I came home from fishing this afternoon to find a new rod waiting on my front porch. Gblanks 6'10", med/xfast, IM8, spinning rod. Freakin' sweet! This rod was repayment for a favor and didn't cost me a cent. Then I checked the mail and found a check for $433. It was  my 2008 Oklahoma State tax refund (is that correct Burley?). What a day! Kinda makes up for the crappy fishing.

Holy crap that's awesome.  You'll just have to fight the Monkey even harder now though.   ;D
