More accurate too!

Yep, good old masking tape and epoxy. I've done it on every flyrod I've done. Solid with no squeaks.

Hell -- just noticed this. You can't be dishing it up if you weren't even there, man.

Official reading in from accuness weather -- 12 inches. Sposta be getting some ice on top. Yippee.

Nicely played LOL

Man, it's a mess here. Just snow -- no ice. Not sure of our total count but it's 10 inches or more. I'm on the west edge of town and work in the southeast part. It started snowing on the way to work around 7 AM and by the time I left at 11 is was a mess at probably 8 inches. No time for the plows to get ahead of things, and any prep they did got buried. I took a round about way home trying to get to plowed roads as quick as I could, plus I'd offered to take a friend to her husband's work to help them out. Cars and semis off everywhere, cars going the wrong way on the highway, exit ramps blocked. Every hill or stop light was a big chance to get stuck. Dozens of cars stuck turning off the main roads into neighborhoods. Worked my way back up to 435 only to find people backing down the entrance ramp because they couldn't make it up. Worked out good because they announced it was closed a few exits up anyway. Stayed at a dead stop for over an hour on 119th street while they cleared something up ahead. Got through that about 1:30 and it had stopped snowing. It was almost a ghost town by then. Rolled into my neighborhood about 2. Ground to a halt in ~foot deep snow just outside my driveway -- plow hadn't been through. Neighbors dug and pushed me the last 20 feet. It's been snowing for at least a couple hours now. Can't really tell how much, but my car is covered in a few inches.

About 4 inches from what I can tell. Windy as heck.

Does that come in colors for dudes too?

I found the Mizzou home court announcer to be absolutely ridiculous and distracting. What gives?

Well, too long to read, but it's clear Mr. Dablemont or his buddies wrote it based on the first paragraph. Which pretty much makes it a joke, not a biography. I always wonder about folks who write stuff about themselves like that in the third person, as if to imply there's at least ONE person who believes this crap.

Found some pretty decent road kill on the way home from fly-tying class tonight. If I can get the funk out of it I'll whip up something good. Anybody know where I can get some hooks?

It's always a little easier to believe a young lady, no? It's been the ruin of many men.

My desk is nearly cleaned off -- so I'm making some progress.

Well, I can't imagine a timeshare salesperson stretching the truth. Must be true.

Nope. There are a lot of good vices out there though. It ain't rocket surgery. I've never tied on a true rotary but I've never felt the need either. Those that do seem to really like them. Like you said: personal preference

Don't remember him in the star. It's been frazee as long as I can remember

I gotta admit I'd never heard of this guy until he was brought up on this forum a while back. I see he's written some books and has a magazine -- neither of which I've seen before. Are you guys seeing him in newspaper columns or something?

Just saw this Jason. I see some folks don't like the glass -- too heavy or fragile. I don't disagree that they are heavier. And yeah -- you drop them on some concrete they'll either chip or break. The trick is not to do that -- and I've managed not to in 10+years with one pair by keeping them on a lanyard. The little micro scratches that plastic get kinda sneak up on you. They build up on the lenses and at some point you realize they're crap. Glass won't get those. Photochromic is really nice. If I was fishing on reservoirs with the sun beating down on me all day I probably wouldn't like them as much. But when you're in the shadows they're great. I drive with them too, and I'll often forget I've got them on and drive well into dusk.

Whoa feller.

I think that's a rush to judgement. Perhaps he was just strolling by?

I wonder if panthers know how delectable turkey is?

I'm gonna tie something borrowed and something blue

...confused

.....that are eating all the quail

I guess we need to go over this material again.... There is no evidence of a breeding population. See the difference from what you said? They're not saying, and they have no incentive to say, there isn't a breeding population. They want to see the evidence before they make the statement. All, or darn near all, of the ones they've examined have been males. Do we need to go over that material again too?
