The AC goes on when the wife says it does. End of story.

At least once per year. My most used reels may get done four times a year. It depends on usage, which depends on where I go.

I have a pair of 2004 size Daiwa Certates. Doesn't get much better than that.

I despise those type spools. I'd like to find the idiot who designed those and hang him up by his fruit. I use a sanding block and sand them all the way flat and flush.

That's a great spinnerbait. I have a bunch of them, and a bunch of Siebert Outdoors Cosmic double willows. Not sure which one I have more of. I hardly use any others, and I always have at least one spinnerbait tied on ready to go.

I have to ask; did you? Put a stripe in your skivvies, that is.

My iPad turns definitely into defiantly all the time.

If I lived every day like it was my last, the body count would be astonishing.

Neat idea Mick, and nicely realized. I'm gonna have to experiment with that.

A belated Happy Birthday to J FRANCHOW of the Internet.

Congrats flyfisher. You're beginning your teaching career as I'm ending mine. I have one heartfelt wish for you. May the joy of teaching never fade.

You're putting too much oomph into it. Back off a bit and see if that helps.

You can get fined for uniform violations and many players do every week. I think to get suspended though you have to do something pretty crazy in that realm. Lots of big money in what brand apparel a player can wear on the field, everything has to be NFL approved. I rest my case. It appears there is nothing too trivial that won't get somebody's panties in a wad. It's just a kids's game for Pete's sake.

Might be even better. I've planned to go with the E2 blank when I get time build one for myself. I'll be very interested to hear your review.

I for one have a hard time believing that this issue is still being debated, much less that it has resulted in fines and suspensions. This is simply silly, stupid, juvenile, petty, arbitrary; you pick the adjective of your choice, I no longer want to think about it. What's next? The entire team fined and suspended for wearing the wrong #$@%ing socks?

Not funny at all. Simply the result of a process of elimination. I've tried a lot of them, and for my one application, Invizx is what I thought worked best.

I've built three rods on Immortal blanks, none for myself, but I did have them out to give 'em a spin before they left my hands. All I can say is I think the Immortal series are the best bang-for-the-buck blanks you can find right now. They are very light and very sensitive. Seem to be strong as well. As far as durability goes, we'll have to wait and see. They haven't been out long enough to make that determination, but I'm betting they will hold up over time. They also offer a very wide selection of lengths, powers and actions. Kent, I think you're going to be happy with your new stick.

I don't like it. I don't like that it stretches and does not recover. I don't like that a small kink will drastically weaken it. I don't like how finicky I have to be about knots. The deficiencies of the line far outweigh the negligible benefits for almost all of my fishing. Having said that, I do use 4lb test Invizx when trout fishing. It's a little bit harder to see in the water. And the extra density helps with keeping the bait right off the bottom when drift fishing. Not big differences, but enough some times to make the difference between a two fish day and a 50 fish day. These are my opinions, based on my experiences, and they matter to me. If they don't matter to you, that is as it should be.

Bosn, I've been saying all of those things about flouro for quite some time. Just never all in one place. And never stated so concisely. Thanks

The entire concept is the product of a diseased mind.

Well, that's a bite. Can't say I haven't done the same thing. I've sent more than one to the "great fishin hole in the water".

Looks like 1968.

Just watched the fight. Floyd turned in an excellent tactical performance. Not everybody's cup o" tea, I know, but I can't complain about seeing one of the best ever ring generals doing what he does best. Manny spent a lot time looking confused. Floyd does that to everybody. And, poor old Freddie never gave any appropriate advice, that I heard. Him telling Manny "you're winning the fight", was a major mistake. Manny telling the world, after the fight, that he thought he won, made him as delusional as Freddie. Pacman spent most of the fight following Floyd around the ring. That's usually a recipe for failure. He could not get in position. His normally excellent footwork took the night off. I'm used to seeing him shift back and forth, faster than the other gut can react, to throw punches from angles. He apparently forgot how to do that, simply lunging in the try to land something. He sometimes did land, but of his lunges resulted in a Mayweather counter right to the kisser. Round 4 was Manny's best round. He clearly won that one. Round 6 was closer, but still Pacman's. Rounds 9 and 10 could have went either way, and the judges did just that. I gave 9 to Floyd, and 10 to Manny. I scored it 177-111. One judge had it 118-110, and the other two had it 116-112. Can't argue with any of the scores. And now, about the shoulder business. Don't think it mattered much. Floyd is too fast, too clever in the ring, too accurate a puncher, and too big for Pacquiao. I, for one, have no interest in a rematch.

It doesn't really make a difference to me. I'm going to grease "em up with megastrike anyway.
