I have a question about fishing rod repair...

Me first ...re gearcase oil.
I think he mentioned something about North Carolina.... or was it South?
We can ask Larry to keep an eye out for him.
I don't know why, but I just don't see Tom being a happy camper living in
dixie.

'alf & 'alf as the Brits might say.
It would be nice to spend about 4... maybe 5 months in a nice balmy spot
over the winter/early spring and enjoy our climate from May till November.


Take a long Disney Cruise!

Oddly, as a "senior", it's much more advantageous to live down here
than in Connecticut.

For about a zillion reasons.

What part of SC are you thinking of moving to?

I'm in the Great State of South Carolina.

What 'cha need?
Ahhh. The tip is loose on one of my spinning rods. Never had one loosen
before. Have broken tips and have had them replaced, but I'm sure I can
"handle" this little repair. Question: what glue to use. That's it.

Actually, you proably only need to reheat the guide and reset it.

You can use a heat gun or a hair dryer on hot to loosen the glue and
reset the guide.

Or, failing that, super glue. Use the kind that has a filler in it.

Or epoxy.

Or electrical tape. :)


Electrical tape is too...well...South Carolinian for me. I mean, isn't
that what rednecks use to patch up their condoms?

For you, OK. I use duct tape. Takes the pressure better.

No thanks. What I don't want to find on a cruise are kazillions of
little brats.

To get away from your grandkids, you go to the adults only portion of the
ship. There are plenty of places to be 'kidless'. But, if you're going to
be with the grandkids, then you've got plenty of opportunity to do so!

Gee, in our younger days, we used cut up pieces of firehose.

Yeah, but we're not 'younger' any more!

Go outside, look up, and a little to the right... no pun intended

Yuk - Yuk...

Ever learn how to set a hook?

Sure, but every time I do I get messy slimey things in my boat...

Harry,
How far are you from the coast?
