On a dreary (have we had any other kind?) Saturday morning, we departed our carpool areas for Bill’s Fishin’ Hole in Orting.
Two handed Art with Dave
I had Bob Young, Don Schroder and Paul Dibble (a new helper) with me, Bob Birkner picked up Chuck Ballard and Randy Hieronymus, Dick Stearns and Vicki Hoagland came from Bremerton, Art Alton (new member), Scott Hagen, and Marv Young each came alone.
Two vans came from the Seattle VA with six veteran patients and three Recreational Therapists. Three other outpatients came by themselves.
We rigged the rods and tied on foam flies with no hook points to practice in the pond with 10” to 18” triploid trout.
First fish
After everyone had a chance to feel the take and spit out the fly, we moved to the pond with 2 ½ pound to 5 pound fish, the keepers!
As you know the fish have to make the choice! In the practice pond the competition causes them all to attack as quickly as the fly (food) “plops” on the surface, however, in the pond with bigger and fewer fish, they are in no hurry!
I don’t want to use a “fly pole””!!
The vets in wheelchairs and those with diminished reflexes are not certain when to set the hook or how to fight an unruly fish!
After a few losses, they get the hang of it and OH what fun!
The smiles show it all! We were very fortunate and the rain did not arrive until the last fish was landed!
The gang at Bill’s
Fifteen fish were landed, the biggest 8.5 pounds!
The big fish went home with the lucky angler to have for dinner!
Fourteen of them were taken to be smoked and will be returned to the Seattle VA for many tasty snacks before lunch or dinner!
We love automatic reels!
Respectfully,
Jim McRoberts
Salaries in the development league range wholesale jerseys china from $12,000 to $24,000 a season, paid in part by money from the NBA. Due to such modest salaries, some Idaho Stampede players share cheap football jerseys an apartment in Boise. Jermaine Blackburn and Ronell Taylor’s three bedroom apartment is a testament to lives spent on the move. The white oakley outlet walls are completely bare.

Shares of both companies saw a spike, with Netflix up almost 15% recently and Twitter surging nearly 40% before pulling back. With technology giant Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) having the most financial flexibility to make acquisitions, Apple has been rumored at times to purchase both names. Today, I’ll detail why that should not happen.Get familiar with the machine. Locate the on and off button and the two user buttons, which allow you to move into different menus.

We therefore did not experience the full impact of this initiative during the second quarter itself, but are seeing some favorable benefits beyond just the ticket savings, which by itself should equate to about $3 million on an annual basis. So far and it’s certainly cheap football jerseys early in terms of evolving usage patterns, we have noticed an increase in simulation game play as a consequence of this transition resulting in fewer e tickets issued and lower redemption costs. We, of course, don’t know yet if this trend will continue, but it is widespread and directly correlated to the timing of the rollout. We do know for sure that guests have embraced the change with an opt in rate of nearly 90% and that our guest satisfaction scores in the amusement area remained very strong.
