The Hook

If you haven't gone to the dark side yet, I suggest you hit McDonald's for a Iced Vanilla Coffee. Frenchy gave me grief on our fishing trip when I started to go through withdrawal, but once he had one, he was also hooked. It's half the price of a Starbucks and it's easily as tasty. The only reason I even care about the price is that I can justify buying two in a day as opposed to one Starbucks.

Speaking of Frenchy, that dude cracks me up. We're fishing for four days, living out of a camper trailer, and we're on the water for 14-15 hours a day. So, because the wives are at home, we don't take time to do the usual daily hygiene procedures like shave, brush teeth, change underwear, etc. The fish really don't care. And, if I offend someone down river with my odor or greasy hair, then maybe they'll leave and I can fish their spot. It's a win-win. What cracked me up the most on the trip was that Frenchy, after four days of not shaving, only grows a pointy mustache. No beard growth whatsoever. Dude only sprouts a 'stache that looks like something Jimmy Buffet would sing about. He's only missing the white linen jacket and straw hat and he could be the new host of Fantasy Island. Or he could just chase Peter Pan around. Lots of possibilities with that 'stache.
