Fantastic reel. I would argue one of the best that was ever made....and mine are collecting dust.

You've never stayed at a Motel 6 LOL I've stopped off at some real seedy motels in my travels. I think I'd rather skip meals and stay in a $100 a night hotel/motel than eat and stay in a $60 night hotel/motel

I fell asleep at a Foghat show, 30 years ago, at a bar. Worked 14 hours, picked up the wife(ex) and went to the show. Had a few beers and I really did fall asleep. Woke up at the end of the show to find the drummer was hitting on her. And now you all know my Foghat story....

A tragedy at a 4th of July parade in Northern IL this morning.

Getting better at bass fishing? I couldn't get any worse...

Guess that would depend on my schedule.

Define package.....

Probably. Was 93 yesterday

I'm no expert but I will say, if the fuel will get used up weekly or more, I'd say take a chance. If it's going to sit, don't bother. Ethanol is hydroscopic and will suck moisture into the fuel. I've never tried E85. I'll do an experiment next week. I use roughly 22 gallons a week, of 87 octane, to commute to and from work in the SuperDuty. I already filled up for next weeks commute but I will put a tank of E85 in, the following week, and see if the milage varies. I live in Crook County IL. As it is, I'm 15 minutes from a collar county and I fill up there weekly for a savings anywhere from $.50-$1.00 a gallon off of Crook County. I filled up today for $4.79 and E85 was $3.79

Nor the tools to work on such things

To suicide. Last week Tony's one and only 1099 employee came into the store. I asked where's Tony been? He said "He's going thru some hard times right now. His son committed suicide over a girl from the internet that he had never met". Told him to tell Tony to take care. 1099 came in today. "Tony F'ed everything up. He hung himself. His daughter found him hanging in the shed" I was taken aback. Tony was a "cup half full" kind of guy. Always a positive, roll with the punches, kind of guy. An entertaining story teller and from what I understand a very seasoned mechanic. Don't know if he had a wife but he is survived by 2 other children. For those of you that believe, lift a few prayers for his family. that they get thru these losses without anymore carnage. For all of you, stay involved in the lives of your loved ones. Make sure they know they are loved.

Right next to the bass

Not sure.

So says you... My sister bought the house on Lake Michigan last year. Had the dock put in the water and bought a new 23' Pontoon boat in the last few weeks. 2 days after she took delivery of the boat, they had tornadoes come thru the area. Her new boat was out on the water only once. Storms came thru and the wind and waves beached the boat. The USCG will fine them if they do not get the boat "unbeached" .

I'd be more impressed if they lasted more than 3 casts.

My cats used to eat the flies, now they just kill them and leave them laying by the windows. My daughters cat is fascinated by insects and plays with them. Worthless.

I watched him wring out the moisture in elephant dung and drink it. While I'm a sucker for a new exotic drink, a poogarita is a bit much.

Ya know...If you keep your windows closed and stop burning poo scented candles, the flies won't want to be in the house. Now that you have a cat, let her/him have at it. Young cats are insect assassins.

All part of the master plan. @deaknh03 is not the innocent man he portrays himself as.

WayneP left sometime ago. When @12poundbassoffers his pics for free, would you expect different?

You've never said such words about me....LOL Love you deak, just wish you'd stop sending me nude pics of @12poundbass

I carry a Gerber for opening boxes and whatnot at work and a Buck 110 Hunter for "not" work

It's called 4-5 year old soccer lessons. Well worth the price of admission. My grandson was the best player on the opposing team. Twice he got the ball right in front of the opponents goal and twice he kicked it back to his teams goal. Luckily it ended in a 1-1 tie and he scored the one and only goal for his team. Cherish the moments, they go by fast.
