I`m going to miss you all. But I`m proud to hand the title of Mr Ugly to Tim,,couldn`t have beena better person to receive the honor..

Bandit,,,you better watch out for john,,that champion was running 63 when I sold it to him,,my Stratos may be slower but alot more room. But going to enjoy the trip to Dale with you. Got to come back and get my boat so just desided why not go to dale too.

But thanks all of you all,,going to miss the river,,and take my smelly azz up there and stink that place up some.

Doug:

The EPA in MN has contacted me.

Please don't use me as a reference to them again. They confiscated my socks as a sample and have determined based on their analysis of them that you will be allowed in the state.

When you applied for citizenship up there, did they accept your Visa Card as proof of nationality?

Minnesota State Drivers liscenses require a photograph. Let me know if you need me to send you a picture to use.

Are you aware that to be a qualified citizen of Minnestota, you have to be able to sing the theme of the Lavern and Shirley show? You also have to get a Drew Carey haircut.

The best part of fishing in winter on Minnesota lakes is that you will fit in perfectly. Nobody else up there can hit water with a lure either.

Canadians like to "ice the puck". KY folks who move to Mn don't play hockey, and so "don't give a puck about the ice".

Moderators: Please add a Minnesota Fishing Discussion Board. I want to see how long it takes the guys up there to start talking about Doug.

Canadian border patrol: Expect an exodus from Minnesta soon!

Be careful, best wishes for success in your new zip code, stay in touch good buddy.
