  1. When we first married, we had a second floor apartment and she wanted a clothes line, so I dug holes in the back yard, set posts and strung up wire for the country kind of clothesline I'd grown up with, she used it twice before declaring it took too much walking back and forth and had me arrange a trolley line from our 2nd floor porch to the house next door. It takes long piece of mason line to thread the rope through those pulleys on the upper floors, but I've seen a lot of them on 4th floors and in movies of the big cities they show them up 8 or 10 stories. After using the thing for a while, I can't understand why every wife doesn't demand one. Set basket on a table and hang away, no bending, no walking, no carrying of the basket, and as the clothes come down they can be folded on the same table, again with no walking. Bucket or bag of clothes pegs stays in the same spot so the pegs don't get lost as often. This reminds me I need to replace the ropes on ours. She's been using the dryer the past couple years, but she still likes to hang stuff out to sun.
  2. city clothes line, they had those across streets, building to building on every window, back in the day, you sometimes see them in old movies. We have two running off the back porch to a tree. My city girl wife grew up with them and we have always had them, for the past fifty years, the last set up I got at Lowes, but Amazon has it all Need these trolleys to keep the line from sagging under load - clothesline trolley just hook on after about 1/3- 1/2 half the line is full and then keep on hanging up clothes. And I find these handy for keeping the rope tight- tensioner pulley
  3. The Invasive Species? or real fish?
  4. Well I doubt that a violent criminal would be calling the cops on you or pressing charges if it was, so as the movie man said "feel lucky?" "go ahead" Might call the law first though, just in case?
  5. For sure. Ought to be illegal to be a criminal.
  6. That's another amazing thing, equipment keys are mostly universal within a brand, my key fits your backhoe kinda thing; yet machines don't often get stolen. And nobody questions or stops anyone driving equipment on public roads, just moving it to the next job,
  7. Supposin that criminal don't like his picture being taken while he's breaking the law? would he just break the camera/phone or would he go ahead and break the photographer too? Is it a good idea to antagonize any criminal? Or really is a good idea to antagonize any stranger, who may or may not be armed and dangerous? or just plain dangerous?
  8. No wait time while the Feds do the background check. No paper work, no records, I'm only surprised this doesn't happen more often.
  9. I think the fines are less than that in most cases, don't you lose a day out of work for the court date and if you fail to show up or pay fines you'd be in contempt of court? And there is the Point System- But, if the agent is in Court prosecuting a bait fine of $10 + costs, that agent is not out rounding up Elk Poachers, so priorities must be set and who cares about fish poaching when Elk are out there? "New fine amounts include $10,000-$15,000 for each elk or black bear "

    England?

    Hog wire seine lets the bait swim free and keeps only those fish big enough to eat. can be pulled team or tractor.
  11. There are currently 4,065 written languages in the world, so a sign in each maybe, and then hire an interpreter to stand by each sign for those who cant read any language. Or just hire an agent to walk through there at random times and check baits and that "flies" are really "flies" and not squirmy worms. Oh, wait, soft plastic squirmy worms are legal flies in international competitions.
  12. they don’t think they’re gonna be caught. I've been seeing bait in the fly only stretch of RRSP for 30 years. I don't think I've seen an agent there in probably 10 years, too few agents and too much territory for each of them. How often are agents walking the banks of Taneycomo? In the words of SCOTUS “ignorance of the law will not excuse any person, either civilly or criminally” But if they don't get caught, what does it matter?

    England?

    Thank you Sir, but I was asking about real life.

    England?

    It'd be pretty dead most days. But such comments always make me curios, does anyone, anywhere limit conversation to a single subject? In any real social gathering is mentioning politics enough to get one ostracized?
  15. I think that would skate, or dap pretty well and cast up stream as a dry it might hang vertically in the water as an emerger, but I don't think the back stripe adds anything to it. I tend to tie simple boring flies.
  16. curious which model worked so well?
  17. Not sure I counted right, but, I counted 88 types of scissors & shears- https://www.kleintools.com/catalog/knives-cutting-tools/scissors-shears
  18. I get that JCI sells lots of batteries, they bought up most of the old lines of batteries and market the names, but comparing Bob's Bait to Bob's Bait doesn't tell how that bait compares to Bill's Bait.
  19. Resignation? Shouldn't be too hard. You said you aren't a slave so you can quit. Any Boss that don't listen needs to be fired.
  20. The regs don't say the lines have to be visible and they don't say the tags have to be where Johnie Linethief can see them either. Those tags are for Agent's use only. Owning a knife is not authorization to tamper with, pull or cut any trotline, If you see a line that you suspect is in violation, call the OGT 24-hour, toll-free number 1-800-392-1111. You may remain anonymous, and you may be considered for a reward. As a bonus you won't become a thief and criminal.
  21. Are you a slave? Don't y'all have a Union?
  22. Wow!
  23. Weren't all those just Johnson Controls batteries with different labels?
  24. She was a very old woman, slavery was banned outright upon the founding of Vermont in July 1777.
  25. If any indoctrination is done correctly the subjects will never realize they have been indoctrinated. In fact they'd probably argue that they had not been.
