Thanks and I agree with all of that. Tank Needs a job - in Fact just about everything I do around the house, he think is his job too. Every time I can include him -I do. So he's up for anything and never wants to be left out. I love it. As for stimulation, for an indoor game , we have this 'easy button' we taught him to hit with his paw to make it sound off for a treat. Then we started hiding all over the house. Mostly in semi-plain sight at first but not to where he can see where or when we stash it. Then the command is "go hit the button". And off he goes - we never help him find it and sometimes it takes him 10-15 minutes of sniffing and checking everything in the house. But eventually we'll hear "That was Easy" and he'll come running to us all happy and mostly looking for his 'reward'. A-Jay

Nicely Done ~ It was only a matter of time. Congrats A-Jay

Push 1 today. Chest, Shoulders, Triceps & finished with some core work. #borninfiftynine https://youtu.be/DsIxLBQAvN8?feature=shared A-Jay

Oh this ought to be a good time ~ A-Jay

Haven't fished it yet but it Feels great in my hand . As a big time St Croix blank fan boy, and already having the last Avid X version, along with several from other ST Croix lines, I can not imagine a scenario where I would not love the thing. In fact after getting it I was already 'shopping' for a "M" spinner stick and even a couple of casting rods versions. For the price it's just very decent. Also I am moving away from split grips and any replacements made will be full cork. Just how I roll. A-Jay

Boat motor and trailer package prices may vary slightly from time to time. Might even save a few bucks. However I Never expect them to drop drastically. Ever. Especially to where something is not affordable now, but could be later. Nope. Life is short, get it now if you can. A-Jay

Heading out for the 'milk & bread' right after my workout this morning. Then we'll be hunkering down for a while. Probably fill the wood stove just in case too. A-Jay

OK and I would take that delicious flat fish in a Michigan Minute ~ ! Enjoy the Vac-Ca . . . A-Jay

Might have an empty seat ~ Any interest ? No solid dates yet, (Nov) but I'm hoping to have them very soon. A-Jay

There's something happening here ~ What it is ain't exactly clear . . . . . Might Be . . . Could it Be ? ? There's definitely a grumbling. A-Jay

Thanks and good for you. Nutrition is a biggie for sure. For me it's like the engine that drives the train. It might be just a mind set but when my diet & hydration are on point, just about everything else falls in line; training, recovery, sleep, appetite and most importantly, I don't want to waste my efforts so I can't wait to get back into the gym. I'm no spring chicken and I have no idea how long this will last, but I'm going to take it as far as this old bag of bones will allow. Stay Right my friend. A-Jay

Been around a while ~ A-Jay

Ah Yea, not really interested in coming back in the house just yet ~ #tankslife A-Jay

If I could only fish ONE flat-sided crank, it would be the 6th Sense Crush Flat 75X Crankbait in Baby Bluegill. A-Jay 10 years of reliable service for me. https://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/134908-favorite-square-bill/?do=findComment&comment=1500595

Just happen to click a pic of the spinning reels today prior to giving them some TLC. Some are a little older than others but I like them all and fish them pretty hard. Not a fan of double handles on spinners however. A-Jay

She's gassed up and ready to go ~ And Tank's always ready ~ A-Jay

We're getting typically hammered with lake effect - been coming down since 10 am. I've already got plans to blast away whatever's there in the morning to make room for the load that's coming. Everyday starting tomorrow and going straight through until Next Monday. Should end up with a couple of feet anyway. Ask me again why I have the AT4 ? A-Jay

The new workout starts with a Leg Day. Went well. I'll be interested to see how my humanness responds and recovers from these. Short term & long term. Time will tell. #borninfiftynine A-Jay

85 Days ~ Winters on it's way back to the local area . . . Seems most times the forecast calls for "locally higher amounts possible" that means waist deep drifts for us. Good times A-Jay

Any 1/2 oz plus single hook moving bait. It's no secret that I like a Mod fast stick. So where a lot of bassheads might prefer a MH or H fast graphite blank. I prefer this deal. Including bottom contact baits. A-Jay

I took a flyer on a couple of these sticks late last season. It's a TW branded number. I will keep this very btief and simple. I FREAKING LOVE THIS ROD. Matched with the Elite reel, I want to fish it all day. Sensative, parabolic with decent components. Love the full cork. IMO. for the $$$ it's the ultimate sleeper. Bottom line, and why I like it so much, it fishes like the sticks of years past. Actually loads on the cast, loads on the hookset and puts big fish in the net. With authority. Baits where that is benefical seem ideal. A-Jay

I don't fish the reg 110 jr. So I have no real world experience to pass on. Also my experience with the MB 110 +2 has been less than ideal. Baits casts and runs like I expected, plenty deep too. But I have not been able to get bites on them. Whatever the magic sauce is, I can't seem to tap into it. Accordingly I'll be selling them here in a month or so. Along with a fairly decent load of various other baits. A-Jay

Not sure a unit with 100K of who knows what kind of miles, that needs repairs can be considered a quality control issue. Irregardless, the 2024 GMC Sierra AT4 I am currently driving is anything but a nightmare. Awesome is considerably more appropiate. A-Jay

I have purchased a couple rods from Amazon a while back and that went OK. Interestingly enough, I have received I think 3 Shimano castings reels from TW that arrived not in a "factory sealed box". I've bought enough reels to know the difference. Meaning they were either demo's or returned items. Either way, not what I paid for so they were all returned. And I did get "New & Sealed' replacement reels without a problem. Buyer beware. A-Jay
