Fellow E-10 Extravaganzers:
Well, with Friday's addition of Mechanics Bank senior residential loan officer rookie Sonja Wyland [if anyone needs a refi, she is the one to go to and through, btw!] and her husband Bill, the roster for Extravaganza 2010 is now set in stone .
Complete with bankers, investment bankers, financial planners/managers, lawyers, realtors, branders (in the figurative not literal sense, cowpokes), winemakers, vineyard managers, contractors, cpa's, and business owners of multivarious types (including roofers, equipment manufacturers, internet marketeers, and international ferrous metals distributors), E-10, now 66 fisherfolk strong, is just shy of 90 days from being launched [we are just about equidistant from Christmas and E-10, gang] where our revelers will be (re)visiting the glories that western Montana has to offer.
On our end, while in Montana last week, your Hostess With The Mostess and I met with many of our E-10 suppliers and I can assure you first hand that, as in the past, you will each be treated in a most extravagant manner upon your arrival. Many of you veterans out there have been asking, "What in the world new can you do to match prior years' Extravaganzas?" and all I can say is that your question(s) will be answered beginning with your arrival in Missoula and you will not go home either empty handed or disappointed (as you veteran Extravaganzers well know, be sure to leave extra space in your incoming suitcase or, better yet, stash in an modest empty one to manage the extravagant extras that will be returning home with you).
Having seen first hand the modest amount of snow in the mountains surrounding our fishing waters, we all will want to keep a careful eye on hopefully new snow coming Montana's way--a check of Missoula's temperatures (that can be done 24/7 on (y)our E-10 blogsite ) indicates that temps will be up into the mid-60's this late winter week (unusually high and El Ninoesque) providing for early melting of the mountain snows that enhance the very waters that we will be fishing in late June and early July. Soon, as we have done in prior years, we will be keeping a chart of the annual runoff status which will tell us weeks in advance of the water levels and conditions that we can expect upon your arrival(s). By all accounts (and as "Big Ben" Lamb and I experienced first hand a week ago Sunday on "the Root"), it will be an early Montana spring and, unlike last year [when things unfolded exactly one month later than normal (whatever that is, nowadays)], fishing opportunities more than likely will unfold one month early, putting us right in the heart of Montana's summer fishing--a beautiful thing, indeed.
Welcome aboard all 66 of you; strap it on as you are in for one extravagant ride!!
