Peterjay 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2014 It was 14 freaking degrees and windy when I got up this AM; so much for the sunny South. This fly's for summer, which has gotta get here sooner or later. About the only consolation is that it's even colder up North. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ditz2 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2014 Nice fly there Peterjay but regardless of your statement what is the sheep's name? ......A little cold here in Middle TN which is not the north but it got to at least -15 here last night. It is supposed to stay that way for a few days too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peterjay 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2014 Yeah, OK, there was a sheep (named Bridget) but she went on the grill for Christmas dinner. I miss her, but I've still got her coat to remember her by. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you need to get a divorce from Bridget before the grill, or is there a "shelf life" for sheep weddings? Good to see you still "keeping her close" like that.
