  1. “Work hard, play hard” served me well, even after I quit drinking. I know what I accomplished in 40 years of my working life and that’s good enough for me.
  2. As long as it hasn’t become thick (like honey) or become thin (like water) I wouldn’t hesitate to use it. Put a drop on your finger and see if it’s slippery. Heck, I’ll use old open bottles of motor oil and not think twice. It’s just reel oil.
  3. I just went as far as checkout, and used BELK50 and it applied the 50% off. Didn’t finish checking out because I’m not done yet.
  4. I just tried Sycamore50 and it worked. 2 minutes ago.
  5. Some people will provoke a fight hoping you’ll react so that they can sue you. I almost smacked the most anal, obnoxious neighbor I ever had. He’s gone now, but not before he cost his immediate next door neighbor thousands in court. Unfortunately, people like your neighbor and mine are becoming more common every day.
  6. Don’t need a reel, but a RevoSX for $90 shipped was too good to pass up.
  7. I like Randy Blaukut and have watched alot of his videos. He’s not real fond of the direction professional bass fishing has taken. So what? I’d hardly call him a whiner just because his opinion is different from mine/yours. And if you’ve never watched his videos, you’re just parroting someone elses thoughts. I dislike Jacob Wheeler. So what? At the mention of Blaukut, the responses are so predictable - kind of like MSM.
  8. It’s a Wonderful Life and the original Miracle on 34th Street.
  9. After losses, USC and TCU have to drop out of the top 4. That leave 2 holes. Just the way it is.
  10. Anyone but ‘Bama.
  11. https://stcroixrodfactorystore.com/collections/cad-2022-retired-rods
  12. Couldn’t pass them up. $1.99 a bag and even picked up a few Joy Sticks. They look like they have a somewhat flatter body and might make excellent trailers.
  13. A 75” TV. She’s been hounding me for months!
  14. In an ultrasonic cleaner I wouldn’t be surprised if you could get away with something as mild as Dawn dishwashing liquid or some similarly mild cleaner. I used an ultrasonic cleaner at work for years on corroded/dirty parts and I never ceased to be amazed at the results. Tractor Supply probably has some kind of industrial cleaner that you mix 10:1 and rinse with water.
  15. Toss up between Dobyns Kaden 744c and Tatula Elite 7’2” Randy Howell.
  16. My first baitcaster was right handed. Having used only spinning gear up to that point, switching hands and cranking with my right hand was just too awkward. I sold that reel and I’ve used left handed ever since. I don’t think it matters which hand you use, as long as you like it. For me, I couldn’t overcome 30 years of using spinning reels.
  17. After learning that I missed out on those half priced Lews Custom Pros at Omnia, any enthusiasm I had is gone. Should have checked my email.
  18. In VA our game wardens have the same authority as our State Police. I had a game warden pull me over on my motorcycle and was tempted to tell him to mind his own business. Luckily I kept my mouth shut. Later, I was telling the story to a friend and he explained to me about game wardens in VA.
  19. Buy a swimbait rod. For a 2oz. swimbait I'd want a rod rated 1-4oz minimum, preferably even higher. Throwing swimbaits, an inadequate rod bothers me alot more than a less than perfect reel. I use an old Abu C4 with no problems - my rod however, is not the greatest. If I threw more big swimbaits I'd be looking for a rod rather than a reel.
  20. My Mom’s roast beef and mashed potatoes. I sure do miss it.
  21. 31 years and I don’t know squat about relationships. Do unto others…..works for me.
  22. If Rodgers was on the fence about retirement, I think he has to be leaning that way now. He’s hangin’ out with some weirdo chick and eating hallucinogens for cryin’ out loud. I don’t think that football is a priority for him anymore.
  23. Mowing 7 acres would take half a day at least. Unless you’re retired I wouldn’t consider it.
  24. Kistler does this sometimes. ALX?
