shots from the shoppe

steve's 7012  ready to be cooked

cooking

randy's 7012 noded and ready for soaking

first real curls (after roughing) on the first strip of steve's rod

breaking news

coming soon from the rodde shoppe the wrocks

well I've got some pics at least

and doing a few things differently

and then there's this...

I'll have to wait and settle in to respond to this nonsense 

with elegance grace and humility

I suppose I'm perceived as a threat of some sort

perhaps because I know the dictator well enough to know he's full of shit

these guys

remind me of

of mice and men

http://tinyurl.com/ylqnsxg

and have so many great one-liners

w/ great music to go alongside

that too try to list some is superflous

anyways, they have another one

kinda like the other one

reeking of zee skunk

visited a couple beautiful places

only to find the waters running w/ mud

and no fish to hand or sight

shit

a lovley day to be out and about nevertheless

another roast chicken

w/ rutabagas, parsnips, carrots, leeks, onion and red potatoes

yes again

dependent upon cooperative flows

we'll see...

it's on!

not again

unfortunately postponed due to cold rain and high water

and candyass anglers

dig it...

this too, is something I rarely do

  but the points are good and important, even vital 

it is well worth the fifteen minutes required to listen

take it to heart

it could even improve your life

it has mine

God I love to cook 

and feed people

it is a big part of what makes us human

oh yeah - you should buy and read his books too

utter ridiculousness

and tiresome

how can you play the game when there are no rules

and then they change

it is not really in my nature to do such things, but...

blahdeefucking blahblah

fuck you buddy

thanks to epol @ bwtf for the above image
