Mini-Mission Organized after the 32nd…..
Shortly after the 32nd, the Commish was having lunch with OD at Hooters in Phoenix (no really - they have good wings) and admitted having major withdrawal symptoms from the Fishin' Mission. One said to the other (who cares which) "we're grown men, why don't we show some stones and go back to B-Port?"
Next thing we knew--it was email to all Missionaries with an invitation (another reason to make sure your email address is up to date) with an invitation. We had about 12 confirmations, but some of them XCLD as the August 25th date got closer. But Walkbucks, OD, Sparky, Carm-Boy, the Mayor, and Hands all showed up! Great weekend--fished every hole, drank every beverage, and didn't have to drive to camp because we stayed in town at the WRL!
Anyone ready to commit to the second annual mini-mission? Well….are ya?

It was chilly and with the "wind warning" we had NO FIRE--had to make do throwing them back around the Weber Grill! Then made it back to the Palace of Hands for some more cards. The Mayor left for work, Carm Boy got "reincarmated", and Marko Porno stayed on to learn B&G--the hard way!
Monday June 6th: Winds seem to have subsided--so anticipation was in the air. With Kevin having the only fish clocked--nerves were frail. Oh yeah--it might have been the kee-hol but no one would admit it. And we knew this was also the day for yet more hip surgery for Wild Bill--we stood in silence--

some fell back asleep!
As we gathered at Ken's there was electricity in the air--and then Smilin' pulls up and shuts out Kevin at the wire! (more on that in Derby Report)
We then take the party to Rhino's, the first real test with the new owners--will they be able to hold up to the scrutiny of Monday Afternoon? Indeed they did! Patrick and Stephanie held up, through the smoke and through the video! Kudos' to the new owners!
They should keep an eye on Bowen and Scratch however!
Tuesday June 7th: WIDE OPEN TIME! Not much more to report here except that the Nite Crawlers were happy that Dak came in Tuesday morning, to fill in for Morgy who was preoccupied after swerving to miss a deer and taking out some of the cattle fencing.
Wednesday June 8th: Breakfast in camp for those remaining--Marko, Billy Bob, Ryan, Pat, Morgy, Matt, HFTB, and Bucks. Fished heavy--log, cove, point, blah, blah--Carm Boy and Sparky had the hot hands. Came back to 44D for Tri-tip, Porterhouse, Filet Mignon, New York Strips--shit--"can't beat our meat"! Then
