Bassn Blvd

Thank you Burley!! Even though you make one ugly Santa Clause, I have to give you credit on your gift selection. Thank you very Much....

I am a Deputy Sheriff in Florida. Here are the figures. I have been with the agency 21 yrs. I will make just over 100k this year which includes about 75 hours of over time, maybe 100 at tops. I have 340 hours of saved vacation hours and can carry up to 500 w/out losing any at the end of the year. I have 68 hours comp and 120 hours holiday comp saved. Any comp over 120 hours at end of the year is converted into cash. I have 700+ hours of saved sick time, I have given away approx 200 hours over the years to fellow officers. We have a 25 yrs and out which means you can retire after 25 yrs of service and collect retirement even though you haven't reached normal retirement age. You will collect 3% for every year you work. So if you work 25 yrs then you will collect 75% of your top 5 highest paid years. Example: If I had 25 yrs in as of today and making 100k, then I would retire with 75k a year. I plan on doing 30 yrs and retiring with 90% of my pay. I will be 52 yrs old. (only 9 more yrs to go, yahoooo) When I retiree I will get a check for all my comp, holiday comp, vacation up to 500 hrs and sick up to I think 1000 hours paid at my hourly rate. Anything over 1000 hrs is paid at 50% your hourly rate. That means a New Ranger with my comp, vacation and sick time payout. Or truck. Or invest it. Not bad either way. Not all agencies have the same retirement plans or benefits so do your homework before applying. But I have been shot at, had 3 concussions, 13 accidents (not at fault), 1 divorce, hospitalized, spit on (and yes they went to jail), countless fights and a host of other BS too. There are much more benefits (money wise) that I haven't covered but these are the basics.

That was great. It's sounds like something right out of a Jerry Clower tape.

I've had it. The excuse "well, he's 16 years old" ain't cutting anymore. I went to get MY cherry nut vanilla ice cream only to discover it gone. I should wake his A** up and beat the CR** out of him. I should take his lunch money away too. I bought him his cookies and cream and cherry nut for me. He ate his then devoured mine. I only had 2 bowls worth. Boy am I madder than he** right now. If only my TASER was charged right now.

Don't beat me up on this but I think that kid looks like Damien, from the movie.

PB&J (grape) and now it's time for the Cherry Nut Vanilla Ice Cream..... I'm gonna have to get more HP on the boat if I keep eating like this..

They retail at $355. I'd say it would be a deal I couldn't pass up.

I think we have a winner!

Cat killing. What's that?

No crapping in the livewell.

Nope, not poptarts but Panettone Italian raisin bread. The box says raisin bread but I think it's more like fruit bread. This stuff is addicting.

You should be proficient casting left or right handed.

I've got 3 packs of Gene Larew 12 inchers just the other day. The bass here in Florida love'em.

Is that why they're so good. Poptarts and Shimanos, don't get no better.

OUCH. KO in the 1st.

MmmmmmmmGOOOOOOOOOOOD

I was going to lick my finger and scoop it but the wife threatened me with unspeakable/thinkable things.

Uh, sorry to break it to ya but we're not in the Amazon. We're in Florida where Lm out weigh P-***** by 3 pounds on average.

A Blow up doll????

Now now Fluke, it's not nice to tease our feller bass brothers who aren't blessed as well as we are..

It's a good price. Come on Burley, lets each buy one together. Come on dude. You can do it. Break out the plastic. 180 bucks! MMMMMMMMSweet.

Same here. Nice site

try Arid Extra Dry..

Tackle warehouse has them for $181. Does any one know where you can them cheaper, new of course? I'm going to break down and get another. I'm not waiting till Spring for the new Shimano line to come out :'( . Hold on a minute please. O.K, I'm back. Sorry about that but I had to lock the Bait Monkey outside. Now where were we? Oh yea, buying a new reel. Someone please help me! The monkey broke in through the window and is carrying a new Loomis Cranking stick. STOP! GET OUT! Leave me alone before I call animal rescue on your furry butt. Geez I hate this monkey.

Congrats Muddy man. Go celebrate with a bid ol' meatball parm sub and ice cold Pepsi. I'll toast my poptart to ya.
