Hey Vance - We had a great time pouring lead

, when I got home I actually had three 1# cod weights and two 3# nut busters someone snuck into the bucket for myself. Just added them to the stack. Glad Ratherbefishin came along, seemed to have a good time mixin with the rest of you low lifes

and was nice to find an islander to go fishing with that has the same interest. Dale and I kinda guesstimated that we poured over 150 cod weights as we went thru about a package and a half of eyes.
Now to the business at hand. My son Phillip has been to all the lead pours(even scorched his arms at the first one when the hot downrigger ball he was carrying rolled up off the welding gloves onto his forearm). Well Flasher decided he was old enough to have his own BD name. He was "christened" PHILZERUP by Flasher, RTB, TT and DB. Word spread like wildfire and he was shocked that everyone knew in just a few minutes that he was being brought into the bruthahood. I
really appreciated everyone making him part of the group. You all represent the type of person I hope he grows up to be, and getting to hang out at these outtings, he gets to see respect, honor, integrity and heartfelt friendships built from a common ideal. He will be 16 next month and like some kids his age has had his issues, but he really looks up to the great guys in BD. I will have him do a proper introduction this evening when he can be properly supervised during his BD internet intro. So don't even fucking ask

, lets just say his internet privilages have been significantly curtailed so my ass doesn't end up payin fines or in jail.
Thanks again! Dave
Vance - Blue plastic step stool is mine, told that kid 3 times not to put it under the table or he'd forget it.
