=======================================
Tip of the Week - Fish, don't ride. In a club tournament last Sunday,
I started fishing at the marina where we started. I caught a good keeper
on my second cast with a buzz bait and added four more for a limit during
the next two and one half hours - and never left sight of the marina! I
didn't get my boat on plane until I headed in at the end of the day - didn't
use hardly any gas! If lots of tournaments release fish at a marina, the
waters around it should have high concentrations of bass - worked for me!

Joke for this Week - Faithful Cat
Once upon a time, a woman had a faithful cat. And one day, a lawyer ran over the cat with his car. So, the man went to the old woman and said..
"I'm terribly sorry about your cat. I'd like to replace him."
"That so nice of you!" said the old woman, deeply touched.
"So how good are you at catching mice?"
======================================
Thought for the Week - Lawyer's creed: A man is innocent until proven
broke.
=====================================
Right Click Trick - Having trouble bookmarking a site you find through
The Mining Co because the URL doesn't show? This is a problem with
frames. Right click your mouse and the page url you are viewing should
show. Then you can copy it and book mark it. Sorry for the trouble.
======================================
Bonus Joke - An airliner was having engine trouble, and the pilot
instructed the cabin crew to have the passengers take their seats and get
prepared for an emergency landing.
A few minutes later, the pilot asked the flight attendants if everyone was buckled in and ready.
"All set back here, Captain," came the reply, "except
one lawyer who is still going around passing out business cards."
======================================
