The First Flatwater Topic of 2011
Okay, I know that today is still 2010, but I wanted to be the first to post a Flatwater 2011 topic. Besides, does anyone look down the Board Index this far? Let's name those people we want to come to Flatwater 2011. There are a number of people I would like to see at Flatwater, but for now I want Boz03 to make it. What do you all say?

Re: The First Flatwater Topic of 2011
I'd like Luckydog to come out. Steve Atkinson, Utah Shotgunner and Utah always come to mind on this topic too. Rufus has "considered it" for years....
Pete can come too, and has been asked I'll extend the invite again this year-Pete you're invited.

Re: The First Flatwater Topic of 2011
I was looking back on 2010 postings, I would like to see you all again and Boz especially, he is such a gent! Plan on bringing some nice old guns (paper weights) with me.
I had a tough time at the border last year, I hope things go a but more smoothly this year. We can buy, over the counter up here Tylenol with Codeine. So the Agricultural Office asks me if I have any of that. I said yes and produce a bottle from my bag, and it seems that commodity is prohibited in the USA. So I say fine, where is the toilet, I'll flush them away and you can observe.
No way, they say, you'll have to take the pills back to Canada, you can't flush them away in the US!
Well, I said, if I drive back to Canada they will charge me duty on the liter of Vodka in my car I just bought at the Duty-Free, can I walk back to Canada?
Yes, they said, we will be watching you to make sure you don't dump those pills on the ground in the USA. And take your passport with you, you will need it to re-enter America.
I enter the Canada Customs post and the girl officer is giggling and the men smirking, they were expecting me. She hold out a waste bin for the pills and then fills out a "Certificate of Abandonment", a form about 12"x18", which I have to sign, and plod 200 yards back to America, give them the form and show my passport and have to go through the entry rigmarole again.
There is a bit more to this story involving educating a sceptical US Homeland Security Officer on English black powder proof marks for the antique gun, he Googled them up on his official computer. He said, while doing so, "take a seat, you'll be here a while, we're searching your car!"

Re: The First Flatwater Topic of 2011
I sure would like to come. At this point it's not entirely out of the question but it's iffy at best. My wife and I had to close our magazine a few months ago and it's been very tight lately. She's still looking for a job. I, however, landed a nice gig selling BMW's at the largest BMW store in the region, most of the first couple of months here have been spent in training but I'm starting to "move some metal" as they say and this might actually turn into a living.
Every year I think about how much I'd love to go and see you all. And one year that will definitely happen. I'm just not sure yet that it's this year. My fingers remain crossed though!

If your fingers remain as crossed as Voss' eyes on Saturday night, you'll make it for sure.

I'll throw in a 3rd, 4th, whatever for Boz. And having met Pete, and knowing that he's just a big old teddy bear in person, it'd be good if he'd make it. Bob Crandall also . . . since I didn't get out to hunt with him this year.

It sounds intriguing...
Has a date been chosen?
I see April 23rd mentioned, but if that's the case, I can't make it, as that is Easter Weekend.
