I tried to get them out so more could enjoy my birthday with me. I
turned 45 today and spent most of it puttering around the shop nursing a
couple of broken ribs and a missing finger tip. At this rate I may make 100
with "Most" of my "Parts". Glad you got them today, hoped more would. If you
check the updates they have the tiers and the flies listed, if you don't
have them drop me a note and I will forward them to you.
All in all it was a quiet birthday, daughter had a "Thing" after school
and Theresa is picking her up. Probably a quiet evening and early bed time.
Funny how as we grow older time passes faster, and aches and pains hurt
more.
Have a good one friends,
Jimi
Well, the last time I was in a swap I was whining because I was the last
(except for poor Rene across the pond) to get my feathers. But I seem to
be the first recipient of Jimi's Bench Swap flies.
And I'm not whelmed. That doesn't start to do justice to it. Even
OVERwhelmed does not express my feeling.
Folks, we've got some GREAT tyers on this list. It's impossible to place
them in any sort of order, so I'm going to describe them individually as I
pick them out of the box.......
I got about half-way through and ran out of superlatives. So I ersed the
descriptions. Let me simply repeat - we've got a FINE group of fantastic
fly tyers on this list.
Thanks to Jimi, DonO, Rene, John Roth, Deb, Joe Leavitt, Mitch,
John Roth, Dick Youll, "Pez", Mark, Soren Finne, and those whose flies
weren't identified for participating in the swap. Other people have such
great senses of proporting - I'm jealous.
And MANY thanks to Jimi for hosting this swap.
