  1. I bet that showed em.
  2. Yep that all sounds too familiar. That's why I have abandoned the Current.
  3. I wasn't complaining about the fee. If that's what the charge is then that's what the charge is. I see people spend more than that all the time to go to SDC. But I'm not going to spend money with someone who answers a question about cost by telling me how much his expenses are. ALL businesses have expenses. Just tell me your price and I'll determine if it's worth it to me. Your expenses mean nothing to me and I shouldn't have to hear it. I don't use that as an excuse to my customers.
  4. Update on the warranty. I carried that camera around in the box for awhile before I shipped it back to Olympus. Dropped it off at the post office on the 1st of July. Yesterday it was repaired and sitting on my porch when I got home. They replaced the LCD and sent it right back no questions asked. Pretty good service to me.
  5. This is true in some high schools. Usually not hard to figure out which ones are doing it. But I will say that the high schools aren't making billions of dollars off of these players.
  6. I did take a long look at those too since they were highly recommended. But for a guy my size? No. With that seat? Hell no. But I see a lot of them out there so they can't be bad. Just not right for me. I did like the Pro version though. It's a nice boat.
  7. The jets on the 11 Point are no comparison to all the trash jet boaters on the current.
  8. "I'm going to do what's right for the players." That translates to "I'm going to do whatever I have to do to keep winning and making a ton of money off of these kids." And that's the reason I can't like college football. It's just so dirty at that level. Yeah it's dirty above that level and it's even dirty below that level. But it's really nasty and despicable at the college level. I do envy you guys that enjoy it because I love football. And I try to get into it, but I just can't. These coaches are treated like gods while other departments in these schools are struggling to get the tools they need to make our citizens better, more intelligent members of society. Bring on high school football though because I am ready for some of that!
  9. I did buy one last weekend. I went against everyone's recommendations, including my own, and bought a Ascend FS12T for a couple of reasons and I'm glad that I did. I actually almost bought a Pescador Pro 12 but after I compared it to the FS12T it just wasn't worth the extra $230. Here are the reasons I went with the Ascend. 1. I have really no idea what I wanted in a kayak. I had only fished out of one once so I felt I needed a little more experience to be able to tell what my desires in a quality boat are. After just being out in it a couple of times those are starting to become apparent. 2. I didn't have the time/patience/experience to go out and paddle a bunch of different models and still end up making the wrong decision. I needed to be on the water now. The other factors were that they have made some enhancements to the 2016 Ascends. Seems like a much better boat than the one that I had paddled before. It might be a bit on the heavy side but I have zero problems carrying it around or getting it on top of my car. It's starting to give me some things to consider when I do decide to go with a more quality boat, and yes that time will come. It's not as slow as I was led to believe. I was even able to keep up with a guy running a trolling motor on his pretty easily. Not that I was trying to but it was interesting that I could. I like it. It's put me on the water. I've caught some fish. I'm getting it figured out. And after seeing all the new stuff that's coming out of iCast I'm glad I have waited on a more expensive boat. Now I can take my time to make an educated decision but still have a good boat that puts me on the water fishing. I even stunk it up with a decent first fish.
  10. You always start it with those bass filleting videos you post.
  11. Thanks. It was over 30 years ago but I don't want to see that happen to anyone else. I also thought the PFD auto deploy rig idea was awesome. At least you were wearing one, mine would probably be tucked up underneath something.
  12. I've watched it a couple of times already and it's really spooky. Lost my favorite uncle to lightning when I was 15. He was also on the water when a storm came up. Be careful out there. I know that's not always possible, been caught a couple of times myself.
  13. That's all I need to hear. I will never be spending any money there for any reason.
  14. That's t-shirt material.
  15. What's the fee?

    It's not just the sogginess of the bun. I don't like things oozing out when I bite down like Chief does. But I'm the guy that orders a burger with pickles and tomatoes just to remove them to eat on the side. A BLT should also have the T on the side.

    I can't stand anything on any type of sandwich that can make it soggy or give it a mushy feel. It's not the taste that bothers me.
  22. This is only my 4,233 post and I have only been a member for 10+ years. I know I have ruffled some feathers, gained some enemies, probably at the top of a few "People to Kill" lists. But this is a great place and I have made some amazing friends here. Don't feel like you can't contribute anything of value. Jump right in and tell us your stories.

    I have never put coleslaw on a pulled pork sandwich. I may try it someday but it just doesn't sound appealing. But if you want the beast pulled pork sandwich ever then you need to smoke a log of bologna with it and place a thick slice of that under the pork. It is amazing. It's the NFOWich.
