HI Kip,
It will be wild sking in Ga. again, when I was a young buck (a long time ago)we would ski at the ski lodge in Vinnings,ga.,it was a BIG hill with white fake grass and little white balls,you would go real fast and if you could not stop the BIG HARD fence at the bottom would act as your brake.
Boy,those were the days!
By the way I liked the fish story,I'm sure it did the smoker proud.
talk to you soon
