Bye Bye Poorboy, It was Nice Knowing You...

[Cheetam]

Guys and Gals of GLBass.com...

I don't know if everyone knows this or not, but PB is getting married in a little less than a month (Aug. 18 to be exact).  As a part of his "fairwell to life as you know it" party, we are thinking about having a low-key, fun fishing event the morning of Aug. 12 (lake tbd at this point).  We are thinking about meeting up around 8am and fishing for 4 or five hours (off the lake by noon, maybe 1pm) before packing it up, cleaning up, and heading out for Phase II of the operation. 

Who on the board would be interested in meeting up and bidding fairwell to PB while enjoying some time on the water at the same time?

Also, if anyone has some ideas on how to run this event, I'd like to hear them.  I personally would like to have some form or element of competition (whether it be a low-cost tourney, biggest junkfish tourney, etc.).  Any thoughts from the Peanut Gallery?

Dan...can I post this on the Calendar?

Yeah - post away! You can use the Link to Calendar button to do so right from this thread.

This is a momentous occasion. I may be able to make it on 8/12.

Do you think PB will have a giant fishing blowout yard sale the weekend of Aug 26& 27. Bet we could get some real good deals.

[fiker]

Yes, it won't take long for his new wife to wonder why he "needs" so many rods and reels.  Let alone the tackle.
After all..... "how many does it take to catch just one little fish".

Yep, .... I see a giant garage sale on the horizon.....

[McCarter]

Well isnt that nice.  As if i wasnt terrified enough already you clowns have to bring up the fishing gear situation.  I didnt even think of that.  This whole marriage thing is starting to sound a little suspicious.  Perhaps i should have given it a little more thought.

When i think of what i spent on the ring, man....that money could have bought some nice new shimano reels and plenty of lucky crafts.  Plus i would have still had money left over for Hooters.  And i probably could have even left a tip.  Maybe. 

Truth be told, she is awesome.  She lets me fish all i want ( for now ) and i have no complaints.  As long as i keep the grass cut and keep up on the home repairs, take the dogs outside when its my turn, wash the dishes, do the laundry, take her out, rub her back, rub her feet, rub her bum, wash her car, get the mail, take out the trash, paint the fence, wax on wax off, buy her gifts, be nice to her older brother who is a total toolshed, spend time with her family, make her dinner, eat at all the places she likes to eat, rent all the movies she likes to rent, dont watch Rambo when she is home, learn to like shows like survivor, real world, hells kitchen, general hospital, gilmore girls, golden girls, put up with her love of eighties foo foo music like reo speedwagon, journey, duran duran, poison, cheap trick, and that weird chick who sang karma chameleon, and give her my paycheck every week......she lets me do pretty much whatever i want.

Life is good!  Now bring on the bachelor party!

Unfortunatly I will not be able to attend the fishing event, I have a FOM tournament that day. But the after party will be another story. I will be able to attend that.

[Langer]

Its not that bad, I have been married almost a year, and I too get to go fishing whenever I want, and I didnt have to get rid of anything, well excpet that comfy lazyboy from college......  She even let me get a boat  hahahah.  Congrats man, I would attend but the wife is dragging me to a wedding in the UP, but honestly I get to go fishing when ever I want....

Thanks Dan...now if I can only find the Link to Calendar button

i should be able to make the morning fish.. not sure about the after event..  Kent sounds good to me..   that way PB's boat won't take on too much water.. any lake is fine..    can't be big water since Kev my running buddy won't be there..

[bshaner]

I'm in.  I have only one request.  PB must make his way into the water (not including the boat) at some point in the day.

I dont know about phase II.  I am allowed to fish whenever I want, but I dont know about "fishing" whenever I want.  Maybe I'll just tell her it's a benefit for underpriveledged kangaroos in Australia or something.  (j/k phase II is a go as long as Cheetam is buying)

Dont worry about him being in the water. If he takes his boat, he will be wet

I've been married 34 years this October.  Like any partnership, it's a compromise.  But,  that's ok.  I wouldn't trade my wife and kids for anything.   
But, my advice is this:   in the first 6 months of marriage, whoever does a job first gets stuck with it for life.  (IE taking out the garbage, or making the bed)

[Cheetam]

Ok Fellers...Kent Lake, West Launch this Saturday (Aug. 12) 8am til whenever (probably 2ish I'm guessing).  We can decide on format when we get there....

[bshaner]

How many non boaters do we have coming?  The woman wants to spend the day on the lake with the fellas.  Would that break some kind of protocol for the day?  Anyone have an extra Hooters shirt she can wear?

Just tell me we have 4 boaters and 4 non boaters.

[dartag]

looks like i can make it.  although i have to be out of there around noon.
tell the women folk there is a HUGE arts /crafts fair in down town milford.    kind of a mini ann arbor art fair.  keep the entry fee low.  the wife will be spending a bundle in milford. 
aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh  married life..

[fishon1219]

I will be in the FOM tourny on cass in the morning, but I plan on dropping off the boat at home and heading out for the after tournament festivites. Somebody please call me saturday afternoon and let me know were you are going to be. I will be right with the lord after fishing the event so I will need to get myself back on the dark side for a little bit.

[Cheetam]

To date (as far as I can tell):

Boaters= PB, Maize, Dartag, Shaner and possibly Fiker (could go either way)
Non-Bs= Me, and ??

[bshaner]

Sounds like we could just find a pontoon and umm... fish... sorta... all day...

[dartag]
