Sounds like you had a great time other than the fly box. Don't people like that just really suck! Glad you had fun, sorry about the box. But, like you said - know you have an excuse to hit the tying bench. Thanks for reporting.

I echo all the other comments - WOW! They must be really proud of their place. I hope they do well, but it's not for me. I'll take my money and spend it in one of the fly shops near Taney, RR, Bennett, etc.

I should be able to make it. The calender is clear for Friday and Saturday. I'll check with the boss and make sure she doesn't have any other plans and will let you know for sure.
John
Sorry to hear your closing, but very happy to hear that you have opened a new chapter in your life. Hope that all goes as planned and a very successful new adventure.
May you have fair seas and following winds . . .

Okay, my curiosity is up now. I think I understand the toaster oven; for the powder paint curing? But, the fluid bed has me puzzled or maybe I don't understand what you mean by fluid bed. Please explain.
Thanks,
John
Slider - I also found them and they are a bit pricing. Don't see me getting one of those. They also have a cheaper model with six cavities of different sizes. But it only has one cavity in the 1/80 size.
G - if your going to be in the area and wouldn't mind seeing if they still have the molds I would appreciate it. If they do could you send me the contact info and I'll see about a trip down that way.
Thanks for both of the replys.

I'm looking to buy a jig head mold in the 1/100 or 1/80 oz size. Actually, I'd like both sizes if possible. I've checked on-line and they seem very hard to find. I did find the 1/80 size in the Do-It brand. Hilt advertised having them but when I ordered they sent back an email and said they didn't have them.
Any help would be appreciated. New or used is fine.
John
Great video! Really makes me regret not being able to make it this year! I need to find a secret cash of money so I can quite work and spend my time on the water!
John
Sorry I had to miss yet another get together. Work kept me pretty busy into the wee hours last night and then had to pull what was suppose to be a double today. Greatfully it ended up only be a 36 hour shift vs. a 48. But it was still too late to make the journey. Hopefully when things start to slow down we can make another quick get together.
Have a safe and happy new year!
John
Well the ugly "work" snake has reared it's head again and it looks like I will be pulling a 48 over NYE and NY day. Sorry, but I'm probably not going to be able to make it again this year! Man this work thing is really getting in the way of my fishing!
John
Happy belated birthday ya Jarheads! And that's said with much respect and love. I'd go back to back with any of ya in any bar . . . any time.
