Way, Way Off Topic - Christmas Gift Wrapping
Got this tip from my mother-in-law years ago. It's saved me much aggravation.
If you have a very large package to wrap, don't bother with those skimpy rolls of gift wrap. Get a large, cheap paper Christmas theme table cloth from a party store.

I was surprised to see plastic cheaper than paper here below (2.99 vs 3.99)

One thing my father in law told me years ago is each Christmas and each birthday buy yourself something nice...That way you know you get one good gift!!!
Smart man...
I don't bother wrapping my own gifts, my 3 daughters take care of buying my wife's..

Christmas is for children I say... and wives that used to DEMAND something even when they told you not to. Ever run into one of them.. "Don't buy me anything" means you better pick out something really nice for me. Or I make you New Years a living H3LL.
Instead, I purchase something really off the wall for myself. One year a new truck. Another year a custom made flintlock rifle. I am sure looking at AR15 rifles and maybe a .45 1911 Colt this year.

Orvis Battenkill bamboo 5w and Hardy reel. Built in 1973, NEVER used, condition considered "Unique". Man I got a pile of money for that and I didn't have to wrap it.

BA.........I have enough bamboo rods. I want to try fishing the old (300 years old) North Country Spider flies as was done in the UK. It takes at least a 10' rod to do it right.
A 10' bamboo would weigh a ton, so I have to go to graphite. Probably a Hardy to keep in the spirit of this type of fishing.
