  1. There are single clips of this show out there but Rockpalast posted the whole show 2 days ago. What a great set list.
  2. Don’t go half way around the world and cheap out Troph. Get the Abel, two of those less expensive rods (find an online shop that allows returns and buy one right before your trip if you think you might return it), buy two lines and two sets of backing, a ton of leader shit and a half dozen pairs of flip flops to make “flies” and you’ll be good to go. Send pics. (And get a decent 8 weight setup for those bonefish too)
  3. I googled her name and came up with a reddit thread. She has/is getting a MSc in Sociology degree at Oxford. Could be genuine ignorance of her ineptness or a long game, Andy Kaufman style experiment.
  4. Looks like they would def have grass for the nobody rides for free. ETA: LOL at cajun providing boat rides for the land based poors of Canyon Lake and dreds for throwing up the shocker.
  5. @troph is going to pitch a fit if you say you are going fly fishing for giant trevally tomorrow.
  6. So, you driving a Sienna or Odyssey?
  7. I preferred them out of uniform, but to each his own.
  8. Wikipedia says there are that egg cells and sperm were harvested from the last NWRs when they died and 9 fertilized NWR embryos exist. They will try to implant in surrogate SWRs at some point. Interesting if tech could bring back this subspecies.
  9. Got back Sunday from camping 8 nights on the Frio River. We stayed at Andy's on River Road as family had reserved two cabins there. I tempered my disappointment in staying that far from the water with the fact that one of the cabins was 42 steps from the front door of Andy's new liquor/beer store. We reserved day passes ahead of time and went into Garner for a couple of the days, did a couple of days tubing on the river and went to the Andy's Gravel bar across from 7 Bluff a couple of days. The river and beer were cold, the sun was hot, the meals cooked were great and the family companionship after a year of quarantine was enjoyed. We had a really great time. I didn't have my phone out much during the trip and noticed that I really didn't take any pictures. Oh well. We bought our camper and truck in early June of last year and took delivery of the camper almost a year ago. We were running through some stats on the drive home. Truck: 26250 miles with 3240 towing the trailer Trailer: 3240 miles (all in Tx), 11 overnight trips, 32 nights sleeping in it.

    This. Though I did buy one off 2coolfishing way back when before it turned to dogshit.
  11. RIP Jerry Granelli, last surviving member of the Vince Guaraldi Trio. Here is Jerry with his trio playing the song everyone knows. What great style on the drums.
  12. College roommate had an uncle who left the fire pit at deer camp one night to go take a shit in the woods. It was cold and the uncle dropped a turd down into his coveralls and just pulled them right up on his back. Didn’t realize it until some back at the fire started asking what smelled. Said they gave his all kinds of hell about that.
  13. Ross Kemp has some very good documentaries. Search Youtube for some of his series.
  14. I was surprised he was even listening enough after the No thanks to even post the rest of what she said.
  15. The pics are great and looks like an awesome trip but you need to get this girl to sit on the starboard side of the dingy and run that outboard with her left hand like Ole Evinrude intended.
  16. Tetioara is closer to Tahiti than Bora Bora. We did 5 nights in Moorea, 4 in BB and 1 in Tahiti proper for our 15th anniversary. In 2006 we paid $450-800 a night and I imagine it’s close to double that a night now for where we stayed. We’ve talked about going back but $$$.
  17. Don’t get pissed when your guide starts calling you “le débutant” in French.
  18. The problem with just looking at weight tow rating is that it ignores cargo/load capacity of the truck. It is very easy to exceed cargo capacity with passengers, bed cargo and tongue/pin weight, in fact that is probably exceeded much more often that actual trailer tow weight. Add in 4WD and a diesel and you take real hits on load capacity. My old 4WD Crewmax Tundra has shit for load capacity: 1341lbs. I had a truck cap on it and carries a couple of hundred pounds of gear and tools most of the time in it which left a very capacity for trailer tongue weight. When we first looks at RVs, we had several sales slugs at dealerships tell us we would be fine towing a 27-28’ trailer with the Tundra. I see this on RV forums a lot where a newbie is told by a truck dealer and the camper dealer that their new 1/2 ton 4WD crew cab truck will be awesome to tow that new “1/2 ton towable” 30’ travel trailer that has a 9k gvwr. They then load the bed up with bikes, chairs, firewood and coolers and and then all the shit in the trailer and that 650lb dry, unloaded tongue weight becomes 1k+. Add Mom, Dad, the 3 kids and golden retriever and that half ton truck gets pushed all over the road on their first two trips and they are back the dealer buying a 3/4 ton.
  19. This guy has a good watch channel and is always suggesting best watch for $XXX amount. Here is his recs for $500
