Futzer 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2009 When you keep a vise permanently mounted to a TV tray in the half bathroom. Cheers Futzer. :hyst: Leave it to Futzer to turn a comic thread into a think tank. That's a world-class idea, right there. Safety tip! I only tie large patterns in the half bath, as it is not the place to spill a hundred size 20 hooks. BTW I stole that idea from an ad in the Drake Magazine. Cheers, Futzer While I am here, you know you are tying too much when you are brushing your teeth for bed and you poke yourself in the cheek with your tying scissors that you neglected to leave at the TV tray in the half bath. True story. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lytle 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2009 I must admit I am guilty of some of these! Here is a few more though. You can tell your tying to much when... Your mom askes "Why do you brush the Cat EVERY night?" When you have customers asking for your best fly and you have to tell them that the fly is no longer available at the moment due to the fact that the Cat is not in this life. (true story) When your GF is looking at you funny as you read this and Gets IDEAS!!! (ie...where is my saddle hackles!!!!) When you GF wants you to go to bed and says hint hint and your clueless cause your reading this post.. When you pause and stop a video on fly tying so much that it crashes your computer (um...actually did this saturday) When your parents ask if they can send you anything, you ask for your tying stuffthat is in the basement storage When at night your GF is mentioning fly tying materials, lighter fluid and bonfire in her sleep ...still trying to figure this one out. When you propose to the love of your life..u substitute the Diamond for a beutifully tied #20 CDC Elk tied by Hans Your mom wants to know where her nice new feather earings are and u just whistle. When the neighbors have pecocks and you drive by really fast in the hopes that one is out in the road that day You drool over certain roadkills When you tell your GF that Fly fishing and tying are a lot safer than bull riding so you can get that new Rotary Vise you have been waiting years to get.
