  1. I would think if sitting, you can run whatever you want as long as it isn’t the same color as the lights used while underway. While moving, they should probably all be off or at least the ones visible should be off or turned down to not cause issues.

    At the point in time it became more about what tastes good and less about what you needed to fuel your body, the backwards slide began. We have clearly gone over the cliff in some aspects now as people get further away from the kitchen and more dependent on what they can pick up. It will only get worse as we get into the next generation of kids that have no clue what to do in a kitchen. Growing up, there were a lot of days where if I wanted to eat I better plan on cooking something because both my parents worked odd hours and we had to fend for ourselves some.
  3. Agreed, no Pelagics near me so it just hasn’t been something I’ve chased.
  4. There are plenty of bass lakes in a little cooler locales I would think. Bass master does a top 100 bass lakes and would be a good place to start. Going forward I would avoid offshore and look at inshore fishing options for reds, trout, snook, etc. if you want to try salt. They will be much closer to what he thinks he likes. I grew up a lake guy and don’t have any interest in going offshore although I still do it occasionally. Sight casting big fish in shallow water is much more my speed than bumping the bottom with cut bait.
  5. PC isn’t exactly known as a budget friendly location. You could probably do areas in Colorado much cheaper.
  6. We split a week between there and Moab 2-3 years ago in July. I prefer Moab that time of the year and PC in the winter, but we enjoyed the trip. Went from 100+ in Moab one morning to 50 in PC that afternoon. We did some hiking and walking/eating around downtown on our trip. However, there were UTV tours, fishing, golf, water activities, biking, etc to keep you busy. I second CTJ on the VRBO option. There are plenty of houses to pick from.

    Eating unhealthy is easy and pushed on you at this point, eating healthy is also fairly easy but takes some planning and resolve and a little more time. Every place has free refills, cheap desserts, bread at every meal, over the top portions, etc. rather than trying to help people make better decisions. The only way it ever gets resolved is to make it more expensive/difficult to eat like shit and a cheaper deal to eat better. I’ve spent most of my life on the bigger side although not necessarily a fatass, just more a fullback type than a WR or OL. I’ve always eaten fairly well, but one thing that made a difference for me was getting some medical issues resolved. After seeing a cardiologist and getting some things straight, I dropped 40 pounds pretty easily and have held it off with no issues. I need to get down another 20 or so, but just haven’t committed to giving up bread and a few other things. I felt horrible and extremely self conscious when my weight hit it’s peak. I think most in that group feel the same way, but also feel stuck in their ways with too much uncertainty on how to change.
  8. I’m sure I’m in the minority out there, but that’s such a waste. There is absolutely nothing you can do with that fish.
  9. Their jaws are also susceptible to being permanently damaged. I don’t even lift small ones out of the water. The faster you can get a tarpon in and off the hook, the better chance of the fish surviving. Have not had any shark issues in the backwaters I fish in, but I do see dolphins becoming a bigger problem where I fish. Trout/snook, they will come out of nowhere after them.
  10. When compared to prison, it would be paradise.
  11. Yep, trip straight to the airport out of the country with instructions on where to wire the funds. I can’t imagine he has more than a few days before he gets picked up again.
  12. SBA has dropped the questionnaire for loans over $2M which is likely what has started getting some of those processed. The Associated General Contractors of America sued the SBA over it and the SBA relented. Not sure what it means long-term especially related to audits, but it should speed up forgiveness at this point.
  13. Finished it up over the weekend. Maybe it was because it was the end, but it was probably one of the worst seasons to me.
  14. That looks like a tube rope, if so don’t put it on the tower. That’s a recipe for a problem and also outside of any warranty on the tower if something happens. They aren’t designed for the forces that a tube is going to put on them unless just pulling in a straight line.
  15. You become keenly aware of all lines in the water after one bad experience.
  16. Shit, that sucks. Reminds me of one of my stories. We used to travel a lot for work. When there was a lake nearby, I would drive and pull the boat so we could go out at night. Probably 15 years ago we were out on one of those trips and me and one of the other guys that was with us were wakeboarding together. One of the girls swore she could drive the boat. She proceeded to cut across two wakeboard lines and wrap them up around 6:30. We tried flagging people down and got nowhere so we swam it into a wooded shore area. The other guy that was with us held the front of the boat and we worked on the lines with nail clippers one of the girls had. The guy in the front took the cooler with him and proceeded to get shitfaced drunk while we spent two hours undoing the mess. At some point we realized after it had gotten dark that we were drifting. The dumbass in the front was gone. He had decided to take off walking through the woods barefoot with beers stuffed in his life jacket. We got everything cleared by 9 and spent another 30 minutes trying to get him back to the boat. It was a clusterfuck. Later that week the same guy was shitfaced again but this time at the strip club. He was sitting at the stage throwing bills at every dancer and didn’t realize until the next day he was throwing 10’s and 20’s. He still had his stack of 1’s he took. He had a drinking problem.
  17. You have my vote. I view these threads as a place to come see others opinions on what happened and what might be happening. If I was a few episodes behind, I think I would just take that time and catch up on the episodes.
  18. The Mayor really should have chosen better wording this morning when the numbers came out and it was made to sound like rescues were complete. It’s going to be a while before they reach everyone that was in the building. With 51 unaccounted for, the death toll is going to be more than the 1 that was circulating earlier.
  19. I’m not going to say much, but he was brilliant and also off his rocker. We did some work with him on some things over the years and he really went off the deep end several years back.
  20. This is shaggy 101 (maybe HF 101, can’t remember how far back it goes.) JT method tells you which one you like best so 3rd watch, 1st watch, 2nd watch in that order. Randy method is the standard method that makes sense to normal people.
  21. I’m on my 3rd Undercover Ultraflex with zero complaints.I prefer that style over the retractable versions.
  22. Having eaten in a few of his establishments over the years, I’m not sure “dirty” immigrants is his hiring pool.
  23. I don’t know, that last .8 seconds was pretty awesome.
  24. That this thread is heading to the cloakroom in short order.
  25. Don’t care what your buddy said, Michigan had nowhere near the volume of people on it that it has had any other trip, any time of the year. It’s been busier in the winter than what it was when we went in May. Boat tours and other operators were mainly parked, took 5 minutes to go through TSA at O’Hare at lunch on Friday before Memorial Day, lots of closed places through downtown, massive police presence downtown, etc. It is most definitely not the same feel downtown as in the past. I think that is similar in a lot of places, but the travelers have definitely not come back to Chicago yet for whatever reason.
