Retirement is "GREAT" although up coming carpal tunnel surgery next week. 150 day's a year of fishing with a hard hook set is tough on the wrist! Good memory on that cabin burn down in BC, that was way back in 1998. Sure glad I had good homeowners insurance that covered the gear loss. Let me know if your son pulls that bear tag, I use a special bait that is addictive, you'll pull them out of the U.P. With 6 grandchildren and one more on the way my wife drags me down to Appleton more then I care for. If more then a day we both take our own vehicles. Going to burn max elk points in WY this year with my buddy, not getting any younger!Hey Mike, nice to hear from you, how's retirement treating you, haven't burned any cabins down lately I hope. Still slaving away for uncle Obama. Should have a bear tag for fall for my son,that gives me one more reason to spend time at the cabin. Do you get down south anymore?
