Mark Knapp 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2019 Your killing me, my current stratagem of reduced caloric intake won't allow me to partake in such luxuries. I'm trying to get in better shape for a month of walking around in the mountains with a fly rod this summer. Enjoy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
