EdD5 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2009 I'm originally from Philadelphia, but have been living in Ireland for two years now. I'm new to this hair and feathers stuff, but bought a rod and reel and even got some fly tying gear as a present. All I've done so far is some reading and video watching, but I plan to practice casting over the winter, maybe try some tying, and scout some area waters. Come spring I'd like to actually get my feet (and line) wet. So I'm ignorant but excited. Nice to be here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EdD5 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2009 Thanks, fellas. Ridley, anytime. So where in Rome are we meeting? Cheese steaks, hoagies, Tasty Cakes, pretzels and "good" pizza... you wouldn't believe how precious they become when they're not on every block. My arteries may be singing, but my soul weeps. Cheers, guys. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ridleyffo 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2009 cheesesteaks, hoagies and pretzels wont post too well, but tastycakes certainly would. You other guys don't know what you are missing with from the Tasty Baking Company. Never found a snack cake anywhere that was better. And the variety of baked goods in mind boggling! At least there should be as many pubs in Ireland as there are on nearly every other block in Philly. No wonder I had such a misspent youth. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Ridley, as excited as you sounded, I figured you were hand delivering with the Lear. :-) Cheers, Futzer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
