    vices?

    Vices? Yes, :unsure: I have a few, but that's a subject for another thread. For fly tying I'm still using my 1990 Dyna King Professional C-clamp with standard and midge jaws. Broke the original standard jaws around '96 and haven't had any other "operator error" mishaps since. Solid unit.

    NFR Passing Cars Correctly with Space

    I've wondered about this and why some tailgate so close on a four or six lane, that you can't see their hood and I've come to my own idea on why they do it. I think it's because, it's there behind the wheel where they can act out a sense of control over their own destiny and that of others...

    SFR Fishing Foods (food near fishing)

    Try McSafeway's, they're all over the place. ;) We sometimes car camp and run into the nearest town for eats. Since many of those towns only have a burger joint or a hole in the wall the serves soda cracker crust pizza, we often turn to the local grocery stores deli section for dinner. If you...

    Advice for kicking through thick lily pads in a tube?

    What's the bottom like? If it's not soft. Try making a push pole out of 8' of 1" Schedule 40 pvc add a cap to one end, add a lanyard to the other. Use it between your legs and use your fins atop the water for direction. :unsure:

    Well crap....

    This is one of my all-time favorites. Note the headlight is still working. Maybe the makers of taillights for boat trailers could get a few pointers on how to make a watertight submersible fixture. How 'bout them DieHard batteries!

    SFR Two years out....Retirement

    So much has been covered here, so I'll just add this. If you'd like to talk homes in upscale 55 plus communities, I've owned five of them, they're kind of like potato chips, once you start, it's hard to stop. I think that makes me fairly well versed on the subject.

    Moving to Sacramento

    I lived in Briggs Ranch ( in the town of Folsom which is east of Sac off of Hwy. 50 ) area about 1/4 mile from Folsom Lake for a little over eight years in the early 2000's. During the mid to late 80's I guided the American below Nimbus seasonally for Steelhead and taught entry level classes on...

    Well crap....

    Lucky, he had the boat cover on at the time of accident, because it might have rained or something. I've been rear ended while waiting at stop lights four times in my life, three of those were by women driving Camry's (What are the chances of that coincidence.) So, my concern for an accident...

    Sage XP

    The two photos in the review show a rod blank of the wrong color (at least on my screen) and if it were a factory build the grip would be different.

    SFR Optimal Fly Shop Hours?

    Our shop ( back in the day ) was closed on Sunday, open 10 to 6 Monday - Saturday, with exception of Wednesday we were open until 9 in the beginning, then reduced that to 7. After 7 the streets in our area cleared out, our customer traffic dropped significantly and we had some problems. The only...
