Yeah same here. I wore a Mohawk solo paper thin in 10 years going down creeks that hardly had any flow. 10 of the best years of my life.

Was he saving it for some reason? They do make more. 

He's a good guy, but he's a small business owner who thinks it's his way or the highway.

Sorry for this story I'm about to tell, but it's funny as heck. He's the kind of guy who bounces every 5 years from one thing to another and has to go out and buy the most expensive toys. So after he gave up on stream fishing, he decided he wanted to "get in touch with his wild side" (his words), and go buy a top of the line Harley. His wife knew him well and told him he couldn't buy it unless he purchased an extra 1 million dollar life insurance policy. He agreed.....exactly one month after he bought it, he decided to drive all the way to Sturgis, with basically no experience riding a motorcycle. The day he was to leave, his buddies drove by to pick him up with their Harleys. His wife decided to make this event a real Kodak moment, and actually had a movie camera out to film him riding off into the sunset. What he didn't realize, is he forgot to turn the fork lock off, and he took off and only went 15 feet and ran into his wife's parked car and dropped the bike on its side!!?????.

I have always referred to them as "The Explorers". They try everything and have to have all the best stuff but they never seem to take time to master anything and enjoy it. I'm not saying that I have mastered anything nor will I ever. But I found a couple of things I like that have taken me on the amazing journeys. I guess we are just luckier than them.

He's probably glad that I wasn't one of his riding buddies . I would have lost it if I was there.
