60+ year old thread.

Afternoon folks...took a little self-induced break from TW. Just dropped by to say hello.

Hope all is well with all of you!

 

Today is the anniversary of the "shot heard round the world" April 19, 1775. The 18th was Paul Revere's midnight ride. Just like all of you military veterans, the farmers of 1775 rose to the occasion and fought for their new country to be.

 

... ^^^ ... Thanks for the reminder on that date ...

 

Morning all...heading upstate this weekend for some R&R...no tv,no phone (except cell, but we keep them off), no internet...just R&R...

 

morning all, not 60 yet. i'll be hitting 59 in a few months. feeling every bit of 60. love deer hunting and walleye fishing on lake huron and lake erie. i have not brought a new truck in the last 20 years that did not have a toyota emblem on it. i own 3 of them now. my 02 tacoma has 285k on it and still purrs like it was new. no that i have found this thread, i'll be following it closer, good day all!

 

morning all: welcome terry! need some pics of those "eyes", nothing under 10# though.
love fishing for them, but in our area the big girls (10+) are not to common.

 

ty, no problem, i'll post a pic of my 32 inch/12 1/2 lber that i have mounted in a glass coffee table. i have caught 5 master angler walleye in my years of fishing the great lakes. my wife just caught her 1st one two weeks ago, she got it on length. it was 30 1/2 and only weighed 7.9 lb.

 

Thanks Paul, Cats always say oh how bad VN was, Do not know how you boys did it. I look at our forefathers that ran out the Brits, The boys from those days are top of MY vets list, they gave us the BEST place on this earth to be born into..Each 11-11,, I for one look all the way back and say THANK YOU FOR A JOB WELL DONE.. Jim

 

Welcome, Make yourself at home.. Jim

 

Hi Rob, Are you without TW??

 

Sounds like a few days of reading, board games and puzzles. Nice and relaxing.

Welcome to the over 60 thread. Nice to have another youngster pop in for a visit. Make yourself at home.

Could not have said it better Jim. Our forefathers had gonads the size of a softball.

I cannot imagine signing the Declaration of Independence knowing that you and your family would be hunted down and either be shot or hung. They make our politicians today look like a bunch of crybaby wimps.

waddyou mean "LOOK LIKE" most of them are! not too interested in the country, only special intrest groups.

NICE "EYE". my biggest is 29 1/4", 7lb. 14 oz. my buddy has one 29", 9.7 lb. (9lb. 11 oz). this size is considered big for our area, although there are some over 10 to be caught.

 

Tom , We did our part in 1 core when we were but kids but the boys with Mr G. Washington with little food no warm shoes and a fn muzzyloader that sent the brits home with a white flag sticking out of there ass will ALWAYS be my Hero's. I would give anything to shake there hands and say thank you SIR'S for what you gave us... Jim

 

Welcome Terry. Very nice fish and COOL mount!

Well said Jim and Tom!

I had the opportunity to visit the Battle Green in Lexington, MA back in Jun 1997. It was a very moving experience and hard to put into words.

Thank you Paul for the reminder.

Hope all are well today.

Jim -- no really wasn't mad without TW. Just needed to take a break. Hard to explain. I enjoy the communication and community here. I think I'm gonna get rid of my smart phone and go back to my old Motorola Tundra. I deal with computers still in my job, just felt I was letting all the computer stuff take up too much of my time. does that make any sense?
