Maybe that's what's happening to the list....aging taking a toll. Seems
I've gotten so much gimpier that I haven't even had my kayak out this
year. Made a couple of fly fishing trips,but just fished off the dock
and caught a few sunnies and crappie on the smallish side. I haven't
had to replenish my supply of flies because I haven't lost any. I still
tie for a few swaps and when I want to try something I've seen or heard
about, but that doesn't keep me from opening my mail and quickly going
to the VFB incoming box.
So are we all getting to old to participate? Hate to think so because
my doc told me the other day "you're still a young man".(Silly doc!!)
Not that I ever feel very/*frisky */for sure, but it's sad that I have
so little input for the list. I certainly do enjoy having the VFB list
to look forward to every day. Like Joyce, I'm ready to offer up a
prayer for those who mention problems or friends with difficulties.
I know very few folks on here but feel like I've made some great
acquaintances who would be close friends if we had the opportunity to meet.
Hope we can keep the list active for many more years.
I'm not the great "experimenter" that DonO is, but I've been enjoying
cutting out foam popper bodies and shaping them with my homemade dremel
lathe set up. Not gonna go into full-fledged commercial production or
anything like that. I can make popper bodies in several sizes though if
anyone is interested. If I have the foam flip flops of the color you
want I can send you a _*few*_ to examine/try out. I can make
1/8",5/32"3/16",7/32"1/4",5/16",3/8" & 1/2" diameter bodies that are a
bit smaller when turned down and will be about the length of the
thickness of a flip-flop. I have glued some together and made longer
bodies, but haven't finished any flip-flop flies lately. This summer
weather has me doing very little other than thinking about doing "stuff".
