I wore Marvin on my hat when I went to our end of the tying season picnic for UFT. He gets a lot of laughs. I love that mouse!!! I found another mouse I didn't know I had tied by Rich Lewis from one of the fly swaps while I was cleaning off my desk so I added him to my "mouse party". I have a gigantic BMAr rat and a rabbit foot mouse from Rich Ross in the group also. I also have a couple of foam mice from Harrison Steeves and one from Chris Helm. I don't know how I got on this mouse kick but I think you might have started that also. It's a riot! I've picked up quite a few of them. My real love is dragonflies but I just haven't found too many interesting ones. Don O can you tie me a demented dragon fly???? LOL, Deb

I sold my big boat Sunday, and got to talking to the guy and his wife about fishing. He lives on the N. Platte River and invited me over to fish with him, and I offered to teach him how to flyfish. You know where that progressed. He got to see my flyroom and all the strange things in there, and got a tour of the Baits Hotel. Guess what was his favorite fly of ALL? Starvin Marvin! He begged me to tie him up one. So see, YOU'RE not so strange after all. LOL On fishing in bear country, you're right about the slower ones being invited to go along. That's why I bought my little side-kick. I don't need to outrun that bear anymore, as I can gently persuade him not to eat me. Dr. D PS Don't worry, I got 3 boats left. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Deborah Duran" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2007 7:02 AM Subject: RE: [VFB] Boating Safety Question ROTFLOL. I like it! I was attempting to clean off my desk but I had to stop and appreciate all the flies I have ... just a few from Don O :)....which really slowed down my progress. What ever caused Dons Dementia I'm thankful... my desk is a much more interesting place to sit down. My input into this since I fish a lot of saltwater is..... Just make sure your buddy is the one using the 10 ft rod. Daphne.... guess what you're getting for Christmas. Of course ....I'm kidding!!!! Alright bad joke. Chalk it up next to the one about fishing in bear country just make sure you can run faster than the guy you fish with.... same thing. I think I need to go get my coffee now. Good morning everyone.
