ON THE WATER FOR MAY (2008)

ON THE WATER FOR MAY                    (2008)

 

Hello Pard >><< Pull up a seat & Hold on to You Hat …. I have been so busy, this month; I could hardly Hit My Rear End with Both Hands !!!

I know many of you found APRIL to be the same, what with Important CERT Training, NPD Volunteer Training, Aquatic Angler Sessions, Meals On Wheels, Big Fish’s Birthday, Steelhead Smolt Planting, a Great Oyster Farm Tour & I Don’t Know What All ???

 

Now …. I didn’t even mention such stuff as Gas Prices Heading Stratospheric, New Zealand Mud Snails in Devils Lake, Brian Hudson as the New President of the Mid Coast Chapter of the Northwest Steelheaders, the Valsetz Dam Issue, the Salmon/Sea Lion Controversy, proposed increased fees for our Fishing Licenses, proposed improvements to our Tired Old Water Treatment Plant & Porta-Potty’s ……… This last issue came up, at the recent CERT Breakfast, when Jeannine Roederer & I got to talking about the New Spiffy Camping Trailer She & Tom recently purchased.  >><< I’ll get to the P>P> Matter in a little bit !!!!

 

 I want you all to know, I am hearing good things about Mary Roark’s recovery progress & Bud seems to be holding up well through it all. It is good to see Dick Garvey Stumping Around & Kay is her usual lovely self. I am a little worried, that I have not seen or heard from our Good Friend Charles Burke in a while >>>>> HELLO …. SHUTTER BUG …. ARE YOU STILL OUT THERE ????

 

What do you mean, what’s the scoop on the Porta-Potty’s ??   Just keep Your Shirt On …. I told you I’d get to that, but 1^st lets see what’s under the Rocks for MAY !!! 

 

Boys Howdy >><< This looks like another “Skid Chaser” of a Month Ahead …… We will be Graduating our 2^nd Class of 14 Responsible Anglers from the Newport Middle School, Mike Pettis & Dean Fleck are again hosting a VIP Club Tour of the various Newport Commercial Fishing Boats, then we have the Kids Fishing Day at Eckman lake, followed by our Annual Fund Raiser held, in conjunction with the LVH 2^nd Time Around Sale.

 

Of course there is always some surprise that pops up during the month to make things really exciting. Please don’t forget that Electric Bill needs your help with the On Going Siletz Trap Servicing Schedule.      OK, Now it’s Time to Talk Turkey about Porta- Potty’s ………….

 

In the course of our earlier CERT Breakfast Conversation, Jeannine explained to me, that a “Quality P.P.” was a very valuable part of the Entire Out-Door Recreational Experience. Suffice to say, it would contribute greatly to the civility of the entire endeavor. I think you are able to take my meaning !!!     In addition, She & Tom gave me a wonderful brochure that extolled the many virtues of their New Recreational Vehicle.

 

 Alas, the brochure did not speak to the acquisition of a Quality P.P. >><< Ergo, I turned to the trusty Internet & what I found was a most helpful Web Site, that I would like to share with you all…….

 

I think you will find the information contained on this Web Site valuable, even if you are not an RV’er >>>(www.bumperdumper.com)<<<

 

In closing, Let me leave you with this thought, “Feed a Hungry Man a Fish & He will be Fed for a Day >< Teach a Man How to Fish & if left to his own devices, He will Fish Out the Very Water You Taught Him On” !!!!!!!!    

 

Well, that’s the Top of the News as it Looks from here, Hope to See You On The Water ………………. THE HOOK
