  1. I thought merthiolate was southern for pink?
  2. I'm almost 50 and broke two ribs in two spots each skateboarding. I fell doing a frontside trick in the halfpipe and it was actually my elbow pad that got me under my left man boob. They said they could tape it up for me, but I refused, and white knuckled it through every laugh, cough, sneeze, and hug. I was back at it in a week, and it's still sore but I'll be back at it again this Sunday. The people posting here with shoulder injuries and shoulder surgeries are 10x as tough as me. I don't know anyone that said it was easy.
  3. Pink works man! There are a ton of them dating back to when they were call "plugs." Mostly marketed to salmon/steelheaders, who do not share the hesitance to use pink.
  4. I'd like what she's smoking.
  5. You caught an Ewok?
  6. I'm gonna eat a piece of cheese. It's so YELLOW.
  7. Not at all, make sure you write your SS on the back of them for quicker processing.
  8. I like the type of switch that engages the spool, rather than one that you have to hold the thumb bar down in order to cast. Even better is the old Daiwa TD flipping reels with just a switch on the top. They only come on lefty, and they work great. Mine are at least 20 years old.
  9. That's surprising. For every job I've had in my life, the employer paid for disability insurance, so cost is zero. It must be a local practice or something, but I was told because the employer has more buying power, the prices are lower, just like other benefit offerings, which are usually purchased as a bundle through a broker.
  10. I got a bunch after the new Xbox account too.
  11. Have you used that email to register somewhere new? My wife used my email to register for a raffle and all of a sudden I was getting all sorts of stuff.
  12. I really liked that Dauntless design, which is what initially attracted me to the segment. The new design looks like everyone else's design. The Caymas on the other hand seems like they were building it with me in mind. I must not be the only one.
  13. I didn't care for the updates. Looked like the compromised a lot of the fish ability for comfort features. I'm m hot on that Caymas now.
  14. Just asked my HR manager wife. It is mandatory for employers to offer it, but not mandatory for the EE to enroll. It's so cheap, it's a no brainer.
  15. Looks like a salmon teaser. That came out great.
  16. I definitely want to see some video. That's cool!
  17. I thought STD was federally mandated?
  18. This is a classic phishing scam. I get them more via text about my Amazon Prime account than anything else, but I've seen the Apple ID one as well. So far Gmail has been pretty good at blocking these altogether. You might want to consider a different email provider that offers better security.
  19. You shouldn't have to take PTO for this. This is what Short Term Disability and and Supplemental Disability insurance of for. I also get injury insurance, which costs very little but helps tremendously with paying any out of pocket expenses.
  20. Back in the 90s, I stepped on Billy Corgan's foot at a Cocteau Twins show in Buffalo, lol. I've had plenty of run ins with musicians, being one myself. Mostly we talked shop or about other things. Sometimes touring stories are exchanged. I've talked to a few pro anglers at various tournaments, but those encounters were on the water or back at the hotel, and I didn't want to distract them too much. I don't think I ever encountered any real hero's while fishing tho. Certainly not like a heart transplant surgeon. That's pretty cool.
  21. Make, model, and year would help. Is this some custom built deck?
  22. The surf guys cut them off so it wouldn't accidentally flip closed on a cast while hurling 6 oz. of pyramid lead into the mid Atlantic.
  23. J Francho replied to Sam's topic in Everything Else
    Sounds a bit hypocritical seeing as I still watch NFL, but this is the main reason I gave up on college football.
  24. I really like Santee Cooper. Stay at Black's Camp. A closer trip would Smith Mountain Lake, and a bonus is it's not that busy in April.
  25. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Storm_SuspenStrips_70_Strips/descpage-SSS.html Get some of these.
