Many regular members couldn't make it this year and were missed. Prop couldn't make it, Joker stayed at home, as did Todd the General. Hillybillyjosh, last years "thonginator hit" had a family emergency and also couldn't make it. And, lastly, my co-pilot Mikey has family crap as well. There weren't any noobs. This was just the core group of guys and gals but it was a lot of fun.
The weather went from shitty, to REALLY shitty, to REALLY REALLY FUCKING bad to manageable. I think they had 5-6 inches of rain before we got there and it kept raining until Late Friday. Saturday didn't rain but it was SOOOOOO muddy. My shoes are no longer black. They are red dirt brown.
But, in true Fishing Herf ingenuity, everything went off without a hitch. Blue, the camp master chef, had chili Thursday night, 2 sacks of crawfish boil on Friday, and what seemed like 100 lbs of Jambalaya and white beans on Saturday. I think breakfasts were also cooked, but I needed my beauty rest and didn't attend them. There was a ton of liquor (not sure who provided but I think everyone pitched in. Jules and Grumpy stocked the inside table with cigars and others contributed as well. It was a blast.
Saturday night, Big Bear (Adrian) received the herf hit. Included was a really cool signed birdhouse (he will need to post a picture) that Mikey contributed as well as a Palio Cutter, Lotus tabletop lighter, herfador, and a ton of cigars.
Tuck also passed out a special cigar gift to each person in attendance. It ranged from collector sets to full boxes of smokes.
The thonginator poster will be passed on but the new recipient was not at the herf and they are as of now unaware of the joy coming to them. That tidbit will be posted later.
All in all, we trudged through the weather and had an absolutely great time. Much thanks to Raymond for hosting and we look forward to next year. A new thread with dates has been posted.
Lastly, I will post my list of "things we learned at the herf". They may be cryptic, so I will allow whichever member I am posting about to elaborate on their own time.
Was I drunk??????????????????
