Apologies and Happy Belated Birthday Wishes to Bob. Sorry, with all of the excitement around here, I missed your birthday, Bob.
I hope you had a good one.
Bob(the other one)

I am a broken man...congrats to to the Yankees. Even though my Phillies came out on the losing side, it was an exciting series to watch. A big thank you to the Phillies for a great season.

Josh, maybe you should listen to the voice of wisdom. I called it, YANKEES in 6. Remember that? Am I rubbing salt in the wound? Yup, I certainly am. lol
Yankees won me $1412 at the betting booth. I bet on the series going 6 games with the Yankees winning. I can't complain. And Matsui-san winning the MVP is icing on the cake, though I was surprised that he did. But, one can't argue the numbers he put up, even as a part-timer(he didn't play much in the NL park). I thought Utley may take home that trophy. I wouldn't have complained if he had. He had some pretty good numbers. Had the Phillies won the series, I think he would have gotten the trophy.
Well, now we can get back to boating, at least until the Stanley Cup, and the Super Bowl.
Bob

Guess what ?!?!?!
Bob and I (nope, not Bob David, not Birthday Bob... by my significant other Bob whom I wuvs berry much, and we have been together for 10 yrs now..... that Bob  )
... We are 'sno-birding' to FLORIDA !!!
Soooo, we're gonna be doing a WHOLE LOTTA fishing this winter! yayyyyyyyy
Not exactly sure yet when we're gonna go, some time between `after Thanksgiving and before January 1st`...
I need to e-mail the other 2 guys from our forum here that live in Florida to get some tips, suggestions, etc on best fishing locals, etc.....
We'll be staying in my Mom & new husbands' backyard, they have a 30-ft MotorHome all set up way out back, and they live on a canal. They have a new 18-ft pontoon boat and a 16-foot alminum boat (similar I think to a jon-boat). They live 2 hours north of Tampa on the Gulf coast, in a small town called Inverness.
Bob is a fly-fisherman, i will be regular casting... I love my rebel popper lure, catch some nice 5 and 6-lb bass. He is wicked excited.
I have been sno-birding down there for 5 years so far, this is the first time Bob is going with me. I usually take the Amtrak train down, getting the sleeper room. 24 hour trip from here to there.
But this time we'll be DRIVING, ... AND ... taking our 2 cats with us! They are our 'babies'... we are super attached to them. One is a Norwegian Forest cat and one is a Maine Coon cat. 
We expect to be stopping at least 2 times, maybe 3, on the way down 95-south, at a hotel/motel. I have a really bad back, so this drive's gonna be tough on me :::sigh:::

Now that we're through the world series and can get down to some serious business like boating and fishing, we should start to consider some type of contest for next summer such as a fishing competition: for example, the biggest fish (freshwater) and the biggest fish (salt water). Or biggest fish by type: perch, small mouth, etc.
I think most everyone is into the fishing mode, so it could be interesting to see who can present the biggest fish in competition. What thinketh thou sporting fans? We could call this something like the 2010 Marathon Microcosm Midsummer Multi-Species Fishing Mania. If nothing else, it will give some of us computer-challenged folk a reason to learn how to post photos of our winning fish on the MBOG board. No photo, no bragging rights! Of course there would have to be some type of time frame limitation because otherwise OTG and Grunder and other warm-weather zone fisherman would have an advantage of several months of fishing. So what say we set up a fishing contest from May 1 to Aug. 31 or thereabouts to see who has bragging rights for biggest fish for 2010? Any takers?

Mr Chris Grunder.... I would LOVE to take you up on that offer!! Would you recommend taking the Florida Turnpike, or 27/441/98? (You're about 4 hours away from Inverness, taking into consideration stopping at Dunkin Donut's, pee-breaks, etc. And I have to check ahead for 'cat-friendly' lodging in your area, I wouldn't want to impose on Mom with cat-sitting, and she/they have 3 dogs)
Thanks!
That will give us lotsa practice for this upcoming Marathon Fishing Tournament LOL We all need to invest in tethered FLOATING/WATERPROOF digital cameras.

In response to the Vern’s fishing contest suggestion for the summer of 2010: I see that on Nov. 12th via forum post, Sir of Grunder 2nded the motion and will participate.
I will also gladly join in from the “fresh waters” of the North: hopefully a King size Musky or Mammoth Walleye or a Huge honkin’ bass from “The depths of the Fresh” will be fully supportive in this cause!.
Sir Viking, who might establish the criteria for this tourney which is referred to as “The 2010 Marathon Microcosm Midsummer Multi-Species Fishing Mania” ?
Perhaps one representative from Fresh water and one from Salt might be fair? Perhaps the Viking and the Deaddog might be fitting? (Just let’s not start voting in the regulators!!).. Just appoint them to be the criteria setters and regulators!
(Hey need a bit of a shorter label for this summer fishing derby extraviganza), Lots of “M’s” mmmmm mmmmm, I dunno... I do know that I can’t pronounce microcosm very well,).. I'll remember it better as the M&M&M&M&M's or The 2010 Viking's Challenge..
and a bag of M&M'S could be a prize!
Sure, let’s start a pole of participants. Is their other takers to participate in this 2010 summer fishing challenge?
Post an official AYE if you want to participate.

What's all this about a fishing competition? I wouldn't know one end of a fishing rod from the other! I thought boats were for lazily cruising in the sunshine, dropping anchor and cracking a cold one with some tunes playing in the background - do you mean to tell me that there are actually FISH swimming round my boat while all this is gong on?

Griffo: You don't need a fishing pole to be a fisherman. You can take a long piece of string, tie a hook to one end and tie the other end to your toe. Then while you are lazily drifting on the water with brew in one hand and the other adjusting a straw hat, you can multi-task, enjoying life above the waves while seeking to entice wildlife beneath the waves to surface. Simple proposition!

I agree with Bill....... FISHING while on the boat??? I thought being out on a boat involved Beer and Bikinis..... Maybe my husband was just telling me stories......lol..... I am thinking maybe Vern has the right idea....
I have been trying to catch up on all my reading as well as all the new pics and vids. You all have been so busy!
We never did a thing with the boat this summer, which does not surprise me. We still are working on the kitchen remodel!! In between tailgating for our kids football games (no drinking at those), going out of town for weddings and then the weekends spent tailgating at the big boy games (just did the Gators at South Carolina game)....we have not spent a lot of time on it lately. Now we have Thanksgiving coming up! Yikes... how time flies.
I hope everyone is doing great !!
Mel

Boat is staying in the water for winter storage...i might be getting a few extra days out for some cold weather fishing...who knows. Even though the river has a very fast current, my marina still puts out de-icers around the boats. I'll be winterizing later than normal this year..
