I hadn't seen him in awhile.
Missed visiting him in the hospital and the rehab center...yeah, I s*ck.....http://stripersandanglers.com/Forum/images/icons/icon11.png

He guilted me on the phone and reminded me that he had 2 operations and I still hadn't come to see him....yup, it worked, and went down to see him on Fri...

I'll post some of the narrative and what we did, when I get a chance...







The Highlights...
In the meantime, just know that I drove him around to a few places..
He made me drive because he said he couldn't ( I had been fishin the night before, I think the real truth was that he didn't want me stinkin up his nice clean truck....:upck:

He also sprayed me with febreze freshener the second I walked into his house....http://stripersandanglers.com/Forum/images/icons/icon9.png
(maybe I should get the hint to take a bath more often? :scared:


Had a great time though....got to meet some of the old-time surfcasters at Castaways B&T...at one time there were about 300 years of Salt Water Fishing experience among all the guys who came in there to hang out and bust balls.....:HappyWave:

Yep guilted him into coming down mainly to get the TV I gave him a 1 1/2 months ago off of my pool table.

I did spray him down with extra strength Febreze (the one they advertise on TV with the blind folded people, it did little for him)mainly because I was taking him to breakfast
The part about me not being able to drive was for the day before but I extended 1 more day so I suffered through the nauseating smells in his vehicle caused by his wet clothes and what ever else grows in there. End result my truck was saved.

A few secrets from the 300 years of experience were shared with D'S along with some pictures that adorn the shop. Today we all laughed about the foul smell that lingered in the shop after his departure.


Cowherder I am doing just fine almost back to normal thanks for asking.
