We are back, unpacked and working in the shop.  Dang it feels weird after being gone a month.

Soon as we get some time to unwrap the video and I get the pics from John I'll spin the story out.

Johnny,

Yep I know but with 50# of halibut, rockfish and lingcod fillets and 40# of salmon.  Plus a full freezer of large deerlike animal, we don't have room for deer.

LOL

this better happen soon.  Stringing people along like the Lamb and all of his degenerate storytellers is just wrong.    :rolleyes:  

Glad to see you guys made it back safe.  Looking forward to the story.

Going to have to wait for pics. My camera didn't get on the plane to the ridge so John took all the pics. He sent the CDs to me on Monday so I should have em today or tomorrow.

Here are a few photos from the batch I took.  I'll let Mike (the professional story teller) spin the yarn.  It was a mighty fine outing.

I got Mike to pose for a TBM cover in this next shot.  I suggested he strip down to his loin cloth for the photo op but he insisted on remaining fully clothed!

Mike,

You and Jason just take your time unwinding, getting over jetlag, etc, I'm worried about your health.  You take all the time you need before getting back into the swing of things.  I'm not a doctor, but I have spent the night at a Hilton Express.  Besides I don't have a bow on order.

Hopefully, no one took a shot at that "moose" wearing camo in the last picture.
