Cute kid. No, really. I mean it.

I got gifted tix to tomorrow's game Yanks vs. Indians. And now, for the anti-rain dance... NORAINNORAINNORAINNORAIN (and the you kinda shuffle yuor feet around)

So I'm waltzing around BestBuy yesterday, looking at video games and movies and such, when all of a sudden there's this weight on my back. I turn to look and its this gorilla saying "You need a new graphics card." So I bought one... nVidia GeForce 7900 I spent more than I should have, I know, but this card kicks butt! I never knew how crappy my graphics were until I hooked this thing up last night. What a huge difference!

Lemme tell ya, once you go high speed, you can never go back. I use cable myself, and no offense, but I sometimes think DSL is too slow. There's no way I can even think about using dial up. It would be like giving up my mustang for a yugo. Not gonna happen

Yes please. Adam

Oh, man, I am really getting tired of all this rain. Evrytime I think the weather might stay sane for a couple days, a low or a front, or both, roll through and screw up everything. I'm also gettin' kinda skeered that the water in either the pond or the lake is going to be in my living room soon. Noah, I think its time to build the boat...

The more you talk about music, the more I think you and I could talk music all day. Good choice for a very fitting subject. I was thinking more Don Henley, though... And the bubble-headed bleach blonde comes on at five She can tell you bout a plane crash with a gleam in her eye Its interesting when people die They love Dirty Laundry

Happy Birthday, and many more!

This is buddy, my "puppy-kitty" as my neice calls him He's my best fishing pal, too

Welcome, eh. Get some back-bacon and some doughnuts and you're good to go, eh? Just kidding, I watched "Strange Brew" the other day and couldn't resist... Welcome and have fun

And watching the YANKEES!!!!

Men Are Just Happier People-- What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can be President. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park You can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car mechanics tell you the truth. The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress~$5000. Tux rental~$100. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time. Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend. Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck. You can play with toys all your life. Your belly usually hides your big hips. One wallet and one pair of shoes one color for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can "do" your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache. You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes. Got this from a female friend, she thought it was funny, I thought it was true...

He looks like a guard from Monty Python's Holy Grail...Supoib

Only gonna say this: This isn't the place for it. The are plenty of other boards that are discussing this subject. Go there for that discussion, stay here for bass stuff. 'Nuff said.

Ewww

I have voted in every election since I registered. When I was in college, I would do the absentee ballot (before all the craziness in Fla and OH). The only time school was closed for Election day (as should they all) was when it was a national election, which also is slated as a national holiday. It is not a right to vote, but it is a privilege, a duty. Like the line in the Declaration of Independence says: But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. (I never truly understood this line until I saw "National Treasure")

Its funny how the idea of the golden rule is fundamental in so many religions and philosophies: Brahmanism : "This is the sum of duty: Do naught unto others which would cause you pain if done to you." Buddhism: "Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find harmful." Christianity: "All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law of the prophets." Confucianism: "Surely it is the maxim of loving-kindness: Do not unto others what you would not have them do unto you." Islam: "No one is a believer until he desires for his brothers which he desires for himself." Judaism: "What is hateful to to you, do not to your fellowman. That is the entire law; all the rest is commentary." Taoism: "Regard your neighbor's gain as your own gain and your neighbor's loss as your own loss." Zoroastrianism: "That nature alone is good which refrains from doing unto another whatsoever is not good for itself." -From the 2006 Farmer's Almanac Now, if we could only get all these peoples to act on the idea... Maybe LBH will be the catalyst for world peace...

Oh, man, I can't wait to hear this... What does a southern accent sound like after being mooked up? Imagine "Casino" with a southern accent. OOOO, it hurts just thinking about it. I guess that's why Sopranos takes place in Jersey and not Mobile, Alabama...

The more I watch this show, the more I like it. Mike Rowe must be getting paid very well for what he does, including last night's show where he worked making "Poo Pots". Basically, its a dairy farm where they take the cow manure and turn it into methane to run the farm and then use the dried remnants for making planting pots. The TV doesn't put out smells (Thank God!), but I found myself almost gagging from the looks on their faces. I remember another episode where Mike was helping a plumber fix a drain line outside a house. Of course they had to dig it up, and as Mike's got his hands in the ground he pulls up a handfull, looks at the camera and says, "That's not mud..." Priceless. Anyone else laugh at this show as much as I do?

I would just let the leak be a leak. Keep wearing them until you get a nice case of swamp foot. There's nothing else in life as gratifying as the stank that comes from swamp foot. Right up there with an elevator ride with the judges of a chilli cook off... Or you could do what the other guys say...

I took a quick trip up to Vermont yesterday, and from all the people I've talked to, the skiing at Okemo has been outstanding the last 2 weeks. From the viallage, I could see the trees at the top were covered with snow and I know they haven't been making any snow since they close on the 18th. Supposedly there's another 6-10 inches coming today. Too bad the lease on my rental is up, or I'd have to spend a few more days skiing. In April. Weird to even think that...

I would have! After all the crap about him not staying a Yankee, plus having an "off" year, add to the fact that he's in an option year, I was pretty sure he'd be REALLY good this year. Granted, I know that he's only played a week's worth of ball this year, but I also have him winning the AL MVP again this year... Remember this post in September and we'll see if I'm right...

Been a while since we've seen you, dude. Hope everything is good and you can come back and share your wisdom soon.

Wait for warmer weather... Seriously, the best luck I've had in the cold ponds is a weightless junebug senko moved EXTREMELY SLOWLY. Typically, a 30' cast takes about 5 minutes to retrieve.

I come from an extensive family of baymen, going back at least 4 generations on my mothers side. I pretty much grew up with a rake in my hands. My grandparents and great uncle and aunt had a "shuckin' shack" that was off limits to us kids because we'd eat more than they could open . My father was in the Coast Guard in my home town when he met my mom, and shortly afterward became a mate for several charter fishing boats. When I was born, charter fishing didn't pay enough, so Dad became a commercial fisherman, dragging for flounder, squid, whiting (aka silver hake) and other species in the winter and swordfishing off Georges and the Grand Banks in the summers. After a few years on the boats, he became partner an a fish market for many years, until he took over as general manager of the fisherman's cooperative, where he worked until he passed away. As for myself, I started out as a "dock johnnie" pumping gas at a local marina. It was a small marina, so I'd spend most of my day goofing off fishing for whatever would bite the hook. As I grew, some of the owners would take me out on fishing trips, at first just runs in the bay for blues and stripers, but eventually I made a few 2 and 3 day trips to the various canyons for big eye tuna. When I was a bit older and learned that summer jobs don't pay bills in January, I took the commercial fishing route as well. For five years I worked a few different boats, fishing mostly for squid, but also for fluke, flounder, butterfish, whiting, herring, and even sea scallops. I wouldn't ever go back to it, unless I had no other choice, but I wouldn't trade the experiences for anything either. Since then, I'm strictly a recreational fisherman. Since I've started fresh water fishing, it seems I spend less and less time on the ocean, or even the bay. When I'm doing either, though, I can tell you that the techniques are very similar in many ways, and when it comes right down to it, fishing is fishing. Its in my blood, my heritage, and my soul, and I thank God I'm lucky enough to have been a fisherman for my entire life.
