I'm sincerely hoping this doesn't come across wrong, but I wish to remove myself from this poll, for a couple of reasons.
1...My major contribution is my annual thread and it's basically a One-note Charlie thing and shouldn't be compared to some of the really great efforts put forth here by others. Actual adventures by Sharphooks, Ironnoggin and a number of others should be the ones considered in this thing, not my annual repetitive relating of my ongoing failure in the Tyee Pool. Ask my long-suffering rod-holders.
2...I get a lot of love, advice and sympathy during the two months of Tyee season and any more would be unearned and unwarranted.
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your kind comments and the putting forth of my little efforts as a contender for this, however, but I honestly don't feel my easy-as-pie right in my yard efforts compare to many of you other peeps and your contributions.
Now get off my lawn and leave me alone.
And I'm wishing all of you a very great New Years and new year ahead.
Take care.
