thanks muddy ,i emailed rw last week and he told me to go for it , having never spent so much on a rod before im trying to talk myself into buying it.

well yesterday was my birthday and i accumulated $150.00 some of it in basss pro shop gift cards and i got some thinking to do i could go to bps and look around but im pretty stocked up from xmas or i have a customer selling a slightly used st croix legend elite 7ft med spinning rod for sale for $200.00 i was going to replace my slightly used shimano crucial rod with this st croix rod but was wondering ive been reluctant to pull the trigger since ive never owned such a high end rod is there such a big difference in sensitivity from a crucial rod ? i mostly fish with worms (senko) a small grub type jigs .my customer im sure would let me take it out and try it but the ice around here wouldnt be thawed until late march . for all you high end rod owners is there a big sesitivity difference for the money ? what would you do?

-7 outside here when it gets this bitter i leave the kitchen faucet drip because it freezes in my 5 year old townhouse .i woke up a 2.30 am and checked the faucet cold water fine, hot side froze got so ticked i started taking off the drywall in the unheated garage below looking for the copper lines only to find they are up above the header. i guess running behind the kitchen counter and stove i guess i will wait for the sun to warm up the outside wall ive ripped out enough drywall. how many days till spring ?

those pictures sure bring back some memories . i remember when i was a little kid coming home from school there was a gas station on the way home that had one of those bell hoses i remember jumping up and down a bunch of times making it ring and ring and this old man comes out from under a truck screaming GOD *AM YOU KIDS GET OUTTA HERE.

im guessing a bow tech model no 36 double d

you could try doing some rotator cuff excercises and see if that helps .type in rotator cuff excercises on the computer or even go to you tube and you will see some videos of people showing the correct way to do them .

for those of you who are struggling with weight problems walking is a great thing to do every day,try going for a walk in the evenings most people are inactive at night even a 20 min walkaround your neigberhood after dinner can help alot . ever think about buying some dumbellls or weights because the more muscle you have the more calories you will burn throughout the day. i tell some of my friends to write down everything they eat throughout the day alot of people are amazed at the empty calories they consume look at what youre eating on the list and replace it with a healthier altenative. eat mostly live foods oatmeal wholewheat bread skim milk eggs chicken salmon frozen vegetables fruit etc try and stay away from processed packaged foods eat small portions of healthy food every 3 hrs and eat most of youre calories when youre active throughout the day, eat sparingly in the evening when youre least active and get rid of the junk in the house so youre not tempted. its ok to splurge once in awhile just keep it to a minnimum. sorry about rambling i have a twin brother who has always been big and broke his ankle last year and balloned up to the point where he wanted to get life insurance, last week they came to the house to weigh him and refused to insure him a big eye opener for him. for years ive been trying to get him to eat right and excercise. we work together and i love him to death and my biggest fear is that he may die if he doesnt lose some of this weight

how about when youre sitting at the stoplight and the guy next to you is sitting in his car puffing away WITH THE WINDOWS ROLLED UP. ugh

thanks for asking that question t rage ive learned alot from these replys myself .

im trying to recall if ive eaten anything healthy the past week i just got done polishing off some dip my wifes daughter makes up it has creme cheese with crab on top of it with cocktail sauce poured on top of it . i got one of those russell stover choclate assorments and consumed a good portion of the top half this afternoon . im glad im not having any blood work done this week, gotta go, time for a nap.

my sister in law told me last night about an incident at the dunkin donut down the street from our business .when she drove up to the drive up window the young girl who usualy waits on her came to the window crying. my sister in law said oh my god whats wrong and she said she just got a 100.00 dollar tip from a customer. the young cashier said this lady came in and during small talk the young cashier was telling her that she was counting on this next paycheck because she needed every penny to buy her daughter this present she wanted so this lady went home and came back with a 100.00 dollar bill and handed it to her and said ,please take this because i have alot of money.

how about a chia pet, the stores are loaded with them this time of year

im so sorry to hear of such a terrible accident my prayers sent to all of those affected

my wife and all her sisters got together and had a christmas cookie bake off ,i got this big tin filled with all kinds of assorted cookies. ive been widdleing away at it the past few nights that stuff is so addicting.

can you imagine getting up in the middle of the night to go pee flipping on the light and having something like spider no 2 on the wall next to the light switch . merry christmas.

congrats ,what a great story, what an inspiration he is.

it seems alot of us are getting the same cold front coming thru. here in illinois by chicago it was supposed to get around 60 for the high and around midnight the temps are supposed to drop way down with freezing drizzle crap.
