Good Morning Bass World,

Rickoos · February 21, 2005, 10:29:33 AM

It's been a while since they would let me come home and visit, but I'm back for a few days! Sure have missed you guys! Once you get use to chating with friends all over the country about your favorite thing of bass fishing and then all of a sudden you can't chat no more, it leaves an empty feeling inside of you! I hope to have a few more days here at the office before leaving again! Just wanting to say hi and hope everyone is doing great! Seems that we have grown a bunch since I was away.....hope to get to chat with everyone this week!

even Ranger & my ole buddy from Maryland,,, hey cuz, are you still coming...

Ricky

Hey stranger...I bet you have been going through major withdrawals! Glad to see ya back for a few days.

Mike Noble · February 21, 2005, 11:12:42 AM

Its good to see you back on the board. It was great to see you and Merila on Saturday...and very surprising. Sorry I couldn't hang around and visit more....but sometimes there are priorities.

I hope you get to stay home more...they need to stop all that offshore stuff.

Welcome back if even for just a short visit Rickoos and we sure did miss ya around here and ol Dundee still thinks he can see a trophy in his future

DAWG · February 21, 2005, 04:49:08 PM

Welcome back Rickoos. Hope you get to hang around for a while.

Mike Cork · February 21, 2005, 05:03:12 PM

Welcome Back Rickoos, It sure was neat to see you and Marila at Bass Pro. Sorry I got all caught up with the Shimano rep, trying to get a tackle bag or something from them to give away on the site, we'll see, couldn't get him to commit to anything

Anyway I was talking to him then turned around and you all were gone, I asked Laurie and she said that I had been talking with him for over 30 minutes

didn't even realize. Hope you all had a good day at BPS as well. Let us know next time you come to town and we can do lunch

Mike Noble · February 22, 2005, 07:25:44 AM

Good morning fishing fans. Workout and drive to work completed...now its time to see what the work day holds...I know its going to be very busy.

I hope everyone has a great day.

wareagle71 · February 22, 2005, 07:44:07 AM

Typical 40*'s in Indiana, KY and Ohio. I hope to work a little AAAAAND maybe fish a little today. All work and no play makes WarEagle a dull boy.

Good Morning Bassers.

WAR

Oh, its in the low 60's here this morning...going to upper 70's. But there is a chance of thunderstorms.

Rickoos · February 22, 2005, 08:04:29 AM

It was good seeing ya'll too! While you were busy with the rep. I went over to see the new 2005 Nitro 901 on the show floor with the 200 Verado and I think that's the one. Also spent some time with Tommy Martin during his pep talk and after he had finished. Great guy and someone you can learn a few tricks from. We had a great time and when we got home, I saw that Merila had taken from notes during Tommy's talk. Now that's a true parnter.....

Ricky

hey Dawg, you keeping Ranger in order....

?

Lip, its good to be back, buddy! I can't wait until ole cuz dundee gets over here and gets his present, merila said she is tired of feeding it and she is starting to worry why it is getting so long!!!!!!!!!!!

Lipripper · February 22, 2005, 08:23:20 AM

Rickoos tell merila not to feed it so much

Mike Noble · February 22, 2005, 08:51:28 AM

Good morning Lip...how are things in your world.

Rickoos · February 22, 2005, 09:04:04 AM

Hey Lip,

early in the morning when she feeds it, if you bump the box hard you can heard a buzzing sound coming from the box.......not sure what makes that sound....

Ricky

Lipripper · February 22, 2005, 09:19:01 AM

Eye'm doing fine all things concidered Mike how ya'll doing today besides having to work

Rickoos don't bump the box to hard and if ya ever figure out how it makes that buzzing sound let me know

Rickoos · February 22, 2005, 11:31:59 AM

Hey Lip,

Ricky

Mike Noble · February 23, 2005, 07:38:20 AM

Good morning all. Somebody got rain overnight...but not at my house. But I have a feeling today will be rain everywhere...even heard there could be small hail....I guess it is getting that time of year. Next thing they will be talking about is tornadoes.

Got a VERY long day ahead...I'm just trying to survive it.

MotherNature · February 23, 2005, 07:48:02 AM

Good Morning Everyone!

I think it is time to put the other thread to rest and send everyone over here so I am going to post a notice for them to visit here now

Mike Noble · February 23, 2005, 07:50:53 AM

Nanny...nanny...boo...boo....beat you to it.

Jared LeBlue · February 23, 2005, 07:58:51 AM

Laurie did you ever think that you would have a problem with a thread getting too large?

Pretty cool the site is growing at an awesome rate and from what I seen last night it's going keep on growing.

MotherNature · February 23, 2005, 08:00:46 AM

At least I wasn't posting "wrong thread" in messages that had already been split out from the original thread last night

Rattle I never thought we would have to split the posts up but it is great! I love that there are so many folks here and that they all seem to be getting along and having a good time. I just hope we can all keep it this way! Now if I can just keep Mr. Noble undercontrol we will be half way there

Rickoos · February 23, 2005, 08:01:49 AM

Looks like a good day for the FLW rain gear...........lots of rain here also today......maybe I will be able to try and catch up on all the new post I have missed over the last few weeks.....

hope everyone has a great day.......

Ricky
