is fishing your "main" thing?
During the summer it is between fishing and dog training , during the fall it's all about the ducks . Also run a lot of hunt tests and field trials with the dogs during the summer

Things that people pay way too much for
As a real answer to your question - Tools - Why would anyone in their right mind spend money on the Snap-On , Matco ,or Mac truck , when they can run to sears and buy Craftsman ? With over $30,000 invested in tools , I can tell you why I spend the cash on them -- CONVIENCE . No running back in to the store if something breaks or needs fixed . The dealer is there every Wed. or Fri. to fix it or replace it . And some of it has to do with arrogance . Gotta have the best You can't be the best if you don't own the best regards -

beer of choice??
I prefer Coors Light , or Bud Light If I'm wanting to spend some extra cash then it's Leininkugels Honey Weiss or J.W. Dundee's Honey Brown

What were your most scary points in life...
1. When I found out I was going to be a dad at 19 2. Getting laid off from my job , I didn't think I'd find another job I'd like as much (boy was I right on that one) , luckly I was able to go back to the job I got laid off from . And I'm still happily employed there. 3. Getting Married 4. Getting Divorced 5. Then getting engaged to a real great gal, hoping this one doesn't turn out like the last one.

Da Bears? Da Trade?
Let's see here. 27 different starting QB's since '86. I think they made the right move on this one. At least now we have a real QB (hopefully). Anyone is better than Grossman. Now we just have to put some more recievers around him and I think we just might have a chance to make the playoffs and possibly go to another superbowl in a few years.

Quantum DS300CX reel schematic?
Is there a small "switch" on the non handle side ? If there is you need to slide it forward and rotate the plate . If not then let me know and I will run through the Quantum schematics that I have and see if I can find it for you . Tom

new to Peoria Il area
Mike - The state won't allow anyone to fish Double T until April 1st . It is closed and used as a goose and duck resting area until then. So IF someone has been fishing it anytime between Oct. till April they have been fishing it illegally.

Duck hunters-funny
I've seen the same tale on the dog sites I visit . The first time I read that one was about 5 years ago , so it's been around for awhile - Still get a good chuckle out of it . Note: had said dog been whistle trained to sit ,on a single whistle blast, then there wouldn't have been a ruined navigator Always hunt with a trained retriever regards -

Solo or group fishing -- your preference
I can do either or . On the weekdays it's just me (work 2nd shift so no one else is around) On the weekends I like to take my ol'lady and kids with me . Nothing like running back and forth taking big ol gills off the kids hooks .
