Rex just left my place about 10 minutes ago (11:15 a.m. Eastern Time)
He rolled in around 8:30 p.m. last night, we stocked the 30# GSH in the pond, and changed all the water in all the tanks on the truck. Went to dinner and it was around midnight when he hit the sack. Up at 7:30 a.m., out the door around 8:30 a.m. to see about getting some BG for Todd. Fishing was slow, we only got 10 of them, between 7" and 9". So they are on the truck on their way to WVA. Rex left his glasses at the restraunt last night, so he's stopping there on the way East. He has to swing by a place down near Dayton to pick up some fish before the guy leaves for work, then on to the deliveries. I think having to stop there first is going to add a couple of hours on to his trip today. We orig. had it mapped out so that was last on the route so he didn't have to do any backtracking.

Yeah, just got off the phone with Rex and it sounds like a busy day today for him. Sounds like he will be hitting my place later this afternoon early evening. First time getting fish from Rex, sounds like a really nice guy.
He's going to be making some additional stops at my place in the spring for Tilapia!
I'm looking forward to getting those trout in the water, and then on the table!

Rex is good pepple.
Well, I should say that 'we' feel that way. PVC piping, not so much...

Yeah, I am going to run straight home from work and paint my PVC green and throw some grass and weeds over it  I'm planning to bust his hump about it when he shows up... I'll try to snap a few photos of the trout, etc... when he shows up. I figure folks like seeing pictures on here as much as I do... I might even get one or two of Mr. PVC. lol

Well guys, how are we making out for our get-together. That seems a lot like a don't-ask-don't-tell question! As of this morning, I was thinking I'd be up tomorrow night. Now you've got me worried.  You are a twisted man, my friend! But timely with your wit!

I wish I could make it up for the festivities! One day too early. I have to work tonight and tomorrow night and have to be in court both tomorrow morning and Friday morning. I really need to stop arresting people. These court appearances are cutting into my free time and sleep...

Travis -- if you came up tomorrow night and Friday -- I'm sure you could still have some court appearances ahead of you, on a number of counts in at least two or three states. Heck, Todd could maybe even represent you if you did something on the way through WV!

Heck, Todd could maybe even represent you if you did something on the way through WV! I guarantee we could get arrested without too much effort - this is a professional crew coming together! And Travis, I'd proudly represent you pro bono, so throw caution to the wind, my friend!

Todd, are you registered in Pennsylvania?

Rex left my place about an hour ago! It was great meeting him.
He dropped off some great trout and some shiners! I had one golden which appeared to be struggling near the beach, and I needed dinner. He is on the grill as I type.
I'll post some photos later!

Great update. Did all your PVC piping make it?

Todd, are you registered in Pennsylvania?
Not licensed, but eligible, planning to get licensed, and have handled cases there before as long as I have local counsel to sponsor me, so we can get as wild as we want!

By golly, it did... He had one hell of a time staying away from it... Kind of like a moth to a flame!

Fantastic photos. Fantastic looking pond. Fantastic looking helpers. Trout are a real treat in the winter, especially for the kids.

I'm taking a break near Toledo trying to catch up on the latest threads... I saw those nasty white muskrats around rcooked's pond but figured the youngins or the neighbors might get upset if I killed them.  After reading Sunil's comment about the canoe ride, I'm glad I saved the extra bullets.....Methinks Sunil will be the one squealing tomorrow!

Rex, no worries, the canoes are in bad shape and have holes in them. It's a short canoe ride!
I'm excited! Probably just less than 24 hours now, we'll be hanging out!

As the great Johnny Cash sang:
Worried man. Worried man.
Papa is a worried man.
Worried man. Worried man. I keep getting more worried all the time. I just realized that the majority of the inside of my aerated fish hauling tank is made from PVC pipe! It will be in the back of my truck, just above the gas tank. Then, I can't get this picture out of my mind:  I sure hope we don't need the Lysol and chlordane at the Good Knight Inn. I'm just glad I was able to arrange sessions with my therapist fish counselor consultant tomorrow afternoon before I leave -- and, hopefully I'll make it back for the Saturday morning session. Oh, where is Felix Unger when I need his advice?

Oh, where is Felix Unger when I need his advice? Ken, I made one minor correctiom in red above for you. Also, you won't need the Lysol for the Knights Inn. You will however need your hiking shoes for climbing the hills in the flooring!

I think there are a couple of PVC plants on the way to Sunil's. My guess would be a slight detour was made to one of those...

Rex called a few minutes back and should be here in the next ten minutes.
I'm going to make him chug three beers before he gets into his room.

Lube him up with the first one, then make him 'Shotgun' the other two! Just make sure the PVC repellent device is "checked".
Have fun!

Sunil, before you start filling him up, have him check the O2 tanks and fish. Double check the fuel in the truck - you don't want him running out of diesel. I heard some horror stories.......
After the fish are set for the night, then start the party.
