Alan, I'm sorry to hear that Jimmy has passed. I still have my personally autographed book from him "Moon Holler Misfits" He always had a great sense of humor. I think of him a lot, being here in New Mexico. As I remember he was very fond of the Boy Scout Camp here. I often wonder what happened

Hi Don O, Toto is doing well. I'm keeping him far away from the mice with plague here. I've pulled out some of my flies to display again and I'm going to start setting up my new tying desk this weekend. However I won't be able to use it just yet. My dad comes down here to stay with me through

Hi Guys, I can't remember ever using this forum but I'm testing it out to see if this post comes through. I took a very long break from tying publicly, I stepped back from the Whting team to work on my degree. A few of you were so encouraging and supportive of me while I worked my way through

Check out your plans ahead of time. Many of the state parks are closed and have been for a while now. You can't even hike on any of the trails in town (Santa Fe). We have been breathing smoke for a little over a month now and today I could still see a lot of heavy smoke from the Las Conchas
