Thank you to everybody who sent Ty a birthday greeting.  He got a kick outta them for sure.  Some of you have seen pic's of Ty for the past few years, and some of you have actually met him -- so you can see how fast he's growing.  His fishing has really improved, especially this past season.  We're proud of him!
Wallyboss, regarding your "dare":  you have absolutely, positively gotta be kidding. 

 {insert clucking chicken sounds here}   (Unless I can use Crayola washable markers...then I'd go for it!) 
 
Thx again everyone!

(WIG!  Great to hear from you.  Hope all is well & you're catching fish and leaving the muskrats alone.)
