Mgay = The New Ngamer [Ng back... with PICS.NOW!]

[Ngamer]

Hey gang,

As you may remember from past years, every Summer I take one week-long vacation away from the internet at our cottage up in the northern part of Wisconsin.  Well, that week has arrived once again, and so

From Saturday July 11th through Saturday July 18th, Mgay is in charge of the Contest!

Now that we have the thengamer voting system in place this isn't as big of a job as it used to be- basically Mg will just be there around FV time every night to either run the show himself or have someone else do it, feed them the results from the previous day, and then enter the next match into the system.

Come will be in charge of keeping the board top updated with the latest Eliter pics; I don't know how his schedule is going to work out for that, so those might not be updated until later than usual.  So, just keep clicking into the vote link at the top of the page, as the system will always be up to date.

If you have any questions feel free to talk to Mg at RegularMg on AIM or regularmg@gmail.com.

I wish him good luck, but hope he won't need it!  And have fun this week everyone, everyone else!

Your bestest pal in the whole world,
~Ng

That's right, I've once again been handed the Contest-running beard from the man himself!  I don't foresee any major problems, as Ngamer's updating system makes this job a lot easier than it has been in the past.  As Jon said, if you have any questions, feel free to IM or e-mail me.

Never fear Elite, I'm back!  And people want to know how my week of vacation went, so here are some pictures.

The highlight of the week was my Grandpa landing a 44 inch Tiger Musky (that means it's half musky and half northern pike).  That's extremely large, as tiger muskies never get as large as normal muskies.  Grandpa has been fishing for almost all of his 84 years and this is probably the most excited he's ever been over a catch!

 

There's no way he should have been able to land this fish- it weighed 22 lbs and he was using only an 8 lb test line, small pole, and tiny lure (as seen below).  After setting the hook the musky jumped completely out of the water twice, shaking its head trying to shake the lure free, then spent another 10 minutes circling under the boat trying to break the line.  My Grandpa and uncle didn't have a large enough net to fit him in, so they had to reach into the water and literally flip him into the boat- and once he was in he flopped around so hard he nearly flipped himself back into the water!  It really was an incredibly lucky catch.

 

 

Here's a photo of me perch fishing!

 

 

Here's a small fawn that wandered into camp.  The woods in the area are swarming with deer- we saw seven near the road just during a 45 minute care ride one night.

 

 

Here's a photo of me setting a new world record for swinging long jump.

 

 

And here's me setting a new world record for coolest dive!

I decided not to care about making conversation about possible shared experiences with Ngamer.

Pics only show up in IE, and do not show up in FF, why?

[Red Bull]

I use FF and it works perfectly fine!
