Our “dude’s week” in the Boundary Waters is less than two months away. My Dad, brother, fishing buddy Ed and I are busy collecting our fishing, camping and survival gear. The content below comes from an email exchange the other day with Eddie…
Me: Ed, I think we’re short a landing net for those lunkers we’ll be hauling in. Do you have one?
Ed: My Dad might have one. I’ll check with him. I’m also planning on getting a lot of my stuff from my Grandpa. He has a bunch of it.
Me: Solid. Vintage.
Ed: Totally. It will probably be some of the same stuff he took up there in 1967, so you know its tested.
Me: Tested = old and liable to break.
Ed: You shouldn’t talk about your Dad that way!
