Go Bills!
yeah, i turned the game off at halftime and did some projects that needed taken care of. I knew the ending would be the same as the last 9 years. I made a deal with the devil in 2010 during the 3rd quarter when they were playing pittsburg in the superbowl. I said let them win this game and i will never care if they dont win again. Done deal.?

How expensive is it to own a bass boat?(maintenance related)
this was my boat, no its not a bass boat, its a 1979 Glasstron Carlson 21 ft with a 460 cubic inch engine with a bekley jet drive. This boat was fast, loud and a chick magnet. I boated on the lakes of minnesota, moved to Las Vegas and ran lake Mead and the Grand Canyon and moved to San Francisco and ran on the delta. This boat which i enjoyed so many great times with broke me. I finally sold it when i lived in san fran, i just couldnt afford the storage fees to keep it at the delta, the fuel prices in calif in the year 2001 were like $3.50 a gallon and that big engine only got 2 mpg takin it easy. The cost and time of the repairs were draining me also. I did all my repairs myself, including rebuilding the jet drive replacing impellars, wear rings, the main shaft which is $400.00 stainlees steel part. Then the broken windshield, seats broke, steering cable, bilge pumps, batteries, new covers every year because the sun destroyed them.....and then the trailer tires, rollers, insurance, registration. I would like to buy a fishing boat but i know if i get a old aluminum boat or something fancy i am goin to be sticking money into it for repairs and for sure upgrades. There are also lakes here that i bank fish and wade that dont even have public ramps so i woudnt even be able to fish them from a boat and if i could get a boat on them i would probably end up where i bank fish from anyway. So the boat is out for me unless i won the lottery and could spend money and not worry. But then if i did win the lottery i would move to Florida and get a big 30 plus footer and go ocean fishing.

The ideal lunch?
i agree, need to chil out from the run and gun and i make it a priority to sit my butt down and eat a snack and it actually feels good at the time as it just feels like there is a load taken off my shoulders and a calming presence in my mind. I compare it to a road trip as you are on mile 345 and you keep saying i am going to stop at the next town to eat and then up comes the next town and you say well the next one and before merle haggard can sing his next song on the radio its 10 pm and you still havnt stopped.

LEWS KVD Split Ring tool eval
those look exactly like the one i bought for $5.00 at fleetfarm, i now believe these are mass marketed and many companies stick their name on it and kvd just stuck his name on them for the $$$.

LEWS KVD Split Ring tool eval
my unknown brand of cheap split ring pliers is an adventure to use. I wear glasses when using it to avoid getting an errant ring shot into my eye. There are a few rings laying arond the living room floor that took off on me and will find them with the vacuum cleaner one day.

The ideal lunch?
chicken soup is my favorite lunch to eat out on the banks, just open up the thermos and pour some into a bowl, sit down and look at nature and slurp it up.
