Yeah there is a whole generation gone from this site now and I miss them all. Some of them are gone forever. Pan Man and Shoer, I will miss them both. Hog Choker, Dr. Speckle, Crappiesaurus Rex, DustDew and Gibby, Crappie11 and Crappie12, I know I am missing some and I miss them all. I hope to get to see the ones that are still on this earth again on the water soon if They don't come back here. I never got a chance to share the boat with Shoer and I hate that. It is something I always wanted to do. We got along so good together and He grew up on a farm so we had a lot in common and just a hoot to be around. That will always be a regret that I never got the chance to spend a day on the water with a good friend.
All You other old flunkies on here that want to jab me in the side, bring it on. i ain't forgot the good old days and always in for a good ribbing. Don G is older than Cock Roaches, Boscoe still don't like me since I stole his thunda on the riva in 11. Where the heck is corky? I miss stories about smoked eggs, Shoers entries into whatever magazine He used to write to, Pan Man very technical post on fishing tech stuff. Corky's post and pics from the road trip adventure of Corker, Hog Choker "the Chairman of the rules Committee" humor, wit and banter. CREX, where the heck are You? He showed me around on my first bash at the NWR. I liked him a lot. Good fella. I remember hearing him from way down the river cussing his motor because it was not running right and thinking that he sounded like He had been farming for a few years.
Yep, I remember when it was a daily roll on this board. I miss that. It is still a good board and good folks here and some of us old dinosaurs still here and ancient ones that have defied the laws of physics still being here like Don G. and Boscoe starting to move the needle on the old fart gauge. It was a lot of fun......and it can be again.
I hope this year that I get to see that Mysterious Man in the Orange Hat out on the water again. CF
