hello all...
I would have posted sooner but the hot shower just felt too good!!!
It was excellent to see so many faces , some new some familiar, out there today. Hopefully, I will remember a few more names of people after today.
My day started off with a big flop. I didn't even get as far as to park my truck before things started going sour. Yep, you guessed it, stuck in the parking lot. Whoomp right down to the belly in the slush.
My humble thanks to those who helped to push me out of the ruts.
And the little lady who drove so I could lean my shoulder into it.
While the fishing was sporadic, the food and socializing was great. My thanks go out to all those who helped put on a great lunch on the ice!!! Carlco did a great job with cleaning of the fish for the fry-up. The fryers who kept the hot stuff coming. The mudpout was delicious. It was my first taste of the stuff but it definitely won't be the last!!!
I won't try listing everyone who provided for the meal as I am sure to forget someone... So I'll stick with one BIG thank you.
I think the only thing I hope do different next time would be to co-ordinate the group a bit better so everyone ate together. And that the food was ready all at once instead of the piece meal as it worked out. Though, I think it allowed people to eat more having a break between food courses!!!
I hope everyone got enough to eat. As there was a package of Hot dogs and buns leftover that could have been BBQ'd up...
I can't wait to see the pics of the day.
And despite some interesting variations, I will not be changing my name from "Duck Gunner" to "Stuck Truck" or "Dumb F$%# with the Stuck Truck".
Thanks for caring so much, blute!!!
Once again, great to see all the folks out there and hope to see you all again soon...
(C'mon Westmeath!!!)
