Deak, gonna hijack again. Sorry. 5 days left folks. I've sweetened the pot a little.

Alright everybody, 5 days left. I've decided to sweeten the pot a little bit more. 2 packs of Kalin's Sizmic Shad which is what I use as a trailer on @Siebert Outdoors swim jigs, a pack of Kalin's Lunker Grubs, which can also be used with swimjigs, and a pack of Blackhawk Custom Baits creature bait. Your donations are going to a great cause. And for all you southern folks that have never heard of Kailin's baits, they are a staple bait in the Great Lakes and Midwest for smallmouth bass and walleye.

Rocks. Anything else is just wrong.

They were junk. My ex father-in-law had a first generation that was a 4 speed. Since you're from Chicago, you might appreciate this. My son was born in 1990. My ex wife and I lived in an apartment in Rogers Park. I had a truck that was in the body shop getting the windshield replaced, and was using my FIL's Firebird. Wife had a c section so they were in the hospital for a few days. I left the apartment to pick them up at Columbus Hospital which was in Lincoln Park. As I walk out the door, I see the drivers side door on the Firebird cracked open. I'm thinking "Great, the stereo is gone". I open the door and the steering wheel is laying on the floor mat. Scumbags tried popping the steering column and apparently tried a little too hard. I call my FIL who worked in Niles. He picks me up in the Fiero, I drive him back to work and then head to the hospital. I pick the 2 of them up, no car seat, in the 2 seater. I told my wife we're moving, I'm not going to raise a kid in the city. That was the one and only day my son was in the apartment. We packed up some things and I dropped them off at my mothers where they lived the next 2 months. I drove the Fiero back to my FIL's job, we went and picked up my truck, and I packed up the apartment and rode out the rest of the lease. Found an apartment in River Grove, on Grand Ave, which ended up no better than Chicago. Had a homeless guy that slept in the vestibule and a coked up stripper, her husband and his kid that lived next door to us. Shortly after the stripper threatened to kill my wife and my car got stolen, we bought a house in the residential end of River Grove. The next time I saw the homeless guy, he was a passenger in a car that drove into my house and almost ended up in bed with me and my wife. Fun times
