  You'd think you planned this trip with fishing in my
  looking at where you always ended up.  ;-)

 
LOL no For whatever reason, it just doesn't interest me that
much.  Though I do like seeing the water.

 
 I used to fish a lot more than I do now.  Just always seems
 like there is something else I should do.  Doesn't help that
 the wife doesn't fish, but she at least used to go sit along
 the shore and read.  We haven't done that in two years for some
 reason.  I also do love to eat fish while camping.  Stayed up
 at Lake Koshkenong in Wisconsin and we'd get lots of catfish,
 walleye, and largemouth.  I really do enjoy fried catfish, some
 fried potatoes, and beans.

Oh don't get me wrong, I love me some fish--great eating!  I just
don't care to take the trouble to coax them out of the water.

week to move back to Nebraska (we lived there until 1997 when
we moved to Indiana for my career).  Now that I'm retired,
we're going home.  As a plus, it'll be a shorter drive to the
Rockies and the Southwest.  :)

 
 Wow, that's big.  Congratulations.  Indiana is not a bad place
 to live, but Nebraska is better, and cuts off a whole day
 getting west.  That is one of the big problems with where we
 live in Illinois.  Takes at least two days, usually 3, to get
 to where we want to be.

Thanks!  And for me, it cuts off two days, given my 60 mph upper
towing limit and slightly greater distance.

We're excited about getting back there.  One gripe: until we get
the cars licensed there we would have to pay out of state fees for
a state parks pass.  So that's one to do item that'll have to
wait.

       ...I got throwed out of a bar there one night.

 
Okay, that's more we have in common.  Though my bad old days
of alcoholic drinking are behind me, thankfully.

 
 Mine pretty much are, too.  Not by my choice, but my wife just
 goes crazy.  I'm starting to resent that and am probably going
 to take that power away from her.  Not that I want to drink all
 the time, but if I want one I don't want to fight a war over
 it.

Yeah, I can see how that would suck.  I still think a cold beer on
a hot day is one of the best things ever.  Only problem is that
for me it would never be just one.  The old AA saying has it
right, "One is too many, and a thousand is never enough."
