looks like we're wrapping again

that hat is old as the hills

I've been wrapping the past few daze

and it's early for that

usually work inside at the dining room table

when I wrap

the bench is empty

that's josh's 7012

o/s mildrum guide

chestnut tipped w/ claret

one coat varrnish - 50%

another sketch

there is something about this drawing that bugs the hell out of me

it's like every component is on a slightly different axis

giving it a sloppy look

this morning I added to it...

all components in alignment

only to lose it all again in the cut threads

of the mesquite reelseat

another sloppy result

those threads have got me baffled as to how to represent them

I know - I could play around in photoshop and get some ideas...

that's a waste of time and I've already wasted enough time on this

though I did enjoy the process 

all day music

just because it's so pretty

I gotta lotta

things to say

but it will have to wait until tomorrow cuz I'm lit

someone somewhere is smiling over me....

even if it's only the moon

I'll take it

rules are made to be broken

right?

I made some rules when I started this journey a hundred years ago

the blog yer reading I mean

and I've pretty much followed them all 

I have gone ahead and embedded some youtubes

and I've even linked an article or two

but I pretty much remain true to my all original content

(with the help of accompanying buddy photographers of course

and occasional ganked photos from the tubes)

I also think I've done a good job not bad mouthing any other fishing sites

though I'm sure after all these typestrokes

you can read between the lines at least

I tempted to pitch a bitch...

tempted mind you

I'm not gonna do it just yet but I sure do wanna

those of you who have known me a while 

know my history as a "web personality" if you will

that shit has come to a screeching halt

not entirely by my own hand

I heard a couple very interesting things today

while sitting in congress

HAHAHA I love that

a guy I know needs a rod dipped

and has asked some pretty reasonable guys if anyone would do it for him

I've washed my hands of this clown for any number of reasons

and he can say the same about me

no one seems willing to help from what I hear

key words those last

y'know what?

even though I can't stand the guy

I'd do it tomorrow

I don't know why but I would

maybe because I can?

I do enjoy it

nothing like watching that rod come out of the varnish the first time

all that work finally getting finished

the guy who told me this said I should tell him

and perhaps I just did

I responded 

I don't talk to that asshole

after all, I am a dick
