Needing something to do to relax Betts decided to take up fishing. She went to the nearest tackle shop and grabbed a rod and reel combo. As she approached the counter the salesman, wearing a pair of dark sunglasses asked if he could be of help. “I’ve decided to take up fishing as a pastime but I’m afraid I don’t know much about the equipment. Could you please tell me about this rod and reel.” The salesman said,” Ma’am, I’m blind but if you’ll drop the equipment on the counter I’ll tell you all you want to know!” Even though she was a bit skeptical she did as the man asked her and dropped the rod and reel on the counter. “ Well ma’am, that is a 6’ graphite rod with a Zebco 202 reel spooled with 10lb. test line and it costs $20. It should be fine for you since you are just starting out.” “Fine” said Betts, “I’ll take it.” As the salesman headed for the register Betts passed some gas. “That will be $25.50” said the salesman. “I thought you told me the rod and reel was only $20.” “Yes ma’am $20 for the rod and reel, $3 for the duck call and $2,50 for the catfish stink bait.” 🤣🤣🤣

Moms been in OSU hospital for a few weeks with a diabetic complication with her right foot.
Amputation was being talked about. A lot.
Then they decided on a rigorous course of antibiotics .
Preparations were under way to transfer her home to an assisted living arrangement while this treatment was carried out.
This morning I was at pharmacy on my way to a meeting at the office.
Got a call from my sister. Mom had a massive stroke this morning.
I dropped what I was doing. Called the boss , explained the situation and drove to Columbus Oh st the university hospital there .
Man oh man! That was difficult to see.
Talked with her by phone this weekend , she was in good spirits. Gave me an ear full about how bad the hospital food was.
I was busy and didn’t go visit.
Now this. Poor , poor thing.
My niece is a nurse. She was candid. Said this is bad, real bad .
You don’t recover from a stroke like this.
I had a mild stroke a few years back and got lucky.

Please my friends , keep her and our family in your prayers.

Thank you.

Do you always use a leader when fishing with braid?


I always use a leader with braid
Join the two using the Alberto knot.
It’s a little involved but very strong
Better yet, the FG knot is very thin and very strong.
Also very complicated to tie in my opinion.
I only tie this at home.
Bouncing around on a boat is just too difficult for me.

Yea that’s why I’m considering the travel cover only.
It’s done a good job keeping out rain thru the summer and I’m not seeing the condensation issues in the hatches like I saw on the Lund.

Usually change the oil , but only got about 8 hours on the motor.
Dealer says bring it in after 25 hours so they can do an oil analysis.

Good advise all
I’m leaning toward shrink plastic over the fitted cover
Gotta top off the gas tank and add stabil
Probably fog the cylinders
