I didn't know who the guy was till I saw this come across my news feed.


Why would it make me happy? Why are you so simple-minded?


As soon as you do something worthwhile here, I'll consider it.

Like talk about boats? Hey while digging through my grandpas old garage I found my old zebco 202 rod and reel set he gave me for my 8th grade graduation present. I'm getting ready to take it apart, re-thread it and use it this summer. I caught a lot of bluegill crappie and fiddlers with it when I was a kid. May as well do it again. Especially off my brothers pontoon when we hit the lake next week.

To you that's probably not worthwhile but it's boat and water related so....


Similarly...one of my oldest friends, a guy I've known for 65 years,
spent his summers at a beach cottage in Milford, and his parents had a
garage on the property they used to store "stuff." I kept my fishing rod
there, in a barrel, with a bunch of his family's rods. Well, the cottage
burned down years ago, so the friend replaced the old cottage with a
nice "A-Frame" modern cottage. A year ago, he was poking through the old
garage and found my fishing rod and reel. It was a Penn reel my uncle
gave me, a pretty decent one, probably cost $15 back then, on a medium
weight bottom fishing rod. He cleaned up the reel and says it works
"just fine." I'm going to visit him this summer and I'm sure we'll go
fishing for porgies and snappers the way we used to, back in the day, in
his modern fiberglass 16' dory with its small outboard. Naturally, the
night before, we'll dig up sandworms for bait.
