Hmmm...can you get fresh shrimp in January? Maybe now that we have most of
our infrastructure worked out...could the Fourlanders do Limited for the
January contest from somewhere warmer? It would not be for a big score, but
to help us continue to improve logistical planning, maybe hand out an odd
under represented grid and to just have fun. Maybe even bring a couple extra
bands like 902...

I've got a 6 gallon boil pot, propane burner with stand and a tank.
Anyone game? Maybe not this year, but next?

Hey, pass me the nutcracker so I can crack open this lobster...Cheers!
