I had the pleasure of seeing this very show in Hamilton a week ago today from front row center seats in the lower bowl. Amazing! Had a few OFC'ers with me as well. And this as seen 3 days earlier in Boston (not me personally).....

But it was shipped to me, not from me. $55.00 to ship a 58" tube this past Monday from Hamilton To Brooklyn, NY.

Yes, PVC and bubble wrap around the rods at either end (taped in place) to keep it centered in the tube. Funny enough I did get a shipment of blanks once (PVC) with forklift tire marks across it, every blank inside destroyed including an irreplaceable blank from Batson as it was the last one they had of an older model. Ya, I was pissed.

LOL.....It's not an easy task Joe, but you're obviously doing well. Never give up my friend.

Good stuff guys. I see the ugly shirt contest is still in full swing.

Looking good TJ. Funny I still have and use my old Bass Pro cooler cup. I'd hate to guess how many beers have been in her.

This for me ^ with a trilene knot to the fly.

That came out real sweet Tom, well done. I too owned a few Algonquin fly rods back in the day.

I'd have loved to add sausage or Bacon Rick but it's vegetarian for my youngest daughter. In fact I'm able to happily share some with my neighbour who is vegan. Worry not though, it is delicious despite the lack of meat.

I would have loved to add sausage or bacon Rick but it's completely vegetarian for my youngest daughter.

I've been crazy busy bit I/we still need to eat. I've made more homemade soups and varieties of soups this year than ever before. Love soups. Yesterday was a big pot of Turkey Stew and a big pot of Borscht. Both are delicious!

I get all my meat there, worth the drive and the few extra $ IMO. Great looking steak Lucas.

I had one installed on mine Brian when I had it in for it's first 40 hour service appt. Handy for sure.

I'm still at a loss to find the words. Condolences to Paul, Alan and Joey's family, very sad!

Shoot me a PM, I can definitely help you.

Just a quick rundown of those in attendance. Bigugli (Bruce and his wife Judy), Wormdunker (Brian), Fish Farmer (Dave), HTHM (Albert), Loonietoon (Kelvin), LeXXington (Paul), Tipwatcher (George) and myself. It was a very enjoyable afternoon, thanks all.

You definitely caught me by surprise Paul, it was indeed good to talk shop as it were with you over a couple of cold ones.

I'll be there Bruce.

Yes Sir

Oh ya, it's good stuff. I bought half a dozen jars a weeks back. One down five to go.

Afternoon is good for me.

If there is music I again apologize, I won't be there.

Sorry John, I misunderstood. Now that I do understand I totally respect your stance on not going to that location. Hopefully we'll see you at the Ale House. Cheers.

Completely different place. The Ale House (formerly Cagney's) is on Upper Gage, not Upper James.

If they're doing karaoke then I'm definitely out!
