Props to Kieth and Chris. Ya know .... I am having trouble finding a Loomis GLX Jig/Worm rod and a Chronarch 50mg to pair it up with. ;D ;D ;D

fishing space
That's kinda cool. I signed up. It looks like it's in the beginning stages. It will be cool if it takes off.

No, but I have seen him for other things in the past though ..... moles, warts, etc

Nope no change in medication ... don't take anything. There has no change in hygiene products either. No other symptoms either, other than being pretty stressed lately with school (finals time). I read that can contribute to break outs like this. If I still have it early part of next week I will probably take your advice and bite the bullet and go to an urgent care. I just took a couple Benadryls. We'll see if that does anything.

And the bumps on my fore arm. Again the rash is VERY faint, but if you run your finger over it, it kind of has the feel of goosebumps.

My left palm ..... notice the leathery, wrinlkly, old look. It also kind of has a shine too it that my other hand doesn't have.

I know this a taking a COMPLETE shot in the dark, but I called my dermatologist yesterday and the soonest he could get me in was mid-January So here goes ................. I have this rash that is on select places on my body ........ my right calf, a spot on my back, a spot on my chest, and the inside of my left and right forearm. They are just a group of a bunch of tiny bumps. Really not all that noticeable being just a little more red than my skin. The only way you can really see/feel them is if you run your hand over the area. It kind of feels like a group of goosebumps. For the most part it doesn't itch all that bad. Now far the part I am most concerned with ..... my left hand and left hand only. A few days ago the inside of one of my fingers started to itch and it kind of started to wrinkle. I wrote it off as dry skin. Well now it has spread to my whole palm. My palm kind of looks like it's aged 40+ years over a few day span. It's turned kind of leathery and looks as if it might be starting to crack in a couple spots. Remember this is only on my left hand. I've scoured the internet looking for anything resembling this and have come up "empty handed" ..lol I did read though that rashes may appear because of stress ............ which I have been the last week or so. I am hoping this is what it is and it will disappear after finals. I know this is a huge shot in the dark, but BassResource.com has become your one stop shop for everyhthing. BTW - There has been no change of soap, shampoo, laundry detergent, medication, etc Here are a few pics: The inside of my finger where it all started

General opinions on Pflueger reels?
I had a President ( for about a year) and it was a good reel for casting light baits. Durabilty was an issue though..

Ain't It the Truth
It's not the laws .... it's the people and lawyers trying to make a buck anyway they can. My grandpa and I get into this discussion all the time, most recently Thanksgiving. He told me of a story when he was a little boy .... around 7 years old or so. His dad let him sit on his lap and drive the car. Well one time he accidentally hit a mail man pretty good and broke some of his ribs. My great grandfather supposedly got out and apologized up and down and the mail man accepted his apology and supposedly even got a laugh out of it. My great grandfather was the local barber and offered him some free haircuts even though the mailman had completely accepted the apology. Could you imagine what would happen today in that situation?????? There's more though ....... The mailman came in for the next year for his free haircuts where my grandfather also worked. Keep in mind he is 7 years old (wouldn't happen today) He swept the floors and shined shoes. Every time the mailman would come in my grandpa would shine his shoes and tip him what it would have cost him for a haircut. He told him each time to save up for his first car and got a good laugh at it.

Ebay advice
Definitely sounds sketchy. There are quite a few (just did a quick peek) PS3's on Ebay with a "Buy it Now" option SIGNIFIGANTLY less than what they are offering you. I don't know what they could be pulling, but BEWARE

Steez or Stella?

My dream car...
I know what you mean. I had a bunch of "ricers" in high school (when rice grinders were big, kind of seems like that trend is going away) that always wanted to race me in my IROC. I always refused because I didn't want another ticket. I got one the first day I drove the car to school for doing a fish tail out of the parking lot ..... right in front of a cop. Yeah ......... real smart. My parents took the car that I JUST got away from me for a month (that was the deal before I bought the car). Anyways I told them if they wanted to race me they would have to go to the "Open" night a drag strip in the area. Let's just say they shut up after that night and it made the $1000's they poured into their CRX's and Civics look stupid. But I know what you mean. I used to have rice grinders pull up to me all the time at stop lights reving their engine wanting to race. Most of the time I didn't cooperate, but the times I did it was no contest. 9 out of 10 of those cars are all show and no go. It's like trying to take an economy car and justify it as a muscle car. But it also goes the other way around. One of my best friends has a 1967(I think) Nova SS. He always tried to justify it as being a "good" economical car. About 50% of the time he was hitching rides to school and if it snowed he definetly had no chance of getting there. He now has a Camry as a daily driver and has put in A LOT of work on the Nova and drives it for fun and as a weekend car ....... which is what they are IMO. He also has a full time job and enjoys working on it.

bass trackers, in your opinion
Good entry level boats. In my opinion they are a great boat for smaller waters (like you are talking about) and good to break you in before upgrading to a glass boat. That is what I am hoping to do ....... hopefully with in the year. Buy a Tracker and learn the ins and outs of boat ownership for a few years and then step up to a glass boat.

How accurate are weight calculators? Hmmm...
check em' out on Ebay. I got my significantly less that what they are in the stores. Cool features and accurate. I test mine about once a month with a 5 and 10 lbs weight I have in the garage. Dead on everytime so far in the year I have had it.

My dream car...
To late.....I tried. : Hondas........................THE WORST car manufacturer ever. I hate them with a passion. You would have to pay me money to destroy one. Thats how much I hate them. ;D PLEASE explain. I am not into all the rice grinder stuff (just stupid), but I have a 1992 Honda Accord ......... a tad over 200,000 miles on it. All I do is change the oil, tires, and gas (27-30 mpg). That's all the money I have ever spent on it. I bought it when I was 16 and then about 6 months later I bought an immaculate 1990 IROC-Z28 Camaro. I drove that all through out high school. My first semester in college I decided that I really needed the extra money so I sold the Camaro. I only drove that car for basically 2 1/2 years and I bet I spent at least twice as much as I have spent on the Accord in 8 years. For just the purpose of getting from point A to B economically and worry free, I don't think there is a better car out there. You will see that "muscle" cars just become a money pit. That's fine if you have a full time job and like messing with that stuff, but as a student .... that is not what you want. Sure, when I graduate I will probably buy a newer truck or SUV (if Honda would make a V8 that's the way I would go), but no way in hell will I get rid of my Accord. I will drive that thing until it's dead and at the rate it's going, it will be another 200,000 miles at least

Deepest you have ever fished?
Most of the lakes I fish on a regular basis don't get deeper than 50 ft. The deepest I fish is around 25 ft. I have however fished a few strip pits in SE Kansas that are extremely deep. Like in a matter of 15 - 20 ft from the bank you can be in 100+ ft of water.

went and did it
It's always exciting to start something new, but boy will you be glad when it's over. You can have my seat .............. I'm outta here ;D ;D Finally Good Luck!!!!!

How accurate are weight calculators? Hmmm...
http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/spdest/visitorcenters/tffc/budsharelunker/archives/index.phtml?seas=20&Submit=Go I just did about the first 5 or 6 on the list. All of them under shot and most by pretty large margins 1 lbs to 3+ lbs. I know that the calculator is just an estimate, but I am not so sure it is even that great at that. Best thing to do is buy a scale. It's a CHEAP price to pay for peace of mind.

I have applied the weight calculator to SAL's in the past and it seems the weight calculator under shoots them just about everytime.
