawlers.

When I was a kid and lived there
live worms were illegal.

Pete thanks for jogging my memory. Fresh trout out of a cold clear mountain stream or river is some of the tastiest and tenedrest eating there is. Have not been since I was a kid. Dad worked at Martin-Marietta outside of Denver a couple of years then later for Stanley Aviation. Remember fishing the South Platte river and a couple of small lakes (Chin, Sherwin outside of Georgetown). Had to search for Platoro. Stayed in Del Norte once while skiing Wolf Creek. Such beautiful country. Been going to take the wife since we've been married. Could cause a divorce if I went without her now.

Here in Texas, brotherinlaw's family used to have a camp on the Brazos clear fork once a year - fish fry deluxe - yummiee!

Hope I don't have to serve hard time if caught smuggling em in.
