aroostookbasser 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2010 I'm Back!!!!!! ...well working on it!! Had to get back here or go nuts........I truly missed this place. Unlike some folks I know here at home.

It has been a long road and I still have a alot of therapy yet ahead. Will ........get better soon too buddy!! Fishing season is on!!! Maine opened up almost two weeks early...........thanks to Gov. Baldacci!! It's 55 to 60 degrees here...summer is on!!! I am staying out of the swaps ...accept for the Mystery boxes...for a little while yet. Still having trouble getting comfortable at the bench. THANK ALL OF YOU.......God Bless Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
patrick carroll 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2010 good having you back, brent. hope you and will are able to get back to good health. not sure what is happening with the 'mystery boxes", news and updates have been scarce!! mother nature threw a little scare into this neck of the woods last sunday.a 7.2 earthquake can sure get one's attention.my wife and I happened to be on the highhway , and didn't feel a thing!!! most people said it seemed to rock and roll for a good 45 seconds or so , that will cause the tummy to swirl !! it was centered about 100 miles from here, which really isn't very far.] have a good one pat carroll Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

patrick carroll 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2010 had a message from AFtier today, "mystery box 3" is making its way across the country, heading for missouri!! c.teeter will get his first chance to check out a nice selection of flies. I would venture to say, he will be pleasantly surprised!! Planted a few tomatoes last weekend, so that means spring is here!!
