The reel I have has seen better days. Clunkers are okay as long as they work, but this reel of mine has a really tight drag. I may try taking it apart and servicing it, but instead I might just stick it on my grandpa's bamboo rod and hang it on the wall. Mandi: You didn't grow up in central PA, so you're not familiar with the Amish influences on the language (e.g., "throw papa down the stairs his hat"). That's okay, I'll forgive you. I *suppose* that "not alone and pregnant" would be a little more clear to your southern ears. ;) Bob: Thanks, I may take you up on the offer sometime. The reel I have has seen better days.

I've got an old clunker of a fly rod and reel that you can borrow indefinitely if you need something to learn on. learn to cast well with "the black beast" and you'll be an expert. if/when you upgrade, you'll be a fine caster indeed. it's overkill for trout, but good for bass, panfish, etc. and if you make an ikea run, we may want to place an order and help pay for gas. jim rocks, in many ways.

Retail is only a portion of their business model. He's only one of a few folks nationally who are qualified to do and teach certain aspects of clock and watch repair. As far as retail is concerned, we helped him publish one of the largest online collections of Howard Miller clocks - so hopefully the retail side will become more prevelant.

Better yet, I'll comission Jim at <a href="http://www.clockandwatch.com" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">Clock Works</a> to make a custom Uglyhead watch. The cool thing to me is that he actually could do it. Encrusted… never thought of that. Better yet, I’ll comission Jim at Clock Works to make a custom Uglyhead watch.

What, with you rubbing shoulders the other week with the Hollywood elite! I suppose I should put the L series Canon lenses back on the list, then? Maybe you could have it gold plated or encrusted with diamonds? They're all as follows... 9/26 - yo 10/6 - mi esposa 10/13 - mi hijo 2/27 - mi hija Yeah, I hadn’t thought of that.
