throttleplate

do as i do, i buy equipment to use hard and dont worry about scratches only performance. I look at scratches as memories, battlle scars as i wade through thick brush to get to my spots. If i worried about dings and scratches i wouldnt own a vehicle then.

Winter shutdown lets me get my body healed and my mind into doing other things. I do strength training and focus alot on my shoulders including rotator cuffs and labrum strengthing with lots of yoga type of stretching to maintain my flexibility. For my cardio work we have a large hill here in town overlooking the red river and rain,heat, snow and ice cold temps dont stop me as i walk up and down that hill 30 times and my lungs get to burnin and so do the legs especially in the winter wearing snowboots but i push myself. Stationary bikes or treadmills are boring and running is to hard on the knees so the hill it is.

wife and i went out last saturday and looked and walked on our frozen favorite lakes and talked to some ice fisherman. Walked around the frozen shoreline and downed timber we wade and fish. The lakes look so much smaller when all covered with snow and with no shore brush and weeds my favorite wading spots look so easy to access.

be sure that the split ring rotates inside the hook eyelet smoothly or else hook will get hung up on split ring and screw up it ability to move freely. I had to go down to size 3 ring on some hooks for ring to move freely so i then switched to gama SuperLine ewg hook where the eyelet of hook is bigger and then was able to use size 4 split ring.

never used a tokyo rig, decided to make my own while watching tv. Snap ring pliers, reg pliers, wire cutter and a needle nose was all it took. Dont know how long i will make the leader wire, maybe experiment with different lengths.

you put 2 weights on opposed of each other.

The biceps tendon is attached to the top of the labrum. When the biceps tendon pulls on the labrum and tears the labrum it its called a slap tear. The surgeon told me now adays instead of fixing the labrum tear they just cut the biceps tendon completly lose and let it shrivel up like a rubberband.

no roof rack. I will have to measure from the base of the windshield to the base of the back window and see if it will fit that way. It will then run between the the front seats and along my shoulder.

sucks when at 3 in the morning when you scratch your neck and realize its a tick burrowing in and your friends tell ya to go back to sleep and will dig it out in the morning.

i used 80lb 2 foot fluro leader on my jigs to combat the pike and works great.

ever watch the show naked and afraid? watch the episodes where the skeeters are in the millions and attacking for 21 days. I would have to tap out its not worth the prize money.

i will put a minnesota skeeter against your sc skeeter and see who loses.?

my goal is to buy a 1 piece 7.2 foot graphite rod and figure out how to fit it into my 2004 honda 2 door civic withut putting the back seats down. The back seat is allready packed and i dont want the road noise getting worse from the trunk and the wife likes the air conditioning in the summer and exposed trunk will kill the air. I am currently using ugly sticks new carbon 2 piece spinning rods which to me are fantastic but dont come in a medium heavy.

hmm, i bought mine at fleetfarm. Anyhow the only problem i encounter with them is snapping into a deep recessed popper where i end up having to give a slight bend to the clip wire. Maybe have to put a ring on the popper what do you do?

i use the exact same and my snap on the line now has been used for so long that the black nickle finish has worn off and now its shiny stainless steel.

i dated a girl while stationed in california, i told her i was from north dakota, she asked me where is north dakota, i said below canada, she asked me where is canada. Her name wasnt karma.

Get the operation, thats my opinion from me whom has had 9 surgeries in my lifetime to my body joints. My elbow operation on inside tendon was a fast recovery. Dr operated as i told him i needed!!! to get back to work as quick as possible or lose my job as injury was iniatianally not work related. Ended up missing only 3 weeks and i was a heavy equipment mechanic and slowly progressed gaining strength while working and limiting using my right arm for power and using my left untill i gained strength. I only had 2 therapy sessions as they showed me what to do and then was on my own. Then my outside tendon tore a few years later and a different dr screwed around and shot me up with streoids and it didnt help and refused to operate and left me in pain for 2 solid years untill i couldnt stand it and we got into an argument and i got another dr and had operation 3 weeks later. Again 2 rehab sessions showed me what to do and bye bye did it at home and going on 3 years now elbow is great. The 2nd elbow surgery took 8 months to heal which was a lot better than constant pain for 2 years prior to operation My choice is always to get the operation so i can move on in life as fast as possible. The therapist always want me to push through the pain and i agree as some days after my own therapy my elbow was in flames and i wondered if i was getting better but i did.

wife bought me some arashi square bills 1.5. One with rattles one silent. Of course i found them on the bottom shelf super sale area at fleetfarm that was picked over but why didnt the anglers grab the last 2 arashi in an empty sales bin? Cost was $1.24 each. She also bought me a rapala ripstop 11, kvd 2.5 square bill and 1.5 and a origial floating rapala all requested by me but she also bought some spinners that she lost to replentish our tacklebox which she picked out herself that she likes to throw, black head,skirt and neon orange willow blades. I bought her jewelry which she has a pretty big collection, bigger than my lure collection.

my wife today shoveled the 1/2 inch dusting we got in fargo nd overnight. She asked me why us northerners always complain about the cold when we should be used to it. This is her 2nd winter in the usa.

fargo nd had a cabellas and a gander mountain around 9 years ago but they couldnt compete with scheels which has been here since the 60,s. Scheels is expensive for its clothing for men, woman kids but the fishing is pretty in line with Fleetfarm. People here just flock to scheels as it is the only real sporting good place in town with no competition. The scheels lures branded scheels work fine except for the hooks attached. For example i snaged 2 lures square bills on a lilly pad stem and the treble hooks didnt bend they snapped off and left me with 2 hooks out of 3 on the treble.

amber, sturdy frame, not half frame where the lense hangs free on the sides and bottom. Must have a curved frame look and the arms bend over the ears some not a straight arm. The nose section must be formed with the frame not wire bendable nose pieces. Must be tight enough to be able to slide up to top of my head and never fall off also rotate them down by chin while still holding onto my head. My glasses never come off my head all day, i dont ever lose them and i dont use a strap as stated above they fit like a tight glove. I dont spend over 25.00 for recreational fishing glasses but i do spend $300.00 for my prescription sunglasses which only come into play for driving to and from the lake.

i am a mechanic and i was rebuiding the 4 barrel carburator for my glasstron carlson jet boat at the kitchen table and my girlfriend at the time bought a desktop computer. I never used a computer before and this was in 2000 and she told me i need a good all around username and i didnt even know what that meant so anyway she taught me the basics. I tried a bunch of names and they were all taken so i looked at the carb sittin on the kitchen table and thought no one gonna use the name of a carb part for a name so throttleplate it is.

I never tried the gator, i was more interested in eating the appetizers. if its good enough for a fish to eat and we do eat fish why not give it a try?
