[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY

[Jimmy D. Moore]

RICK - Thumb is well enough to resume Quote duties.  Thanks to you for all the great Curtis Creek Quotes, while I was out.  I sincerely appreciate your help.  Would you like to do it again on March 13-19?  I'm taking my wife, son, daughter-in-law and our twin grandsons to Cimarron, N. Mexico for a week of brown, cutt and rainbow fishing.  The boys are only 4, so it's gonna be a HOOT !

Thanks again,

JIMMY

" You know how to check fer thin ice, boy?" Rancid would ask me.  "Wall, what you do is stick one foot way out ahead of you and stomp the ice real hard and listen fer it to make a crackin' sound.  Thar now, did you hear how the ice cracked when Ah stomped it?  Thet means it's too thin to hold a man's weight.  Now pull me up out of hyar and we'll run back to shore and see if we kin built a fahr b'fore Ah freezes to death."
