    Time to Re-string

    I'm working my way past a series of medical hurdles and hope to get back to business in a few weeks. I see the water level today is around 13' and that's 6' lower than the last time we got out. We miss the experience of Savanna and trying to pattern that ever-changing section of river. Breakfast at Crumbles Cafe, a beer at Greens Tap, a stop at the BP ... dinner at - ?? 34 miles of water, 47 gallons of gas and some favorite holes to check... it's what we love.

    Hope you get out there soon. I can't imagine not being able to go when I wanted. Good luck.

    I remember meeting you, Sarge .... but, to be honest - I meet a lot of people for a second time. My wife is great at remembering people and faces - it's a blessing that I did not receive. I was much better, in my younger days when I was on the job ... but, time has not helped in this area. I would be happy to meet those men (and you) again and wet a line... maybe have a beer, too. That was a fun event at Shelbyville - thanks again for putting it together.

    I enjoyed meeting everyone; but it was a ton of work. I’d put together another, but only with dedicated volunteers. Mike made the second rally a lot easier since he was the Lake Sgt on Springfield.

    Probably not Steve or he wouldn't be wanting to meet me again. Once is usually enough for most people.

    I actually remember when you guys met. We were standing in the parking lot of the hotel next to Robert’s truck having a beer.
