n23d>>>--------->Bad News !!! We won' t be making Rome !!! We had an appliance catastrophy this week---the magnetron and diode shorted out in our motorhome microwave. We took it in to the microwave vet in Thomasville, and we won' t be able to get it back until Friday night, at least. That means that we wouldn' t be in Rome until Saturday night, at least, and hate to shoot all 40 with a time deadline. Also, would be too much travelling to go up to Rome for the shoot, then back down to Thomasville to get the microwave next week, then zoom.com back up north again to Oak Ridge for the ASA proam. We are not happy with the situation, but you know the cause---" the lowest bidder got the microwave contract with the motorhome company" !!! Also, we need that micro back to help maintain our " Olympic Physics" ---gosh my " Buda Belly" just might disappear without the use of it !!!

NEWS FLASH !!! Caught another big catfish yesterday afternoon---12#---BUT threw him back in the drink. NOW all the RV park cats are mad at me !!! One thing for sure these Georgia catfish sure are fond of elk meat !!!

Good luck in Rome !!!
