n8ly, I knew there was something special about you. I'm a live bait fisherman also. Great minds.....

I don't know if I'll be playing with electricity around the pond again this year, but I'll be there nonetheless. Not sure yet if the wife and kids will be with me this year.


EDIT: We made the oral argument to the appeals court...other party was a no-show so we hope to stay at our property an hour away the last night.

I will not be there this year! And I hate that I can't be. But on a good note I will be starting on building my cabin that month so it's all good! I will miss it though. Last year I had a lot of fun and learned a whole lot!!!

Any new guys on the site that are thing about going you need to go. I wasn't sure either till I went! You will learn a bunch of cool stuff about your pond and fish in general if you can you need to go!! It was well worth it. I'm just saying....

RC51, If you make the conference this year, I will stop in and help you build your cabin for a day or two (or until your food runs out, whichever occurs first) this spring when I travel thru Arkansas.....If I can't fulfill my end of the bargain I will substitute some other pond boss guy to take my place. If that doesnt work out I will send you an encouraging email to help get that cabin built!

n8ly,

Your the man!! Thanks for the offer, and for offering someone else to help me!! smile We will be on a tight schedule with my Dad coming in from AZ so it's going to be all work and no play for a while! I remember Brettski saying how hard it was to keep pushing forward when you just wanted to stop and veg out!! So with that said I have been in the gym for the last 3 weeks and trying to get in shape for this event!! I don't want to be so sore every night that I can't move to hoist my brewski at the end of the day!!! smile

How far is it from the Springfield airport to Big Cedar? The flights stink from Florida to Branson...

Sue, it was about 1-1.5 hours via speeding car if I recall correctly.

It was a not so pleasant return drive early Sunday morning.

I'm definately not leaving too early on Sunday! An afternoon flight is ideal after a late night at the Buzzards Lounge!!

RC when B'ski was just starting his place (pre-lake and way before his house) I told him the most important key to success was going to be "take time to enjoy the journey". It can't be all work. You have to make time to enjoy life along the way. Ask him now if that was good advice.

It's a tough rule to follow when you're an absentee owner; every minute there is valuable for progress. That being said, the moments of relaxation and reflection will occur without notice and planning. Sometimes it's right in the middle of a bust-ass project when you see something land onto the pond's surface and just have to stop and grab the binoc's, only to witness the appearance of a bird (or any other creature) that you have never seen before. Or, my favorite, first daylight with a cup of coffee on the dock, communing with nature as you sit and think about what you plan to get accomplished today.

Since JHAP isn't going to be in attendance because of the IRS, who is going to tend to the skunks?

Bski
I look forward to those moments with my Dad!! Trust me we will take a few breaks! smile I can't wait to be out at the land long enough day after day to really see what goes on out there and catch some of those moments like you said. Eric I will take time to pause and relax. Heck if I know my dad he will more than likely out work me! This will more than likely be the last major project I get to do with my dad so I will relish every minute of it for sure. Once we get started I will take as many pictures as I can and start a cabin post. I can't wait! I am getting excited. Bski what you said above was really awesome! I don't think you realize how heart felt that small post was I can tell you love nature and understand what and how mother Earth works and it's many blessings!! Thanks,

Hey it wasn't me that petted the skunk (and no Brettski, that is not a euphemism).

Yep, no conference for me this year.

I highly encourage anyone that has not attended a conference to go. This is a very fun event in which some learning actually occurs.

I have training the week before and the first couple days of the conference and I am going to the beach for spring break with my in-laws the weekend of and week after the conference. So... No conference for me.

Plus, I am saving so I can actually buy land for a pond of my own... As much as it is fun, playing around with ponds owned by other people just isn't the same as calling it your own.

Everyone going, I surely hope you all have a great time. My money is on a sleeper team winning the bass fishing tournament!

Wow, I almost forgot about skunk herding - guess I did spend some time at the Buzzard Lounge after all. I felt it my humanitarian duty to keep an eye on JHAP -as I recall he was challenging any waitress unfortunate enough to wander by to sturgeon wrasslin in the bay! Thankfully Ricki is a patient woman.

Wow, TJ, get your facts straight:

1. The skunks were at the pool side bar.

2. The buzzard lounge was that bar that was slightly down the road and that had the rock floor. I can't find any photographic proof that you were at the Buzzard Lounge but I'm sure someone else can.

3. I don't think I ever even saw a waitress, every time I needed an attitude adjustment I had to go find a beverage myself. Heck one evening I was hanging out with Sunil at the Buzzard Lounge and he went in search of an adult beverage... I didn't see him again until the next day.


Ricki IS a patient woman so you got that fact right.

Pffft....details - schmetails. There was Jhap, there were skunks, there was sturgeon wrasslin'. The rest isn't important in the grand scheme of things.
