I think you are so right. Since I have had my medical problems I really don't
feel like doing any tying or even posting cause I have nothing to say. Maybe I
should push myself a bit.
I have a rod to get finished for a list member that was ordered almost a year
ago. I just can't find the energy to work in it. It is just about finished but
I just can't seem to get to it.When I get one of these spells, I am not good to
do anything for several weeks. I had one a few weeks ago.
Just like your WRD's, It would only take me a few minuets to get them tied but
I just keep forgetting about it. When I get them sent to you, I will trade you
for a popper.
Tony

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 veryfrisky 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".
