Johnny is getting "Stir Crazy"
Johnny Fishburn: These long hot Summer days are getting to me Scaley. We gotta turn things around. Our fishing trips have been way below par this season, and we're getting rusty.
Scales: It's so bad at my place Wifee is asking when we are on the road again.
Johnny: Same thing over here. Now look I think I have a solution. You remember that spot on the Ausable River we ran across over east of Grayling?
Scales: Ya we should have tried that out but the bugs and 100 degree heat were too much.
Johnny: Sleeping on the picnic table the night before didn't help either. That ended car camping for me, but let's keep…
Scales: I packed my speedo and 3 pairs of shorts, and my best sport coat so I'm ready to go.
Johnny Fishburn: Sounds good! Don't worry about your fishing gear, we won't have time on this trip. Friday night is the annual "Water Festival" with events downtown, and Sunday I'm planning a dinner for our group at "The Foolish Frog."
Scales: We gotta eat frog legs, really?
Johnny: No, that's just the name of a seafood place overlooking the bay. We can watch sundown on the marsh, and eat shrimp...the real fresh kind.
Scales: Ok but I'm not wearing my sport coat all day am I?
Johnny: Just during the wedding, and that won't last long. It'll be hot, but…
The Guys have a plan....there's a lot to figure out
Johnny Fishburn: We gotta make this trip to Ausable River work, we may not get out again this year.
.
Scales: Ya I know, the Wifees are getting a little difficult about our trips.
.
Johnny: Well the other thing is we've been coming up short on fish lately. I think this new spot will get us back on track. Besides we 'll be bring back some spending cash for the girls after our stay at the "Unmentionable Cxxxxo." We did our researach last visit and we're ready to make a killing this time.
.
Scales: I wish I had your confidence John. Here comes Tracey with our drafts.

Guys Meet at Their Favorite Pub to Plan Trip Next Week
Johnny Fishburn: Oh I missed her, well I had to shave and stuff. You like my new shirt?
Scales: John give it up, we're a couple of old guys with rust around the edges.
Johnny: Well I guy can dream. Now here is the deal. I got the reservation set for Thursday night
at the "Unmentionable Cxxxxo" so we leave Tuesday real early for the drive up north.
Scales: Ok but are we staying at the "Bear Claw" place?
Johnny: You bet. It's a nice federal park right on the Little Manistee next to the stream. We'll be
fishing in some prime water by mid afternoon that first day.…
Pandemic Fisherman "Plantation Wedding" trip plans
Scales: John am I still invited to that big wedding down in the Low Country?
.
Johnny Fishburn: Of course, did Wiffee say you could go?
.
Scales: Hey you know I call the shots just like you do. My thinking is I want to go but need more information, especially any costs and stuff. Do I have to wear a suit?
.
Johnny: No suits this is Southern gentleman's wear, and definitely "no ties" required!
.
Scales: Great but what will it cost me? .
.
Johnny: We'll find room for you at the 4 bedroom Condo over on the bay front, and airfair is pretty good if you move on it now-we…
