Subject: [VFB] Fly-tying is so
relaxing...
To make a short story
short...
An hour ago: I sat tying for the Mayfly
Swap, went to the fridge to have a glas of water... and forgot the hackle
pliers over there. I went back to the table and sat down tying for a
while again... this time with my leg over the other. Then I needed the hackle
pliers again but they were gone. "Aaaah! They're over by the
fridge."
My foot had fallen asleep. When I took the
first step a series of sounds shook the kitchen: "SCRACK!!", when I put the
weight on my foot... "BONK!!", when I hit the floor... and "AAAAAAARGHH!!!!!",
when I started to feel the pain.
This is when you reach the true fly-tying
relaxation... when the painkillers have kicked in.
(And Rodney... I don't want to hear
anything about not putting in effort when you get my flies. I'm going to tie
tomorrow, even if Teresa has to carry me to the table.)
