My copy was waiting in my PO BOX this morning. It might have been there a couple of days, since I don't visit the post office very often.
I'm very displeased with the Expo insert being in there. I've been trying not to go to the Expo. I might have mentioned to my wife I wanted to take the family once or twice. Having that insert really is screwing up my plans of not attending. Can't you tell I'm in turmoil? I think it would be a fun trip for us, plus I like to visit different/unique venues -- makes for a good "getaway" from the hustle and bustle of sales on the road. Price is good and we could drive up from Texas for a little road trip.

There are tons of great things to do around Big Cedar Lodge. Far more things than could be visited in a month of vacation!
Wait till your kids see all the skunks walking amongst the Buzzard Lounge attendees....all odor free and VERY cool! There was even an albino version...all are wild but disinterested in the people.

The article by Slipke on Cason's (Cheyenne) pond is awesome.
ewests article on smallies has me recharged to get those rock piles into my pond (which I'd been procrastinating on for about 4 years).
catmandoo's recipe article is top notch.
When catmandoo, Todd, and Rex were at my pond, cat gave me a hunk of deer pastrami to take home. I said "I should see if Todd or Rex wants to take some home also." Cat said that Todd would be getting more as they see each other pretty often. So I said "I'll see if Rex wants some." Somehow, I forgot to ask Rex if he wanted some.
I'd been eating on the hunk of deer pastrami for a few days, and I told my wife that it was homemade pastrami. I kept noticing the hunk getting smaller when I wasn't around. Finally, I asked my wife if she had been eating it as I finished off the last chunk. She said "yes."
I told her I was surprised she was eating/enjoying it 'as it was venison. She got pretty quiet. She didnt' know it was deer meat, and I guess I never mentioned it.
It is some of the best stuff I have ever, ever had!

Got mine today.. Cason story is awesome.. Also that cricket holder in the bream article is the cats a** I need one of those. I will be looking those up tonight after hunting. Anyone know a name or brand on those.

Rex, When we gathered, I brought three large pieces of pastrami, plus the jellied pigs knuckles. I figured that I'd have 90% of the pigs knuckle for breakfast. I figured there would be a pound of pastrami for you and for Sunil. I figured Todd would get the Turdy Point Buck when he visited Lynda and me to thin our herd. (By the way, those crazies singing the song are my Wisconsin/UP cousins.) Todd will get more pastrami as partial payment for Esquire services -- so you are the only one left out. I'll make sure you get some pastrami, or something even better, when we all meet at the convention. Ken P.S. If you guys think I'm crazy, it was the folks like those singing Turdy Point Buck who warped me. Unless you are related to them, and you've wintered over in the UP or on the shores of Lake Superior for at least 20 seasons, it might be difficult to understand that people with accents and brains like this really exist in North America.

Ken, not only the Turdy Point Buck, but listening to the radio station that has all the hunting camp reports as well. Rex, I'll bet that if you prodded those skunks enough you'd find out that they aren't odorless....

Scott, while arranging power supplies and other items for the outdoor activities of the conference, I had the opportunity to work with the grounds superintedant. I asked if anyone had ever been sprayed and he said only once since the opened.
Seems an intern tried to pull a skunk out of a dumpster thinking they were all "de-scented". He found out quickly they weren't.
IIRC, Jhap petted them a couple times. The skunks were very adept at avoiding feet, even in the crowded areas and never once did a tail even twitch like it was being raised. It was very surreal to say the least.

Rex, I believe it. They only use the spray as a defensive mechanism, and it's a good one! As long as they are happy, they won't be stinky. I'd feed them all they want if they keep the stink to themselves. That's got to be pretty wild, having the critters at your feet. I guess I'll find out in April.

bbjr, speaking as one of the pastrami taste testers...you can NOT imagine how good the Pastrami was!!! VERY moist, tender and flavorful...better than the best deli meat IMHO! You should be very jealous!
I was going to comment on this yesterday, but I decided to take the high road and bite my tongue. And then this morning, I read how Sunil forgot to give you part of the pastrami to take home...I just smiled and pondered how karma took care of the situation for me

It was very surreal to say the least. Not this city boy. That was either Randy or Ken. But I agree with you the moment was surreal. I spoke with one of the employees about the skunks and was told that so far they had never had a guest sprayed. I decided not to push my luck.

I had no 'comfort' with those skunks around.
Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:"
"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

You're missing one of the best I've seen in quite a while.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

I haven't gotten mine yet either but it sounds like it's a good one. Does it come with a sample of that pastrami?
If you're too scared to throw that bait where the fish are, why did you tie it on?

The good news: Mine arrived yesterday.
The bad news: I've already read all of it.
The worst news: Now I have to wait two months for the next issue.
GREAT, GREAT, GREAT articles it it.
I especially liked the on learning to read an algae bloom.

Hey Bob (and others) - I gotta call yesterday from a really nice lady (can't remember the name right now but it wasn't Gayle) to check in with me and she promised to send another copy to me right away. Great service! So, don't worry - I'm not mad at y'all. You put out a great magazine but you don't run the US Postal service.
