Abu Garcia Max baitcasters
I fooled around with a Silver Max at Dick's last night. I wasn't impressed. Oh well, I guess they've got to have something on the market for the cheapo...

What's Wrong with this picture? Can of Worms
Free healthcare for all is not a right. And if you're paying $3500 a month for health insurance, then you're not shopping around. I would love to say more, but it just isn't worth it...

Energy saving bulb safety concerns
Mercury in and of itself isn't a bad thing. I wouldn't advise eating it or gargling with it, but other than that it is a harmless substance.

Is recession coming?
No. It's not even predicted. The Fed has predicted "a slow down in economic growth," not a reversal of economic growth. Until there is a reversal, there is no recession. US economic growth has been extremely brisk for the last few years. Unsustainably so. It has to slow down sooner or later. The predictions are for "moderate" growth next year. There are a lot of industrialized nations that would kill for "moderate growth." I doubt the Fed would want to be the one who started the sheep stampede. Better to let everyone think it is business as usual until the rugs are pulled.

Cold cold cold evening on SML
Hell, they were building a d**n dock where we got into the perch. Our rush wasn't helped when I moved up my departure by a day.

Is recession coming?
The housing market is in a slump. And once all the subprime loans start reverting to ARM's, there is going to be a load of bankruptcy.

3600, 3700 or Falcon boxes?
The Falcon boxes are wrong-sized. I use their terminal box, but that's about it. Even it isn't perfect. Too much play between the lid and the dividers allows small hooks to migrate from one compartment to the next.

Any One ever epxerience this?
Wipe it down. I've got two or three rods that have green cork. I expect to look like the Incredible Hulk for the first couple of trips after I put on new braid.

First ever baitcasting reel
If I may go on a bit of a tangent... :-/ I don't understand the whole 'beginner's combo' thing. If you're going to learn, at least learn on a quality piece of equipment. If that means spending $200, then so be it. :-/

Deer camp
Not a very good year. Only 1 deer and 2 turkeys killed on Saturday. I was pretty much the only one to see any deer. Monday was better though, with 10 or 11 brought in. I did my part by taking down two small does. Meat is meat. Only 11 in camp this year. Weather wasn't very cooperative and the deer were very spread out. Mast crop is amazing this year, especially given the dry conditions. Here's the game pole Monday night... And here's my home away from home...

Still Having MORE problems with Bass Pro Shops!!!
When ordering from BPS, pay for the faster shipping. That way it will get to you in about the same amount of time as regular shipping used to get you.

Handheld GPS Help
H20C Anything less would be uncivilized... Seriously, that thing plus HotMaps Pro is worth it's weight in gold, esp. if you run at night. Don't waste your money on a GPS unit unless it accepts aftermarket map cards.

10 things the DMV won't tell
I hate the ******* DMV with a passion usually reserved for ******* perverts and scalleywags. > My local DMV is quite devious. When you get your number, it has the time printed on it. They have a big digital clock on the wall behind the counter. The clock is about 5 minutes slower than that of the number printer. Therefore you think you've been waiting for less time than you actually have. Forget going postal, one of these days I may go DMV...
