Well, I was born and raised in Calgary, so do I still count as a "local Boy"?

 

We are going to have a BLAST together, and we have a very Experienced team so we should do well.

okay, so let me get this straight, my being on the team has nothing to do with my ability to scare off every fish in a 5 mile radius, but more to do with my ability to cook?

 

 

......hmmm, guess I'm okay with that

The other thing they didn't tell you is that it's your job to teach Rob how to stay in the boat.
