It was at a Lakair gathering and there's a good chance it was at the Pike Derby, is that right......Aplumma? 😄

Meh, old wives tale, I've never had issues catching fish with Banana's in the boat, even when someone has hidden them in my boat. 😆

You're welcome.

You can pay at the door Dan. I won't be hard find, I'll be the guy selling beer/liquor tickets. 😁

You're all invited to join us for an evening with fellow OFC member David Chong.

Were you born with frisson? I most certainly was and this song continues to move me emotionally every time I hear it, both at home and when seen live on stage (Brit Floyd).

Good on all of you for helping others when you're able. I do volunteer a small amount of my time to keep our local fishing club running but that's about the limit of time I volunteer. However all the money I make building rods and then some is given to my local food bank and other charitable causes, it's a considerable amount when viewed annually.

I took my daughter's to see them a number of times locally at a friends bar "This Ain't Hollywood," Joe (look over my left shoulder at the signed paraphernalia available). Good times, up close and personal and chat time with them too.

Thank you Barry, my daughter thought fish scales right off. Silver is on the to do list. 😉

Thank you CM. It's a mylar mesh weave stretched over a carbon sleeve then cast in clear acrylic. It is just for now a working prototype that is going to lead me to more creative designs.

I've had this idea in my head now for some time and finally set my feet on the path to making it a reality last weekend. It's not like anything I've seen in the rod building world thus far and I'm hoping there's a market for it. Yes it's somewhat blingy for sure but not too gaudy in my opinion. I've shown it here on a mock up handle loosely assembled on a length of all thread. Your thought's welcomed. Thanks for looking.

What, you don't like "Porkpie."

Well I'm still searching As noted above from Lew, it was AndyK, I'm still searching the archives for pictures of him here at my home for a New Years Eve party. In the mean time here he is at Lakair (on the right) with my buddy Jef (Team Empty Pockets).

You beat me to it Lew, I was searching my photo archives for pictures of him here on New years Eve so many years ago now. I'm still searching.

Geeeez Brian, those will never work.

The Gentleman to the left of Norm was here for a visit just a few weeks ago.

I was there when it was there. 😉

That's a dandy for sure.

Well there goes the neighbourhood. 😄

I'd have been there for dinner but you know, snowstorm.
