The dishes are washed, the trash has been taken out, the leftovers are wrapped and in the fridge; the Underground's Second Occasional Slaw Dog Fest is history.
I'm too stuffed and sleepy to write the kind of witty banter you expect from this highly respected online publication, so I'll let the bare minimum of pictures tell the story.
The slaw dog: mustard, onions, chili and cole slawnbsp;
A good time was had by all -- "all" being the 17 souls who showed up (plus Wally the Wonderdog, who scored heavily in the "dropped food" department).
Indeed, the Wonderdog provided a pair of the night's most stellar photo ops.
Wally the Wonderdog fixes his Wonderpeepers on someone's cake.
Later, he toppled over on Sandy Raine (wife of bamboo rod builder Chris Raine), sleepy from the food he managed to beg and steal.
It's a dog's life, Wally.
Enough About The Dog: What About the Fishing?
The upcoming week is another busy one, but I wouldn't rule out another trip.
The warm weather is spiking river flows over 1000cfs, but frankly, almost all of the low level snow is gone.
Of course, an actual prediction risks anbsp;jinx,nbsp;but I think we're looking at a fairly short runoff period.
This means we could enjoy a clear shot at some of the early mayfly hatches that often occur in high water.
March Browns, Green Drakes, Golden Stones... the heart pounds, the head spins.
We'll keep you posted. See you at the barbecue, Tom Chandler.
