Posted by Cliff on 4/13/2007, 6:31 am Hola all you lucky enough to be enjoying a 'fun in de sun' day SOTB...I don't know if I would want to say to a lady that 'your face is made of a fiddle' without duckin' duckie...I, for one, would like to start off this Friday in the traditional way by thanking all you SOTB wannabes still workin' stateside for keeping the payroll deductions comin' in and out to Uncle Sam and then, after laundering, down here to we who are now permanently unemployed...I quit my day job in 1999 and have never looked back...Goofin' off is all that it is cracked up to be...Play, eat and sleep...The stuff that kids are made of...They say that we become kids again in our late age stage and I ask you, " can you come out and play"??? How about some 'hide and go seek' at Vip's a little later...Dave came by and joined me for a cuppa yesterday and even brought us some 'hard to get' goodies from stateside...We had a good ole boy chat that included fishing as Dave is starting up a fishing venture at Aguamilpa and he will be probably starting to let us know where and when soon startin' with an introduction like: Aguamilpa, Mexico's hottest new bass fishing lake opened in the fall of '97. The 70,000 acre lake, one of the most accessible of Mexico's hot bass fishing lakes, can be reached, by paved road, in 3 hours from either Guadalajara or Puerto Vallarta or by air to Tepic, Nayarit then a short 45 minute ride to the Jalapa. Stocked 1992 with Florida strain largemouth bass, the lake was protected from fishing until the fall of '97. An ideal food base and ideal growing temperatures have made this a "Bass Fishing Paradise." Lush tropical foliage covers the mountains that surround the lake making it one of Mexico's most scenic. And the lake is loaded with aggressive largemouth bass ranging in size from 2 1/2 to 10 pounds. Ok Dave, save a place on one of your boats for me!!! I'm hooked...Ole Eagle Claw is my middle name...I once could do a Jitterbug as well (not the dance, the surface lure silly). Yesterday, Alice and I ventured over to Manger for comida and enjoyed a chicken caesar salad and a plate full of delicious BBQ'd ribs...Finger lickin' goood!!! Yesterday, I also walked (needed the exercise) over to Megacable to pay my bill for the computer and for three rooms of television entertainment...Alice and I always have a TV goin' someplace although I avoid the CNN type thing like the plague and focus on the movie channels and the Outdoor channel and their fishing shows...I like the NFL channel as well...I also have a 'western' channel that gives me all the oldies like Rawhide and The Bounty Hunter and The Rifleman and Bonanza and so forth and so on...Lots of old movies as well...Makes me remember the old days when I strapped on a six-shooter and carried a Daisy 1000 shot Red Ryder .177 caliber lever-action BB gun...Move over Paladin, here comes Wild Cliffie (Grandmother's handle for moi)... Hope to see ya over at Vip's today as I have a hankering for a cuppa ole campfire Joe Java and it goes down smoother with a side-kick, pardner!!! Adios Pilgrim, Cliftonardo

* 'Fit as a fiddle': "In fine shape; feeling good. Fiddles are admired for their sound and sometimes for their trim and symmetrical shape. Indeed, to say 'his face is made of a fiddle' was once a way of describing someone as charming".
