What say, buddy-roo? One last kick at the cat?

I'm quite sure Snarf will be in (as usual). Haven't talked to him, but I know he's thinkin' it. BTW, We all look quite sexy holding up our Orcas in the photos I just got back.

Think DeProp can come out and play in his new snowsuit?

Stragety session, my garage, Friday night, bring beer. (I'll be your friend).

Time to start butterin' up the wives, buddy (again).

I'm regrettin' pulling the old "Yeah, Dear....we're done, that's it, puttin' the boat away" line.

LOOKS LIKE I LIED!!!!!!

'TIS THE SEASON TO BE WALLY!

Oh man, my wife is going to kill me!

Maybe some of the "die-hards" can help us with breaking the news. We have tried the following:

- This will be the last weekend honey, I promise. Look at the temp, it will be frozen over in next week.

- Have left a good-bye a note at 3:30am. "Gone fishing, thanks for your continous support and understanding" (Cannot use this again)

- It's the closer! this is the last trip for the season. (Responses include, yeah it's the Opener, it's this Closer, it's mid-season it never stops) Our wives do not fish but are fully conversant with the opening and closing dates for Quinte, Rice, Scugog, Cameron, North Bay etc etc.

- I have to go for Safety reasons. Mux cannot go out there alone at this time of the year.

It's Thursday, any suggestions would help!

1) "But, Honey, I'm a man! If I don't go fishing at this time of the year, what will our boys think of me? They'll think I'm a wuss!"

(This one won't work for you, as you have a daughter, who invariably, upon reaching an age where she's allowed to have an opinion, will side with your wife)

2) "I think there's something funny going on with the lower end of the motor, Honey, need to get into open water to test it to avoid costly repairs.

(Nearest open water is Quinte, as Simcoe water doesn't have the same density, surface tension and other physical properties. Hint: be REEEAAALLY technical, while at the same time being vague.)

3) "I've got a business meeting in Picton, and the trailer tires need to be rotated." "I'm taking my survival suit in case the truck breaks down and I have to walk to a gas station."

(I particularly like that one, and just might use it)

Of course, the previous (#3) will be questioned. ie. "Well, why are you bring your posse with you, then?" Response: "I'll need someone to guard the truck and boat while I go to find a gas station. If I only take one guy he may be overpowered, get bored and leave, or be scared to stay by himself."

4) I still like the note, and you can always blame one of us (ie. Mux and Snarf threatened me, I had to go!! Honest!!) This is particularly effective, however it can be dangerous as I have already planned to blame you. I'm quite sure that Snarf is blaming me. We should find out which wife is the most pissed at the moment due to other circumstances and give that guy a break this time around. The guy who gets the break this time will buy the beer on Friday night. We can take turns once ice season starts.

5) "JEEEZ, didn't you hear them out there this morning at 3:00am honking the horn and yelling???? I had to go before the neighbors called the Police. It's a nice neighborhood, you wanna be blackballed???"

ALWAYS HAVE A REBUTTAL READY. 'TIS THE SEASON TO BE WALLY!!

Honey-there has been a team meeting planned for Picton. We all have to go-bosses orders. By the way there is a very good mechanic that will look at that "stubborn starting "problem i have! If she asks why your buddies dave and pete are going say they are looking for new jobs and this is an opportunity for hiring!...Larry
