Move went fine. The new server is much faster. Which is good!

I'm planning on moving to a new server within the next 2 to 3 weeks. Just a little friendly warning as there might be a few hours of odd behavior when the process starts. I will try to have it done at night or weekend.

Yesterday at the Natural Resources Commission meeting in Lansing, science prevailed thanks to many, many persons who took the time to write in, and especially those who showed up to speak before the Commission on Commissioner Walters’ amendment to close bass fishing on the Inland Waterway and Black Lake from May 1 until the third Saturday in June.

I'm going to be there as long as VinceR gets there no matter what. The weather people have never been on the money for these things so I hope most of you feel the same. I'd like to minimize the need for last minutes changes Saturday morning but I'll make them and everyone will get out somehow as they always have.

I won't say go in an actual thunderstorm but we may be done and gone before any storms hit from the forecast even if they are right. Worse comes to worse there are places to fish out of the weather almost always on this big, beautiful lake so we'll work it out.

Plus, we'll have food and each other for company! I can't wait to get on the big lake again. The fishing reports have been nothing short of astounding so far this year and I've already seen bunches of pictures of giant LSC toads! Keep me updated and make sure you keep helping me with the food organizing. That's a big help! Thanks and SEE YOU THERE!

How old is he? You don't have to sign him up especially if he is 13 or younger. Thanks!

A few more changes to the non-boaters list and we are down to just one person (me) needing a boater. Since we have 4 people who say they can take 2 non-boaters I'm not worried about that as long as everyone shows up. Keep your fingers crossed that the weather people are wrong or they change their forecast to a good one for Saturday.

Looks like plans changed and I can make it after all. I'll be a boater but I will be bringing my friend from Germany who is in town. He should probably be a shoe in for greatest distance traveled.

Updated the lists again. Lost a boater. Working on another boater in unsure status right now.

Guys, sorry about this but I'm going to have to back out, though it looks like you have non-boaters that need rides anyway.  The wife has to work during the day so I have to take my daughter to her horse show.  I'm really sad to miss this one. :(

djkimmel

Thanks for all the updates. I have things updated (in a couple minutes anyways). I do have a couple nonboaters thinking about fishing and possibly 1 more boater unconfirmed yet.

I told him I could probably get him in as long as he doesn't mind being a 3rd wheel in a boat. I'm worried about everyone showing up for Saturday. I told him I would probably not know exact arrangements until Saturday morning but I didn't mean to discourage him. I'm trying to get one more boater to come and join us if I can.
