Car Repair Question
seems funny to me too that the control arms would need to be replaced unless the ball joint is molded into the arm or something which i havent really seen...and really you can go down to autozone or most other auto parts stores and they will loan you tools for free just put a deposit also the way mechanics work is they have a book and it says how many hours each job should take..thats how much they charge but they usually dont account for the fact that they will already have everything off so they can replace multiple parts at the same time saving a lot of time

Car Repair Question
get another opinion and if you do need all that get the control arms with ball joints already in them and check out rockauto.com because wow 3k for a couple hours job is crazy i would do it myself and get the alignment close and take it to a shop just for alignment edit: checked rock auto and you are looking at around $650 shipped for parts lol

How Far Can You Cast?
it really depends on the rod, reel and weight on throwing....also whether the reel has a level wind or not(non levelwind reels can cast further and you can lay the line on more at an angle to get it to peel off the reel faster) etc etc...not sure when im bass fishing but flats fishing im using an 8ft rod with a fast action that will throw more than 40 yards and surf casting we are using 13 or 14ft rods and non levelwind reels hitting over 100 yards easy (all are also custom rods) we know we are casting these distances cause we used to mess around on soccer fields with line counters and those wheel counters that electricians and such use

"Dad, do you believe banks are successfully attacked and held ransom that frequently and the media would not get wind of it; they would have to report every successful attack"..... "postings of bank black mail are here-say of urban rumor" "Yes banks receive thousands of attempts, but todays software is strong, networked, and intelligent to profile the attacker...... ^^that kind of thinking is exactly why its so easy to do it...and the fbi regularly complains about banks not reporting the attacks because it would get out and who would put their money in a bank like this? the fbi says 10%(not positive on this number but its very low) of attacks get reported and beg all banks to report the attacks but they just dont do it...also a lot of exploits tunnel through all that security...you can also look up man in the middle attacks that have been around since the 80s and see why you can still do it today

Golf Course Pond
i have found some of my biggest bass 10lbs+ on a golf course right down the street from me in the smallest lakes on the course lol....they usually stock them to keep the water alive or so...and mostly no one fishes them also be careful if the course is open we have had golf balls hit the trees above us and land at our feet..now they ripped up the golf course and made it into a park and took out all the lakes and made a big canal and stocked it with tiny bass was illegal to fish there anyway but they just tell you to leave lol

Water Clarity When Choosing Lure Color
- An Apology To Roadwarrior
ive gotten bad spools of line from the factory a few times...havent tried seaguar but ive had bad spools from stren, ande, berkley, powerpro and spiderwire they all were weird looking on the spool when i first opened them and broke easily without being spooled up for the powerpro and spiderwire they looked very normal no frays or anything but i always pull some off the spool before i spool up and test it to see if it breaks by hand or not and inspect it real quick to make sure it looks ok...well when i pulled it by hand a small amount(i was doing to 50lb powerpro and cant remember what test spiderwire) but it broke very easily so i pulled more off the spool and the same thing happened through about 3/4 of the spool remember now this line was just opened and was pulled out of the package and the line never went through a cutter or touched the outside of the spool etc and was never put on a reel etc...only happened with 2 spools of pp and one of spiderwire(i didnt use spiderwire very long) but it did happen- Just Refurbished A Hula Popper
i recently did the same was missing the tail and all so i made it nice again and now i cant catch anything off it lol- Nice Flounder
