natto the most disgusting thing I've ever put in my mouth.

Amazon sells them. Be the best 30 bucks you've ever spent.

Oh Raider, where arc thou?

Got one word for you. Aeropress. It will make Folgers taste good, good coffee taste great, and great coffee taste awesome.

a little curve doesn't bother me. a lot of rods have a little curve near the tip. However, when looking down the rod, if i see slight "kink" instead of a curve, the rod is going back.

Make sure the IAR bearing is very lightly lubed with oil, not grease.

A full spool also has a little more mass, requiring more braking effort to slow it down.

Rooster, your brakes will have a little less effect when the spool is completely full. This would be due to the spool spining just a bit slower. The effect is more pronounced with centrifugal brakes, but mag brakes also exhibit the same behavior.

Mac, come by the cabin some time during the RoadTrip. I'll serve you the best cup of coffee you've ever had.

Electonics and communications. Nothing else even comes close.

If i had to guess, I'd say, the rooster did.

Sorry, Sam. I couldn't resist.

I know how to sear scallops, saute shrimp, poach lobster, steam crabs and fry fish, but I have no idea how to flex mussels. Give us a recipe please, detailing this technique.

I prefer this one. http://www2.knifecenter.com/item/TATCAP1P/tacticall-alpha-1-iphone-5-aluminum-case-polished-silver

PC is the idea one can pick up a turd by the clean end.

about 40 years ago i had one almost 10 feet tall

I think I would like to be Raider's press secretary. No one who has ever inhabited the White House has a greater need for a top shelf press liason that our own man Raider. So, I'll volunteer for the position, with one condition. I need a flak jacket for all appearances.

Never take sleeping pills and laxative the same night.

Based on your description, my advice would be to put it on the shelf until you can have it serviced. The longer you run it, in the condition it's in, the greater the chance of permanent damage. DVT charges a very reasonable fee for service work, but parts are not cheap.

I was going apply for Speaker of the House. I'm qualified. I can speak, and I have a house. But, my IQ is significantly higher than room temperature, which makes me completely unsuited for the job.

Mac, just how many is "we"? I can probably add two more, but that would be about it. Too much clean up to do if the crowd gets too big. Hang on to your cigars, buddy. I no longer smoke them. Used to, but not any more.

Aah, gotcha. Well, I will not be bringing any of that.

I usually don't mind, but if you hit me with a bait, expect to get a quick reply. I'm I guy who likes to return such compliments.

I hate it when I go out, make my first pitch, and the jig bounces off the water. The older I get, the more I despise winter.

Splain, Lucy.
