BassMaster

_{It's the BassMaster, believe it or not.  I opened up this 8 page masterpiece in the works, and couldn't put it down.  Best of luck to you, Jason.  Maria will take good care of you as she is very fond of fiends...as am I.}

As in WTF is the BM?

I knew if I opened the door, someone would jump right in.......Bill, you da man !!

Holy crappola, who'd a thunk that the BassMaster moniker would cause such a commosh? I was going to go with Ocho-cinco, but that was already taken, and then given back, I think. I have a good mind to start a Change BassMaster's Name thread. Actually, I don't have a good mind so that won't happen. This TR has gotten smacked, jacked and hacked by a bunch of "Fiends Gone Wild".....and I'm diggin' it. I'm almost ready to change my name to "Where's The Fish". That should start a whole new posting frenzy of planetary proportions.

Good job BM, keep it up.

Lots of stuff to weigh in on.

Thanks, Lou. I think fiends are getting freaked by the BM moniker. I'm thinking of changing to BassSlayer. What says you?

Oh, TCD, did I happen to mention that this was an excellent TR. Yeah, just did. Thanks for sharing.

Now, I must talk about Josie. I love her. Some time last year we needed Benadryl and she gave me directions to the Walgreens near the fort. My son and I ate breakfast there at TE and I talked to her for about a half hour, about all kinds of stuff, especially how long she had worked there and the changes and the people; great stories. I ran into her this past July trip and said hi. I thanked her again for those directions to Walgreens that she gave last year. She didn't remember my name, but definitely the stash.

Thank goodness Genia didn't mention BM. I'm thinking maybe BassSlayer. How des that work for ya?

You tell 'em, Dave. We should have a grand gathering of fiends at the main lobby and offer a grand mooning during high traffic check-in time. Heck, I'd even put a pair of Snarky tatoos on my butt cheeks to make sure that they knew who they was messin' with. You guys got me pumped now.

Oh, yeah, check it out. I AM A FORT FIEND, so don't you dare call me JR, anymore.

Dat's right. I am a double-naught fiend, fer sure.

Thanks, Lou. Being ignored by you is an honor and a privilege and I will always cherish your non-answer. :rofl3:

BTW - I am at 99 posts and ready to be crowned a double-naught fiend. Sweet.

That's the plan. Those last days of the year are expensive. Then the price drops in half right after new years day.

Thanks, Carol. Persistence pays off.

Everybody's still in school till 12/21

This is what we really want: December 28 - January 6

Damn, there ain't nuthin' but cabins left between Turkey Day and mid-January.

Holy crappola, did I start this thread? I thought it got deleted because I was such a newbie at the time and I hadn't learned much about how to navigate these waters. I still don't know much. In fact, I just found the "My Content" button this evening. After 6 months of thinking I was being ignored, I come to find out I was being ignorant. Thank you all so much for the help, and the "Shiners", and the jabs. I am SO at home here.

And skeeters, don't fergit the skeeters....them was bitin' purty good, too.

I think if he bungee-corded the trailer passengers, they would be OK....NOT. If that ain't a redneck tow wagon, I don't know what is. I'm thinking it was for the mother-in-law. Oh, yeah. That's the ticket.

Question: Does anyone know if they fixed the fish feeder in the pond by the bike barn? When we were there in July it was broken. There was nothing biting in the pond except turtles.

I'm thinking that may be one of the best ways to welcome in the new year; building a portfolio of pics for a brand new TR. Yep, "Let's do this thing".

I'll remind you all again; and if you ain't whistlin' or hummin' this tune for the next several days, you don't have a pulse or you haven't had a healthy BM in at least a week (and I don't mean BassMaster).

PLENTY MORE FORT TRIPS, HEADIN' OUR WAY,

ZIP A DEE DOO DAH, ZIP A DEE AY

Thanks for the link, Gary. There's a whole lotta cookin' going on in that club.

Good food, good beer, good fishin', good friends (with a silent 'r'), good memories.

Plenty more fort trips headin' our way,

Zip a dee do dah, zip a dee ay

I'm all in. "Here come the judge."

Hey, lay off the Casio. That's a rocket scientist's watch, standard equipment for us Dilbert types. I know, you are just jealous of all the camo I was sporting....hat, shorts, shirt, glasses, sun-reddened face and a poop-eatin' grin...I coulda been on the set with the 4077th and fit right in......boo yah !!

2nd and backing up a few pics, I swear to you that when I first saw the B&W of RC, Gilligan's Island came to mind. Then when I read your later post, Twilight Zone came to mind. If we keep drinking Magic Hat #9 together, you may start talking rocket science in your TR's.....dude, that's crazy talk......I think I need another beer....I hear a HEX calling me.

MD, first a question about these fishing shots: Does camo make my butt look big?
