so to get your vehicle worked on, take Phil phishing.......

good on ya bud.......size limits on them fish?

They need to be 15".... We were getting mostly 14"..... During ice fishing we catch s lot of over 20" fish.... Not today though...

Sounds like a top way to spend a morning, Phil. No guessing what's for dinner at your house today!

We had fish.... But it was bluegill from the freezer...

And...
 I found the perfect Meme for Phil.

 

The term Yankee came from the Yankee clippers that were dutch ships.(john or jan- a common name from that part of the world.)
The Dutch settled a lot of the NE US as did the Swedes and Norwegians.
People from New YorK or "New Amsterdam" were called Yankees. it then became people from the north. Some southerners turned it into a derogatory term during and before the civil war.
Them and us sort of thing.
They, in turn, took the hard working southern practice o fusing a whip to make a cracking sound over the heads of cattle to drive them and started using it a derogatory term for southerners.
Rednecks were people who farmed and had sunburned necks. Now it is also a derogatory term in many people's eyes.

Well I'm a Norwegian redneck..... Not really into the whole Yankee thing... And the south isn't rising again cuz after the last few elections I'm scared the country ain't either....

Phil, about those 'splake' - are they naturally occurring or hatchery bred and stocked?

They are stocked..... They are easy to raise cheap by the hatchery..... Taste could, grow fast, and are somewhat easy to catch... (Just not today)

Well, let's see if this works...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR CHRISSSSSSSSSSSSSSS,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

 

[N F C]

At least, I think it's your birthday...my desk calendar seems to have packed itself so I'm going off my sketchy memory.

 

[N F C]

Hope you had a 'very good year' and best wishes for many more!

(And if today is not your birthday, well, it's bound to be some day or another so consider yourself birthday'd!)

 

[Pork Pie]

Thank you sooooo much Debby! Like the clips and wow, your memory is working overtime to remember through the midst of all your packing!

 

[N F C]

YAY, it IS your birthday! I haven't completely lost my mind (yet)!

Here, I made you a cake...

 

[Pork Pie]

Looks yummy - too kind

Can you imagine - DW has forgotten - I'm trying to calculate the number of bottles of gin thats gotta be worth!

 

[N F C]

Oh my, the guilt trip alone should equal several bottles worth!

Maybe she's just pretending (you know, us girls are good at faking it).

 

[Pork Pie]

I'm thinking in terms of months of supplies! Yeah, you chicks are crafty - but there's "crafty" and CRAFTY
