^ Hey Roddy....how ya been!

Yer gonna give Monty heart palpitations......
He just told me he sold thousands worth of the collection he had ho'ed and hoarded over the years......trying to simplify his life....

Now after seeing these, he's likely to start building up again....
Best of luck and health to you and your wife for 2015......

I hear Monty might be taking a Spring road trip to your neighborhood, to see what those rivers are all about....
(He's a freaking road-traveling nomad now...... )

actually it was not the way it looked in the pic,I stripped off the epoxy and that's what you are seeing,I then drilled out the old eyes and put in bigger ones and left the old pink paint.
in the refit pic it looks as it did new.
I was lucky that most of the old black top paint came off with the epoxy chipping,didn't have to sand anything.
it did have a few bangs though.

well,my tendonitis has healed pretty good,still more to go but, doing much better,no more limping for 2 months+.
Monty is very good at liquidating assets,wish I could do it like he does.
Ditto for you and yours M8,,,can't wait to get out there with the wife to try a few.

I know it,he fishes hard like I used to do in my youth.now,I go when the tide is good and fish long,slow,crank by crank.
hope it is not like last may/june if he does.
it sucked big time last year,fish showed up hit good then vanished in a good,solid 11 days.


cheers
