Minor Changes and a New Link

It was time to do a little house cleaning.  Seeing as how Janie and Solje hadn't updated their blog in a year or so, I finally decided to "delist" it from the friends sites list.  In the meantime another friend just started his blog "Roaming Oldies Fly Fishing" (Fly Fishing Bums with a Touch of Gray).

Ken and Diane just completed retiring, and are off on their post retirement adventure:

W e are embarking on a long awaited “Bucket List” trip later this week; dragging our camper, the “Tin Turtle”, and fly-fishing our way west. There is no particular schedule and no final destination…just a long series of adventures exploring new rivers and re-visiting old favorites. If all goes well, the trip will wind through Ohio, Minnesota, Iowa, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, AZ and New Mexico…maybe.

I've known Ken and Diane for a number of years now, and we shared the harrowing experience on the Bay informally known as "Horkfest."  (IIRC, that's Ken and Diane in the yellow rainsuits). Ken is a talented, actually professional, photographer, and of course, a dyed in the wool, ascot-wearing fly fisherman.  Diane also fishes, and is the quiet one of the pair.

They promise:

Where we’ve fished and what flies worked

Best places for DIY fishing

Fly fishing tips

Explore favorite rivers and streams

Photography

Recommended accommodations based on our experiences

What to see off the beaten path and in the cool out of the way places (not the usual tourist stuff).

I'm jealous, and I wish them well, and look forward to following their exploits.

Now, I just have to find something to do with the background; I'm tired of the fireworks.
