Congratz, dude! Handsome boy, for sure. Did you name him "Little Toad"?

Dude, Google the word "smarmy", since you're such a Googlin' sonuvagun... Aw, heck, I'll save ya the trouble... smarmy - A certain attitude often accompanied by a squinty look and a superior smile that makes you instantly hate a person.

Doesn't matter how big or how great your unit is, you still gotta know which buttons to push...

That looks pretty sweet, Chris; kinda cool idea, just switch tips to make it a 4wt. You could also check with CDone here on the forum. I see he's got a very cool custom-built 2wt for sale ($75) in the Trading Post section. I'd consider that if I was looking for a small creek rig. I own a 2wt & a 3wt, & find they're kinda redundant; I usually opt for the 2wt.

Hope it was epic! Happy Birthday, Ryan!

So, we won, right??? I threw my remote through the TV with 24 seconds left in the 3rd period...

Brilliant! Amazing work, sir; absolutely incredible!

That boy's got talent, for sure; some excellent work. Personally, I prefer the trout 'art' in Taco's signature, especially the one on the far right; tastes WAY better!

PFFFTT! You think that's intimidating??? Try fishing with Tungsten sometime; he makes Freschi look like a rookie! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (That oughtta be good for another float with Mike... )

WOW!!! That's what pyrography is supposed to look like??? Sure is an entirely different ballgame when an artist does it. Incredible stuff; I love the bear- must have taken a few hours, I bet... To say that my woodburnings inspired this...I'm flattered. But, it's kinda like saying Michelangelo was inspired to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel when he saw a Paint-By-Numbers done by a 7-year old! Oh, well, I'll just bask in the glory of taking credit for unleashing your talent... Besides pyrography, do you have other artistic talents to share? Let us see what else you do... Great work; you should be very proud!

Are ya kiddin'? Love Princess Bride! One of my faves to watch with my daughter...

I use an El Cheapo soldering type burner that I've had for over 15 years for most of my work; I also have a second similar one that burns a little hotter(neither has any adjustment). I use the hotter one for shading in larger areas quickly, and use the angled chisel tip 99.9% of the time.

Good things in small packages...

"throw rocks in Taco or Bhurt's pools." Is this is euphemism for something dirty??? Perv!!!

Neither??? Or both??? I dunno. I stole it from BBT's sig, which he stole from someone else's post. Pretty sure it doesn't mean what the original user thought it meant. I just used it for the helluvit; attach any definition you wish to it...

Amen to that, Ray; absolutely a true "good guy". Seemed kinda redundant that Paul was doing an ethics course; plenty of folks in this city could use some ethics training- he ain't one of 'em.

I always figured you for trouble, dude, and this statement just rectorates it for me!

And you are the Admenstruator? Classy! Kinda reminds me of an episode of 'Arrested Development'. They had found some pictures of what they all thought was the Iraqi desert; eventually, the family lawyer (played by Henry Winkler) looked at the pic & identified the subject correctly:"Those are balls..."

Thanks, Mom... I actually have a lanyard; I use it when I'm fishin'. Figured it was pretty safe in a buttoned-up pocket. Figured wrong...

I like to believe my camera & I are best known for shots like this... ...and this... ...but, we all know that's not true! LOL Here's a celebratory flower... ...and one more... AHHHH! I feel better now!

My lost camera is lost no more! A gigantic THANK YOU to a gentleman named Paul Morrell. He was working at the Healing waters booth at the expo with FFC's resident ex-army hippie, Flyfishfairwx. BTW, Ray, Paul spoke very highly of you; how much are ya paying him? Here's the story of how he found my camera: Paul sat in the chair outside the little wrangler's room (where I was fairly certain I'd lost my cam) & pulled his cellphone out of his right side coat pocket to make a call. His left hand was by his side & felt a camera in the chair. He thought, "Oh, I dropped my camera..." & slipped it into his coat pocket without even looking at it. Later, at the booth, he pulled it out to take a few pics & had a 'WTF' moment..."This ain't my camera!" Turns out he had left his camera at home that morning, and had picked mine up from the chair. Lucky for me. Being a smart fella, he figured FFC would be a good place to check for the idjit who lost his camera. He was right; he joined the forum & sent me a message. All that was left to do was find a time to get together. I would have been happy to drive across the city to get my cam back; turns out I didn't have to. Paul phoned me yesterday evening ; he was in my end of town. Fittingly, he was doing a course on ethics. Gave him my address & a short time later I was shaking his hand at my front door & had my camera back. We had a nice sit-down, swapped some fish stories & made plans to hit the Bow together. Couldn't talk him into accepting a monetary reward, but he's got a gift coming his way; I'm working on a pyrography (woodburning) project for him. Least I can do, I figure. Moral of the story: there's still decent people out there. To any of you who know Paul Morrell: next time you see him, shake his hand & thank him for being a decent human being. Glad to be able to share a story with a happy ending. Thanks a ton, Paul!

And you are one of the moderators? Funny! BTW, this is how I will be starting any posts that are directed toward you in the future, BBT: "And you are one of the moderators?"

Yeah, folks, I certainly wouldn't have held nearly as much hope of getting it back if I'd lost it elsewhere. Don't believe the media; there are still some good, decent people out there!

Thanks, Mike. I used a Photo Effects app on facebook...
