My wonderful girlfriend surprised me with tickets to Lyle Lovett last night. Have a fun and safe weekend on the water, everybody!

I saw him at Daniel Lanois' Harvest Picnic last year and enjoyed his set, but the whole time I found myself wishing he'd let 'er rip and play some Hip material.....

Glad it's all worked out, pal. enjoy your vacation!

That was great, nice find, Spiel!

You have the luxury of a number of choices. I will vouch for Abu rods, at least the Veritas. I have a 7ft mh and it usually has a Super Shad Rap on it, which is heavier than the rating for the rod, and it's held up well. I also have a 6'6 Rapala R-type in a two price that has served me very well. The most irritating thing about two price rods to me is when they twist in the ferrule. The R-type doesn't. My Abu is a one piece, but I believe it's available in a two price. Happy Shopping!

I may have posted this before, but I think it fits in with the last few (excellent) selections....

Mr, Campbell is in tough these days, but even later in his career, still an amazing talent.

Mike, this a right of passage, and there are several that you cannot ever be prepared for, but you will learn to handle. I remember the first time I saw my father using a walker, but it was I who was most staggered at the time. My omnipotent Dad was mortal. It was devastating to me. During that time, both my parents were were very ill, for a couple of years. I don't see it as a good experience, but in my eyes, it made my older brother into the man he had hoped to be. Both of us weighed in and cared for them, their affairs. It's a difficult task that will better you in a number of ways, by day's end.

Thanks pal, most of us were talking about the 60s!, maybe earlier! Personally, I enjoy my brews from a glass, though.....

A Zebco spincaster, later, a Mitchell 300.....

I remember 'em all, but Verner's was a breed apart! That said, as a tyke, I used to love getting one of those little (absolutely freezing) bottles of Coke from the vending machine....

If you can find stock, that's a good price for one of the best bang-for-your-buck spinning reels reels out there.

Nice!

My dad gave me a Sabatier kitchen knife years ago. He was a wise man. If I had a budget, and wanted to replace my old reliable Rapala, I would get one of these: My link

Everybody out of the pool!

Wate-access only, mind you..... The Massasauga

That's brutal! ...but funny

Well, Skip, it looks like a grown-up boat, hopefully, not too much of a grown-up project. I guess with the 350, surely getting parts should be no problem?

Nice night for a run in the car abysmal quality video, but it was 1988, after all....

Beauty, looks like great cover to fish as well! I wonder how many more are in there?

Good to see. The RCMP has had their hands full; Bob Paulson has his work cut out for him. I'd hate to see another Canadian institution go the way of the Airborne.
