Ned, if ever I manage to get my colonial arse to the mother country, I would love to have a few quiet beers with you! Your posts are always thoroughly entertaining and you are clearly a character. You would fit in very well here in Oz!
Yes I see where your coming from Ned, you obviously look like those mentioned, from the back on a foggy night during a full eclipse

My great grandparents were hand selected by some of the finest magistrates in all of Britain to colonize this place, so, as you can imagine, I'm very proud of them! It doesn't surprise me, Ned, that you would be of the same stock!
Pictured you more like this Ned.

Ha Ha!! Put a 'tasche on him and your not far off!! I am proud I remind you of Norm Peterson, he really has been an idol of mine since I was a teenager. I have always tried to live up to his drinking ethic whilst down the local boozer.
"How's it going Ned?"
"Poor."
"I'm sorry to hear that."
"No, I mean pour."
It's the way I tell 'em.

The Ponderosa Ranch was mentioned earlier. The wife and I panned for gold at the Ponderosa Ranch. It was a tourist trap. The only gold ever to be found there was in Haus' dental work!
Ok, I'm a fairly private person so this is stretching for me. Besides Green, I go by Mark. We have several children that we are raising at home and we have a loving home.
When not home, I cast for cash. I have been on T.V. a few times when contending for bigger purse money and that was a number of years ago. With work and family coming to the forefront, I now fish more locally and don't travel as much as once was possible to fish. I do fish seriously, just not on a regional/national level as before. A quick funny story.....In a large multi-day tournament, I was in the hunt for a big payday and had a camera crew on me. They were in a boat behind me and called out a question to me. I turned around to answer and while I had my jaws jacking, the cam guy told me I had a fish on the line. Quickly, the hook was set and the smallish fish was hauled aboard. I felt like an idiot! Here was a "pro" being told by the camera man that a fish was on the line. That was the last time I "floundered" and gave someone any quarter during competition. I took a top 10 that weekend and a small check but nothing to pay the kids college off with.
Anyways, here's the ride that replaced my last one. It's a hand built Mercury Racing motor on this 21' bass boat. I hope you enjoy the pics. It'll run 84 mph with 273hp.
Steve/Walkwolf, the bass pic is for you! You look like you need some competition

In this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig. CE
