The only time I don't get out is if the water is iced over.

Winter Is Coming.....any Ice Heads
Last winter I had shoulder surgery and didn't get out until March. This year I'm getting out if the water isn't hard.

It Seems To Me
I have worked at the same place, and done the same thing for over 25 years now. I have had I guess around 10 bosses in that time. Some of them have been good, and some of them were back stabbers. It never took me long to figure out which type of boss I was working for. Point is that just because he is not giving you a "good job" all of the time does not mean he does not think you're doing a good job. It may just be the way he was taught to manage.

Fighting Back The Tears
It really gets you when they tell you to stay in the car. They don't need to be walked to class anymore.

What Is Shimano Going To Do Next?
Years ago when you bought a new product from a manufacturer you bought it because you had dealt with that company before and you knew what you were buying. Today with all the big companies trying to cut costs you never know what you are going to get. For me, brand loyalty is dead. I look around on the internet to see what others have to say before I make a purchase. If people are going to give the next Shimano line a good review I will buy one, but I will not buy one just because it is a Shimano.

Whats Your Favorite Way To Fish Wooded Areas?
Jig and pig. I would drop it straight down next to one of those trees that are still standing.

Cabelas
I am about 10 minutes from BPS and 15 minutes from Cabelas. I like BPS much better. They always seem to have more fishing items in stock than Cabelas does.

Spinnerbaits
I usually throw 1/4, or 3/8 oz. in white, or chart/white. I like to let it sink all the way to the bottom and then slow roll it back.

What Do You Collect Or Collected In The Past?
I use to collect hot wheels cars. I probably have about 125 of those things stashed away somewhere. Started collecting when they first came out in the late 60's.

The 4 Words Every Man Hates To Hear
After being married for almost 24 years the "we need to talk" speech turned into the "you need to listen" speech, which I get on a regular basis.

New Computer On The Way
Wed. night during the thunderstorm our computer got fried by lightning strike. Lost the PC, monitor, modem, and surge protector. Went up yesterday and ordered a low end gaming computer that should be ready toward the end of next week. I will have to get on BR from work for a while.

How Do You Store Your Small Hooks?
I keep mine in a washed out pill bottle. The hooks won't spill out, and you can put it in your pocket without getting stuck.

Baseball Cards
I collected a lot of football and baseball cards when I was a kid. I think that they may be in a shoebox somewhere in my parents house now.
