Tahoe/Sierra Fishing Trip takes flight...
Scales: John you gotta quit calling me so late I need my beauty rest.
.
Johnny Fishburn: Ya sure, now hear this. Our flight to Reno and 5-6 nights hotel might cost us
plenty, but I think I have a solution.
.
Scales: Knowing you the solution will be sleeping in a wet tent and eating at McDonalds.
:
Johnny: Hey this is the new Johnny Fishburn here. Those days are behind us pal. Now look the cabins and motels at the lake are a bit out of our reach, but I found a Hilton on the edge of Reno at an amazing price. Besides there is a major Sporting Goods Store just a few…
Scales gets a late night call....and it's a "Huge Plan"
Scales: What's this stuff about Nevada Johnny? I thought we were all set on a quick trip to the UP or Pa. and then out to Yellowstone In September?
.
Johnny Fishburn: How would you feel about fishing the Trukee River in the Sierra Mountains in June, and then heading to Colorado and Yellowstone with the Wiffee's in late August?
.
Scales: John the girls will never go for two cross country trips so we can go fishing....they would be Bored, Bored, and more Bored-I can hear it now!
.
Johnny: You don't get it Scalesy. You and I fly out to Reno/Tahoe airtport in June, explore the mountain streams…

Johnny Fishburn: Ok I rushed over here so what's going on?
.
Scales: Johnny I can't make it till next September.
.
Johnny: Huh? How's that?
.
Scales: No trips or fishing until next September is too much- I can't do it!
.
Johnny: You know, I've been thinking the same thing. Yellowstone will be great but for
any reason we can't pull it off we are screwed for the whole year. How bout we make one trip
to the UP or maybe Kettle Creek up there in Northern Pa.?
.
Scales: Ok I can breath easier...let's get something lined up over the Winter.
.
Johnny: Scaley, I'm impressed! I thought I…
"Trip of a Lifetime"
.
Scales: John this better be good, our trips this year were a bit of a bust.
.
Johnny Fishburn: Ya we had a few rough ones and the fishing was marginal on top of that! now listen up...I have a trip plan for next year that is really big...I mean really big!
.
Scales: Lay it on me John.
.
Johnny: We've talked about a trip out West for years. It's time to do it!
.
Scales: You mean fishing in Yellowstone and all?
.
Johnny: You got it Scaley. It's time to pull this off. I'm thinking of early September 2026. The crowd will be down and the weather should be good....and we know…
"Unfinished Business"
.
Scales: John what are we going to do about our gas mileage? The guys at the Pub are all over me on this. They want to know our mpg results. Besides that we never got to the right "concrete bridge."
.
Johnny Fishburn: Well we made a few stupid mistakes on the mileage, I guess we were too
excited to get up there, but we do know what caused the 34mpg instead of our target of 40plus.
.
Scales: Ya I'll keep quiet on that, but it's on you.

I never remember to switch on "Econ Drive" for economy, and how would I know I had 3 tires with low air? What's really bothering me is…
