Woke up this morning to -15 weather with a wind chill near -40. I had to put the trash out and damn near froze my face off. After that, the truck wouldn't start, so I had to spend ten minutes getting it jumped. Misery, just misery. And it looks like there won't be a break in the weather for awhile. Gets one thinking about writing new material, tying some flies, experimenting with a new chili recipe, shooting oneself in the temple.
I'm going to try my best to stay positive and work on FWJ stuff as well as my new book, but I'll be watching for a break in the weather to get outside. I guess this is also a good time to think about new trips and the upcoming season. Chris and I were thinking maybe this summer we should have a Green River rendevous out west. It would be in late July or early August, and we could invite all listeners to come out for a week and share in some of the finest dry fly fishing the west has to offer. If this sounds like something you might be interested in, please let us know. I'm thinking of bringing it up on the next episode.
Well, that's it for now. Stay warm out there if you're in the midwest. If you're reading this from a much more sane environment, well, good for you. Tell us what the weather and fishing is like right now in your region.

I have this strange thing happen when I hear each new episode; I listen, I listen, I listen, and then suddenly, from out of nowhere, after some oddly wry comment, I loudly and embarassingly snort. Which for me is sort of the same as expiring what you might call a loud guffaw. Since I'm Swedish, you know, and non-demonstrative. But the belly laugh just sort of builds and builds. Hard to tell in these temperatures, but chances are good that you guys are funny. This time it was the cooking standards - brat cooking joke. So anyway. Keep up the good work, once you get all the studio gear unfrozen.
Thanks. We're not sure we're funny, but we amuse the hell out of ourselves. Keep on listening.
