The Purple Cow Mike's Intimidator Challenge
When I was in Wyoming me and 4 of my buddies had a bit of a tradition going. We would get hammered on Saturday night, wake up around 10, and drive 64 miles one way to Walden, Colorado to have a 1lb Owl Burger at the only restaraunt in the podunk town. Nothing cures a hangover like 1 full pound of greasy hamburger.

Where can I move?
Screw California. I think most people's idea of the fishing out here is soooooo over inflated. I want to move BAD. For bass fishing, I would go to Texas, but I dont think bass fishing is even a consideration for my next move. I'm thinking of going back to Colorado, but a completely different part of the state from where I grew up.

Just me??
We'd fry up between 200 and 500 pairs of RMO's the day after branding every year. They can be pretty good. Lightly breaded, little bit of hot sauce.

Check this out.......
Ditch the camo rockers. Youve got a real clean and understated look. Thats sooo much cooler than all the tacky little add on stuff. Im pretty sure I have taken more stuff off of my truck than i have put on it. No badges, door ding strips, decals, dump exhaust in front of the rear axle, no antenna, no warning decals on my visors and seat belts, hell I ever took both door panels all the way off just so i could flip the door lock slider so that i didnt have to look at that little orange strip while i was driving, lol. Be careful going through that little I one town on the way to smallie land. Got a window tint ticket there last year. Since I am hard headed and love my tint, I payed the $140 and kept the tint instead of having it removed and paying the $10 fix-it ticket, lol. But theyll pop you there for sure. I drive through at 6 am in January with the windows down now ;D

Mechanic help please.
Ask them for an itemized estimate and compare prices of OEM parts online. Unless you were getting 4 new rotors, the brake job is over priced. the 60k would depend largely on what they do. quickly pulled off of a volvo forum: Replace Oil & Filter Change Air Cleaner Filter Change Replace Spark Plugs Replace pollen Filter Then they just inspect a bunch of stuff and would charge you more for parts and labor. Since I know for a fact that you are male, you should be able to change three filters, add oil, and replace plugs. Dont know how much parts would cost but it couldnt be more than $150

Bar Jokes
A length of rope walks into a bar and asks for a drink. Bartender replies " Sorry, we dont serve ropes here" Dejectedly the rope walks out the door into the street and is hit by a passing truck. The truck drags him down the street a couple blocks, tangling him up and beating the crap out of him. He walks back into the bar and asks the bartender for a drink. Bartender replies "Hey, arent you that rope that was just in here?" Rope " Nope, i'm a frayed knot"

fanny bag for walkin fisherman?
Even when I am fly fishing, I cant bring myself to wear a fishing vest. For the 1% of people that do not fall under the blanket cast by this next statement, I apologize ;D Everytime I see someone wearing a fishing vest I think " What a yuppie/ wannabe/tool. With some of my fly waters so close to the bay area, you get a LOT of guys with high end Sages, $400 dollar waders, ornate vests, and the thousands of dollars worth of accessories decorating their person. These are the guys that have no idea what they are doing, but really want to seem like they do. Most typically they drive a subaru wagon or a Range. I dont bother talking to these people. Id rather wear a manny pack and wet wade then be lumped in with those jackasses. Its the guys driving the beat up truck, with a ratty chest pack and faded waders, that are carrying the high end sage, those are the guys I want to talk fishin with. Id rather wear a manny pack and wet wade then be lumped in with those jackasses.

Water Soaked Electronics
Did it ever quit working for a time? The first time, I let it dry for 2 days without turning it on. After that, i usually let it dry for 8 hours - 24 hours and it would work. I got it working an hour after a full submersion one time.

best line for swimbaits ??
As many have mentioned, the memory on 25 and 30lb CXX is no joke. If you use 20lb, you need a 300 size reel, for 25 and 30 a 400 is a must. KVD L&L really helps, but it has spurred some serious doubts for me in the knot strength category. Personally, I just deal with the memory, because the other attributes are soooooo worth it. Down around freezing, its a slinky,but at 60ish, its plenty manageable given the size of the baits. As soon as it soaks up with water, and you pull on a couple of snags, it will settle down for the rest of the day.

Water Soaked Electronics
I dropped/submerged the same phone in water 6 times last summer and fall. It still works. I will have to try the rice trick next time.

best line for swimbaits ??
20, 25, and 30 lb Pline CXX. I keep trying other crap and suffering the consequences. Using other stuff I have casted off, broke off fish, and broke off on snags way too easy, for a grand total of about $300 worth of baits and fish big enough to choke 8oz baits > I was fortunate enough to get three identical baits, that are not available to purchase, only guy with them in NorCal, and I have casted 2 of them off in 2 weeks. Thanks alot Trilene Big Game, and Braid/leader. I will never try a different line again.

LOL, Sam, explain to me how not drinking beer will keep you from paying for a funeral. Seems to me that that expense may be the only one in the world that is inevitable.
