Celebtation time and a giveaway.

No fish or fly pictures today. Just a big thank you to all of you spending time to read the drivel I write. It slowly crept up on me and when I logged onto blogger today I notice that I have had over 10 000 visitors, 27 600 page views (who really knows what that means), 98 followers and 115 posts.

I haven't been able to spend much time on blogger lately with work and some serious health issues keeping me away from the computer and more importantly fishing. This is a fly fishing blog after all so I try to keep it that way, and with not being able to tie flies or go out fishing I haven't had much to share.

I do try to also keep up with everyone's blogs and though I don't leave comments enough I want to ensure you that I enjoy each and everyone of your blogs.

So here's a mighty thank you for reading and I hope I can keep all of you around for the next 10 000.

To celebrate I will be giving away a new copy of John Gierach's new book " No shortage of good days" valued at about $20.00.  If you are the lucky winner and already have this book I will send you a link where you can choose another book of the same value. (If it is a little bit more we wont worry too much)  The book will be posted to you. I am not going to give you a whole lot of if's/but's or disclaimers. You win the book you get it or one of equivalent value.

If you are a follower you are already entered. If you are a reader and not following yet then sign up and you will be entered. Leave a comment for a bonus point, spread some blog love on your site and you get another bonus point. Just remember to tell me about it. I will assign a number to each entry starting with who ever is currently at the top of my followers list at closing time  and work my way down. There after each comment will get a number and each blog love post will get a number. I will then do the RNG thing this coming Sunday (03/07). You all know how that works and announce the winner soon after.

Good luck.

    First, I hope you're feeling a whole lot better. Keep chugging along, cause we aren't going anywhere. My doctor tells me the best prescription for most anything is to get out of the house and fish those beautiful waters.

    Cool post. Like Dustin I also dig free stuff. Sorry to hear about your health issues. I too have some health issues which at times limit my time at the bench and on the river. Take care and keep your chin up.

    Thanks for the positive comments guys and thank for continuously reading my drivel.

    Cofisher and J and M thanks for the blog love.

    After spending a small fortune on doctors bills and seeing countless "specialists" a homeopath finally got down to the bottom of what is ailing me. Things will never be quite the same again, but at least I now know what it is and how to minimize the affects.

    Good luck to all for Sunday's drawing.

    Heres hoping the health issues are remedied. Love reading the blog since finding it recently and I'll be keeping my eyes open for more shots of those beautiful african rainbows in the near future.
