Happy birthday, Mike! Are you in Idaho or CA? Hopefully you got to spend your day fishing. :D
I have a retirement plan - I plan on going fishing.

Thanks. I'm in Idaho but didn't fish today. The rivers up here are still way blown out (about 5-6timesnormal flows) and at 102 years old, I'm very hesitant to wade them until they drop to around 200% of normal flow. ;) :lol:

So after you reach the century mark you get two birthday threads, eh? Well, as long as you don't expect two gifts. :D

Hey Mike, if you were down slummin', I'd take you to Rocky's for a beer and brat. But, for now, you'll have to settle for a "Happy Birthday!"

Calling me sir--now you had to go and make me feel really old. It's bad enough to be 102, but to be 102 and feel old, that's the pits. :lol:

Seriously, thanks for all the well wishes from everyone.

Does that come with the Vibram tread?

Belated HBD Midger. At 102, it's good to know you can get up to the keyboard. A little gift form the guys here. Hopefully it will make getting to the stream a bit easier.
