i like to eat healthy. that's why i eat the best breakfast you can get:

i absolutely LOVE the sound of cicadas. i know i'm in the extreme minority, but there it is, i said it 😄

they had to shoot him from behind, because they couldn't take him head-on. he was seriously tough. many times after a speech, (before being president) he would follow it with a challenge and have a fight or two. sometimes for several hours. i don't remember reading about him losing to anyone. ever. that said, he was human. everyone remembers him for ending slavery, and the civil war. you hardly ever hear anyone mention that he also suspended the constitution, and jailed ALOT of journalists because they disagreed with him. for me, that's what makes him interesting. he did big things, in a big way. he wasn't perfect, he was a real person, just like anyone else.

i saw the trailer, it looks pretty good

this for sure. ontario doesn't "recognize" lyme disease either, you wouldn't believe the insanity you have to deal with in ontario if you get it. i had a good friend who had to go through it, makes no sense. i remember being a kid about 13 or so. me and my buddies spent the day wandering around the marsh. i came home and was absolutely covered in ticks. my mom made me undress in the yard. there were 17 ticks just under the collar of my flannel shirt. my mom searched and found every tick on me, and my dad smoked about 900 unfiltered pall malls that he also used to burn them until they popped. after that they bought me a can of off. hahaha

as soon as i saw the title, i knew who you were posting about. he was the undisputed world heavy weight champion of the major scale. i guess some of you can remember that t-shirt from way back in the day that said "if there's a rock and roll heaven, they must have a hell of a band" and it has names of all the greats that are gone.

agree! it's one of the best ages for grandsons. you can take them out to do alot more fun things than you can when they're real little.

actually, it can be very easy: https://www.allrecipes.com

this is my oldest brother's favorite joke of all time. sometimes he tells the punchline and skips the rest of the joke

once upon a time on a summer's day, there were some nuns who had decided to paint the inside of their convent. it was VERY hot that day, so they decided to take off their head dress. after a while, they were still hot, so they took off their habits. soon they realized it was still too hot, so they stripped off all of their remaining clothes. their thinking was that no men were around, so it would be ok. they continued painting, but after some time, there was a knock at the door. "oh my!!!" they thought, "who could it be?" so they went to the door and and meekly called out "who is it?" the reply came back "it's the blind guy". they thought, "oh it's ok, he can't see anything anyway, let's see what he wants" they opened the door, and a man standing in the doorway said "wow! nice boobs! where do you want the blinds?"

mcdonald's, wendy's etc. is not food. it's a food-like substance that some people still eat despite the ridiculous price and un excusable wait times. don't eat that garbage. i eat plenty of junk, but you gotta draw a line somewhere. i haven't eaten any of that stuff in ages. the last time i did, it was a double quarter pounder with cheez, and a large fry. i threw it up in less than 2 hours. it would have been better if i just took $20 and flushed it down the toilet.

just like everyone else said, dealing with digitaka is fantastic, 100% of the time. my only beef with them is the pangs i feel, knowing that getting the same level of service from an american company is extremely rare.

maybe swap in one from a tesla? 😆

i throw a spinnerbait more than anything else, by far. usually large, twin willow bladed ones. often times, it seems like they fly pretty well up to a point, and then slow down almost all at once. i mean, on a calm day. in the wind it's another matter. unless it's blowing directly at me, i find it to be somewhat useful. it's how i throw a curve. theoretically it should work with other baits that catch alot of wind but for whatever reason, i can only do it with a spinnerbait.

yes, it is normal, for me at least. as i said, i'm a bank fisherman, i'm always walking and casting, i only carry a single rod with me when i go out. i haven't had the kind of blowout that would send me home, in AGES. i sure hope i didn't jinx myself by saying that. hahahaha

i'm a bank fishing guy, and i never fish at nite. if that's all i'd get from the dc feature it's indeed wasted on me. you mentioned lew's. i have 2 lew's reels, and i have to say, they're not bad. i have a mach crush and a mach...something or other that's black and green. that reel has put up with more abuse than i have a right to expect from it, and it still works great. the reel i use most is a jdm daiwa sv ltd. i can cast the tiniest of lures with it. i do alot of creek fishing, so i use it more than anything else

i agree. i taught myself on a garcia 5000, ages ago. the only instruction i got was when my sister's boyfriend told me how to set the spool tension, and what to do with my thumb, one night when he came over to see my sister. i hadn't even bought the reel yet. my thinking is, if he is backlashing like that, what is the dc system doing that the other's aren't? for the extra expense, it should be bringing something to the table, and i don't see what that is. if i can buy the same reel without the dc feature, for about $70 less, and get the same performance, what is the extra money for other than the noise?

it seems to me that this video also confirms (although he doesn't actually say it) the dc feature is snake oil. he's throwing a torpedo in optimal conditions, and the reel acts like any baitcaster without dc would, although he is throwing some really long casts.

guilty as charged 😆 i rarely buy anywhere besides tackle warehouse, and i watch a TON of fishing videos

the 5000 was the casting reel i started on too, back in...1979 or somewhere there abouts

i feel that for sure. not so much at the bait shop, but definitely at the gas pump. baits are expensive, but i have curbed my buying considerably the past couple years

i've had a curado dc for a few years now. it's been a pretty good reel for me. however... the longer i have it, the more i use it, the more i think the dc part doesn't do anything other than make a cool noise. it doesn't cast any better or worse than any of my other reels. i rarely backlash no matter what reel i use. i grew up with the garcia round reels, and i learned to use my thumb pretty well. this has me asking for your opinions on this. do any of you experience the same thing as what i am talking about with your dc reel(s)? is my reel broken, or am i using it wrong? or is this a real thing? is the dc part just something designed to catch fisherman, rather than fish? i would like to hear your thoughts and opinions on this

you could be my long lost brother 😆

man, that is the COOLEST. i would love to have the skills and resources to do that.
