I met Lee Greenwood on an flight to CA, it threw me off because he was sitting in coach right behind me. He was playing in Las Vegas that week. Met Tim Mc Graw at the Wild Horse Saloon in Nashville. I went up to the bar to get a beer, he was sitting there drinking a Bud and I honestly paid no attention him at first. I ordered my beer turned to see what was going on the dance floor, I said something stupid like you look allot like Tim McGraw, he replied that he should since he was I got to talk for a few minutes, seemed like a nice guy. Met Hank Parker at our church, he was there to speak. The church was having a special event and he was the keynote speaker. He signed autographs and spent quite a bit of time just mingling and talking to everyone after. Finally I went to school with Vernell "Bimbo" Coles. He was starting guard for Miami Heat and later Golden State, and also an Olympic athlete, don't remember if the USA won a medal for basketball in 88.

YZ hybrid, 12 on baitcasting and 6 or 4 on spinning.

Bleach and vinegar, two separate occasions. Thought the bleach was water and the vinegar apple juice.

You can get some insane deals on Quantum's through Ebay. I've recently purchased two Energies and two Kinetics spent right at 225, all NIB.

My eldest son has his wireless bridged into our router instead of doing a proper connection. I think after reconfiguring his connection the problem will resolve. Right now I turned mine off and will do the reconfiguring tomorrow. We are all wireless.

We have several computers in the home, using one router. I set static ip's on 3 computers to prevent internet conflicts. I was using my computer lost internet, I went into dos typed ipconfig, and my computer's static ip number changed drastically, I went from a 192. 1xx.1.x to 169.254.477.141 I intentionally put the x's on mine, so was I hacked? . Advice please, I disconnected the router completely, and am running a virus scan now.

I like the thrill of the fight, what I hate is a fish swimming off with a lure in it's mouth. Or a fish so exhausted it dies. It is unavoidable no matter the tackle. Here are my observations from switching from ul or panfish equipment to bass equipment. Less line breaks, fewer lost lures, less mortality rate, larger fish are boated, throwing anything over 1/8 oz can not be properly presented with ul rigs, nor can u present anything under 1/8 with bass equipment. I don't think either camp is more or less ethical than the other, equipment has its limits. You're not going to do any punching with ul's nor will u throw 1/16oz crappie jigs on a mh casting rod.

Never fished down that way. From WV originally, have had many good days on the Greenbrier and new rivers.

North Fork of Anthony Creek, up RTE 92? Fished there many times for trout, would have never thought a smallie would make it that far up the creek system

I used to fish U/L exclusively what I found is that the rods are so springy that you don't really feel the fight, the rod absorbs all the shock. I get more enjoyment with a 7 foot MH or M rod. Most pulls, runs and head shakes are transmitted to my hand wrist. IMO fish the way u enjoy the most I really like power fishing cranks, spinner baits, buzz baits etc. I can and do slow down, I like jigs, worm, senko, and finesse. But power fishing is my favorite

Simmons sporting goods Ebay, wait for them to start a .99 cent auction on one. The last I checked they had a few for $99 on buy it now. Also Shelton clothing but this one isn't a real store. Yes I got LH models.

Hello and welcome, if u don't mind shopping at Ebay, you can steal an Energy right now. I've recently purchased two, both new in box from real stores, paid 69.95 and 72.76 shipped. Also bought two kinetics 49.99and 52.50 shipped. I have owned two Curados one E series and one Bantam, and can not comment on the Citica, but the Kinetic is a fine reel, casts suprisingly far, and was very smooth on the retrieve The Energies have not been used other than casting in the yard, but I can say that for the money I spent I don't think there is a better reel, was the Curado E better than the Kinetic, not as far as casting distance (casting distance is a very subjective thing and varies greatly between users, rods, line size etc), but over all yes IMO. But I can buy two more Kinetics and still not be at the price for one Curado which makes these reels a great value.

I've owned several, solid reel it will serve u well.

Trouble is I've already been through PT, two series of injections, oral steroids, etc. Received a letter from a thirdpartyyesterday who actually the ones who denied the claim, lack of radiologic evidence. I guess two MRI'S & CT Myleogram all showing severely compressed nerve root isn't enough. lol

Friday was a lousy day with my insurance companies, wow. I'll start with what State Farm did. I check my bank to find I'm overdrawn! That never happens. The reason? State Farm took twice the usual amount out! So I go to the agent's office to ask what was going on. The lady told me it was because a 20 y/o was added as primary driver on my truck. It was my step son who lives in another state and hasn't been on my policy for 2 years, and never on my policy in this state. I asked who added him, she didn't know, how he got added, she didn't know, why he was added, she didn't know, why he was put on the most expensive vehicle to insure, she said I guess to get more money. All the while she is pushing buttons on the computer looking at the screen. She apologized, corrected the info, but there was no way to credit my bank account that day. Thankfully I have an account that provides overdraft protection, but I was still charged a convenience fee. She said that my next month's withdraw would be minimal as that is when and how I get the money creditted back. What a bunch of crap. Then the doctor's office notifies me that my insurance refused to authorize my surgery (today was the surgery date). I have medicare which does not require pre-authorization, but I signed up for Humana's advantage plan, by law and their contract with medicare they are not allowed to prevent treatment. Which I didn't find out until today. I filed a complaint, got special permission to drop the humana plan (which btw is nothing short of a scam) and am waiting to have the surgery rescheduled. All of this was so unnecessary and aggravating, thanks for letting me vent.

No to remove the handle on that years model you turned the handle in reverse. Then you could remove the drag star etc. Palming side you push a button under the front and turn the plate down.

Wish me luck, I start trying to get answers tomorrow. So far all I get is "i don't know sir." Oh and the car insurance put my step son on my insurance and they don't know why.

Thanks Downeaster

Lake Moomaw in VA is infected with them, the guess is catfish anglers introduced them. They are impacting the food chain, the forage base in that lake is alewife. Not a good thing to do, it is illegal just about everywhere, using them s bait is the same as introducing a foreign species.

So I get a call today, my surgery is postponed!!!! Some insurance snafu.... then later I get a call from the bank and my car insurance "mistakenly" over charged by 110 bucks!!! It has not been my day, lol. Slone, check your pm's

Robert, probabaly getting close to a mill anyway, 5th spine surgery, lol. I told my last doc just to go ahead and run rebar the full length and be done with it. He wasn't amused. A bionic back??? Wonder how strong that would make me??

I guess to me it seems gratuitous to still call it NASCAR. There hasn't been a stock car on the track for 25+ years.

It would depend on what it's main use would be. The E7 brings in close to 29ipt, and it is a heck of a nice reel. FWIW I bought my NIB E series for 159, so it's not that great of a deal. Cost not a factor and I needed high speed probably the Curado.

No my point is/was that NASCAR used to be a type of R&D for their cars, engines, trannies, etc. Now it isn't. The example I used was to illustrate that what the manufactures raced had to be produced. Ford races what the Fusion? When was the last time you saw a two door V8 Fusion, 2 door Chevy Impala or Camry etc, I am fully aware that the production cars were not the same thing as the racing cars, but there had to be a correlation, that isn't the case anymore. The racing used to mean something for the manufacturers and fans that has been lost as the sport has evolved.

I purchased a new truck Nov 2011, only has 20k on her, hoping she lasts a long long time.
