Lance Kekel 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2023 Dang Steve! I log in for the first time in more than a year and this is the first post I see!! Its been an awful long time since this all started. I've been spread pretty thin and trying to make it back around to some of my old stomping grounds here after I ran a search online and hit my old contest fly. Hopefully keep in touch.

(Personally, I hate cell phones especially smart phones. I wish I could go back to a landline with a couple of high tech accessories; an answering machine and a caller ID device. 👍 ) Reducing the use of cell phones would probably do a lot of us some good Yep I have not had a cell phone since the old Nokia ones 20 yrs ago with "snake" as the only game. I hate cell phones. IMO they are to blame for a huge part of the degradation of society. So I gave them up. I just have a landline. If anyone wants me, they call and my phone rings and if I am not home then my answering machine pics up. IMO nothing is so important that I need to be on call 24/7 like a cell phone (leash /gps tracker) is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SilverCreek 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2023 I have a Tracphone that costs me about $100 a year. I just keep it with me for emergencies. $99 a year for 400 minutes. I never use the unused minutes so they carry over. I must have over 3000 minutes. https://www.tracfone.com/plans/basic-phones-full-year-plan-400-minutes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just curious about what you said. 👍 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ephemerella 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2023 Thanks Steve - I've enjoyed this site since about 2005 or so and seen its ups and downs.

MuskyFlyGuy 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2023 Steve Late to the thread, but want to add some thoughts. This site has turned many long time lurkers into active participants and that is a reflection on your vision and the way you implemented it. You have created a safe and growth oriented place for all levels of tiers and fishers to safely get involved. My tying has improved because of all the supportive tiers on this site. The rods, both fly and spinning, are continuing joys to fish. Thank you Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
