I have been slacking lately. I feel especially bad about that this time around, as its taken me a month to say goodbye to a great man and Hacklebarney alumnus, John Capazzo.
John was a great fisherman, friend to many in the chapter and loyal member who always found time to help.
John, you will truly be missed.
John out fishing with Rich Tullo on what must have been a glorious day.
Sorry folks, its been a while since Ive been to the site. Ive been lazy.
I'm here to tell you about the best meeting of the year, the December auction and pot luck dinner.
This Thursday, bring your favorite dish and some gently used items to auction (or pawn off) to other members. I personally keep a bag of stuff to bring and this year have a flask, some hats, books and other stuff.
In past years, Ive won a tin of Woodduck feathers and some other great stuff.
Also, as in past years, Ill be bringing my world famous Mac and Cheese for the pot luck dinner. Kevin Gableman will be bringing has favorite venison dish. I just hope the guy who brought the kielbasa and sourkraut does it again this year, because that stuff was delish!
So in summary, show up this Thursday at 7:30pm with food and stuff for auction.
Things could get out of hand.
Its the most wonderful time of the year!!!
Not to sidetrack a TU chapter's page, but Bartolo (Big Sexy) Colon took personal time away from the World Series to send us a message and I needed to repost it. Lets go Mets!
This past Saturday, we had at least 5 Hacklebarney members show up to help clean the Rockaway River in Dover. While this wasnt officially our event, it was a success, because we cleaned up a great stretch of water.
Honestly, this stretch, by the park and public works area, was more beautiful than I would have imagined.
It makes it so hard to believe that there are so many knuckleheads throwing beer bottles, worm containers, and my personal favorite, soiled diapers on the banks.
From what others were saying, this area holds wild fish too. Maybe this could be a candidate for a stream restoration?
Thanks again to the Hacklebarney (and Ridge and Valley) members that got out, and got their hands dirty.
