  1. Yes, I know. Just surprised that the audience for watching cars practice going in circles gets mainstream coverage while you have to pay to watch college baseball on your phone. I'll pay the $10 today
  2. Meanwhile, NASCAR practice laps showing on FS1. We talking 'bout practice. Is college baseball so non-consequential that the damn tournament can't get coverage? (I guess I know the answer to this.) Yesterday, I ended up listening on the radio.
  3. Greece for two weeks--Athens then some islands. Then stopping in London on the way back for 4 days because I promised oldest daughter I would take her some day. Technically, work trip but only have a few hours of work stuff here and there. Wife joining me for part of the trip then oldest daughter flying over for the rest.
  4. Yep always add other stuff to new orders but those two standbys get ordered every.damned.time.
  5. There is a pretty danged good craft beer place about 75 yards from the stadium in Coral Gables. Nice area around there. From Coral Gables over to Coconut Grove is my favorite part of Miami. https://titanicbrewery.com/
  6. Midcook Finished and pulled Resulting sammic
  7. Alright let's track progress of celebrating through fire and flesh the contributions made to our freedom. I am running a bit behind but have my fire settling in and will put on these butts in about 20 minutes. Bought them to make tamales at Christmas but then didn't. Tired of them taking up freezer real estate. Will throw on a chicken or two later. Before rubbed and then after the rubbening.
  8. Saw his last standup show the night before he died. He was out of his mind. Very funny...but blitzed. He had no idea where he was. Funny guy that had his own style.
  9. Ha. I have already laid the ground work for that. "Damn wife, I am tired of this junk laying around all the time." Thanks for all the info. I would have just thrown the amp in for free if someone bought the steel guitar. Father-in-law was an interesting guy--I have two pairs of boots that were gifted to him from the Texas Rangers (not the baseball team) with the TR badging. Maybe he hung out with Waylon too.
  10. Gray cord. Two prong
  11. One piece. Both slides/necks have 8 strings each. The “necks” are mounted on a single base if you will. The back of the base has three threaded holes to screw in the legs.
  12. Found this in father-in-law's house west of Plainview after he passed. WTF do I do with it. I plugged it in and it all works. Nice case with legs, etc.
  13. I am a big believer in making long casts in clear water lakes. Add forward facing sonar to the mix, and bass are spookier than ever. My Lew's reels can sling a swimbait out of sight.
  14. @fattyflattie @huge Three tournaments weekends in a row and another this weekend before a one-week break. Fishing has been good. Feeling like all I do is fish or prep to fish. Not complaining. Anyway, as far as spinning tackle goes, it is like a sandwedge for me. If you see me on the front deck of my boat with a spinning rod in hand, you know I am in trouble and struggling. It is a last resort for me if I am trying to get a limit in the box. I do carry three with me at all times just because they make it so much easier for a Ned rig, dropshot or Damiki rig. But again, I see those techniques as limit getters and not a way of putting much weight in the boat. There is a time and place though. That all said, I am not going to spend big bucks on spinning tackle because I go into every tournament hoping not to pick it up. No problem spending money like I just did on a Metanium MGL baitcaster (super sweet BTW). For spinning reels I have settled on Shimano Stradic as you stated and/or Shimano NASCI, which is a damn fine reel for the money. Everyone I know who has purchased a NASCI as a backup has quickly worked it into the starting lineup. Here are some reviews: https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Shimano_NASCI_FC_Spinning_Reel/descpage-SNFS.html I will add that Diawa Tatulas have a strong following. I can speak to the Tatula baitcasters, and they are good-to-great reels. The other brand that has really impressed me over the last few years is Lew's. They used to be really special for certain applications in the '80s and '90s then fell off in quality. They are under new ownership now, and all my Lew's reels are fantastic. Not sure how they will hold up, but for the money, I find them hard to beat right now.
  15. Those are sweet taters homie.
  16. From an oft overlooked gem of his. If you find me feedin' daisies Please turn my face up to the sky And leave me be Watchin' the moon roll by Whatever I was You know it was all because I've been on the town Washin' the bullshit down

  18. Canadian counterpoint.
