  1. Elon Musk bought them and is only accepting Crypto Currency quoted at the time of purchase as payment...
  2. I can't decide, so we'll do buffet style... a) I knew football was a game of inches... b) Got one less inch than expected? Try working it more aggressively....
  3. Whether you find them or not, make sure you don't outfish the boss.
  4. Good, Auto mechanics have to send their kids to college too....
  5. As long as we don't see you towing with Herbie the Love Bug.... Electric vehicles have a lot of logistics and infrastructure hurdles to overcome before they become the standard. Will they make up a larger and larger percentage of vehicles? sure, but I don't think internal combustion vehicles are going anywhere any time soon. As far as affordability, that is an economic issue, not a gas v electric thing. I doubt we have seen the last of the changes in economic approaches, both domestic and international. Now where do I get some whale oil?...
  6. The rod is both a lever and a spring, with proper timing, the amount of power required is minimized. As stated above, when in sync, (as in constructive resonance) it will transfer the energy through the rod to the lure. What happens when folks try to cast "hard" is either they come off this curve, get jerky, or in the case of BCs, add too much energy in relation to the start up resistance of the spool (a different discussion) which leads to negative results in both distance and accuracy.
  7. "Soylent Green is old anglers!"...
  8. Sounds like your town needs some bike racks, I know a guy....
  9. Velocity and power are indeed different things... Can one type *****?
  10. I'm not admitting to anything, but were I to throw WPs, a 110 and 75 Perch would be the ones... Time of day doesn't directly affect how well a WP (or most other lures,) work, but does have an effect on other factors that in turn do or can affect the bite, so yes and no...
  11. LOL. I know the feeling. As a junior Seaman, I was stationed aboard a Spruance class destroyer, which I selected because the fantail was the best suited for fishing. We bottom fished at anchor and trolled when the conditions allowed. The catching was usually not great, but we made the best of it. We were doing boxes somewhere of the coast of the Carolinas at perfect trolling speed, and we were hooking more fish than usual, and actually landing some. It got better and better, and about an hour into it GQ gets called away for a main space class Bravo fire drill, well, let's just say I was a bit slow getting on station, and who walks by a deck above but the Skipper. My Chief asks me after we secured from the drill "Where you fishing during GQ?" I sheepishly said yeah, That was a close call. Got off with a stern talking and a little EMI. The XO liked my answer when he asked "What were you thinking?" I said "It was awesome real fishing and a pretend fire. When we have a real fire, I'll be the first guy through the door, and they'll have to carry me out on my shield if necessary Sir".
  12. That would be more like 1 Kilo...
  13. I guess I'm not getting why the tag end can't be manipulated to any relation in regards to the double line no matter which side it's originally inserted in, and then wound accordingly, making where it's inserted and thus the direction of the winds non consequential.
  14. Press fit or interference fit has recognized tolerances in different applications . "almost press fit" is not a thing. The banter will be a result of a well known design flaws in many press fit bottom brackets (the bearings that allow the crank to turn) in bicycles. They are (certainly not by design) "almost press fit" when they shouldn't be. I have worked with several machinists who were nothing short of magicians. Most are kookie as heck, but I guess that goes with the territory. We are having mangu for breakfast and Shimano bashing. I wish I could type what I'm getting over my shoulder. Time to make some $$$.
  15. "almost press fit" will be breakfast banter at the bike shop...
  16. I'm calling Social Services....
  17. InterWeb loves that crackle albino thing...
  18. I'm looking at step #3 on the diagram above.
  19. Most of their hard baits are very good, off the top of my head, one of their flat sided cranks, and the one that looks a bit like a Bandit 100 I didn't care for.
  20. Good, cause that Incredible Hulk green on the Furies would be hard to coordinate with....
  21. It's symmetrical, so there is no difference.
  22. There's your answer right there.
  23. Better? I dunno, but when bass fishing I hardly ever overhead cast, but being competent with all sorts of casts (particularly the ones you use most) is always a good idea.
  24. Not at all biased, I own a lot of brands of rods and reels, and mix as required. I do put Daiwa reels on Shimano rods and vise versa when I fish with folks that I know it bothers, and I say something like "imagine how many more I'd be catching if my rod and reel matched" each time I swing one in.
