re: 1st Annual OB Kayak Trip - Blame it on the Rain...

You and I didn't wet a hook in boat with Josey and Choirboy at Hopedale Oct. 19th. They caught a boat load while you and I drank beer and watched em pretending to be having a good time. That trip was already planned with Josey and 8 of his best buddies but when he got terminal prognosis on Oct. 16th he told them trip still on and he added me. All made trip and great cooking and partying as always with that that crew for Josey despite that huge black cloud. Never mentioned this to anybody but the searing image that I try to forget is after group pics in front of lodge sign and everybody else getting in their trucks to leave glancing at Josey and seeing his tears knowing that was last fishing trip with em. Those were the only tears I saw through that whole horrible ordeal. Don't mean to be a downer for you all but OB was like family to him and brought joy to him till the end.
