85 Catfish

56 Croakers
and somewhere around 90-100 Sharks, most 1-2 foot size...couple in the 3-4 foot range

| Yum yum....but only the speckled trout, white trout, and flounders. Gave away the rest. Threw the sharks, stingrays, and hardheads back. Used the croakers for cut bait.
I did take a float and tie it to one of the smaller sharks. Looked like the movie Jaws where the barrells are dragging through the water and then go under. Was interesting to see where the shark swam until it disappeared under the surface of the water. Then an hour later we saw it come up again, still being towed around....eventually it disappeared again and we never saw him again. So if anyone ever catches a shark with a float tied to him....it's mine!  (little shark.jpg)Attachments ---------------- little shark.jpg (29KB - 0 downloads) |

| You don't look anything like I imagined... you've just shattered 8 years of delusion. This new reality is a scary, unfamiliar one... 
Nice shark. Am I going to get DOS'd by PETA now? |

| C'mon, C:Amie, didn't you ever see Rich's pic on the Smartphone & Pocket PC Magazine site? (I admit the smirk in this pic makes Rich look like a guy who just swallowed a goldfish. )
(PETA has a DOS app?  ) |

| Yup. You try to log in and all you see is either flour or red paint.

| Probably none of us look like we envision. I'm old, retired, fat, and I like to fish, hunt, and blow things up. I'm well educated, but not necessarily intelligent. I used to be thin and happy....then I got married.
The fact that I love HPCs is probably some aberrant behavioral anomoly.
I am all for PETA except on days beginning with T.  |

| What a hard life...  I am happy that you are actually enjoying your retirement!  
Just make sure that you bring your MP with you to CA this time. Also, maybe you can convince CE Geek to meet you up there... |

| CAuser is closer - he's up there in the Silicon Valley.
I'm considering going to SF for a one-day seminar on 12 July - but it sounds like that's before Rich will get there, and I doubt I'll be able to stay more than 24 hours (if I can go at all ).  |
