graphite is nice. There is a ST. CROIX factory with a store in it not far from me. I picked up a nice graphite rod for my open face Shimano reel. I swear you can feel the lure roll over rocks its so sensitive. And since I have friends that work there... they got me a discount. I think the rod was around $100.00 but its worth every nickel.

My life is sort of a cartoon, so I won't be surprised.

Smart man...

I don't bother wrapping my own gifts, my 3 daughters take care of buying my wife's..
Sounds like a smart guy! I've already bought myself a couple hundred bucks worth of presents and there may be more coming, LOL! My wife buys her "presents" year around so that also takes care of that problem and all she gets is a big kiss Christmas morning! My only granddaughter that was just 16 is the one who really makes out like a bandit every Christmas and she deserves it. She's never had below an A- all through school, plays the cello in an orchestra because of her talent, and she's also into athletics too.

Well.. umm.. obviously there is no need for any of us forum member to be reading Heloise any longer, what with hints like this, and the all the other Christmas solutions/hints that have followed.

Hint: Blackhorn is the safest powder to use in your muzzle loader......

Ain't so. Real black powder is the safest powder to use in a muzzle loader.
