From Saturday, same body of water as above.

Honestly, I don't remember if I posted this. It's from month ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNWfK0pF8uQ

Just a quick note while the internet is working. It usually isn't. I don't know if it's my laptop or the hotel. I'm able to get on for a few minutes, once in a wh

👍

That's directly from the "Hold my beer" and/or "Hey y'all, watch this" files. I just hope they don't move and live on my street.

Geezo Peezo !!! I have trouble getting online for a couple of days and all hell breaks loose !!! Nick, please take care of yourself. I sure hope you get and stay better. I hate to hear that you're coverage doesn't help with the cost of meds ... as you said, that can get expensive. Good luck with a quick and long lasting recovery.

Thanks guys. I enjoyed making those. I haven't been online in two days. Either my laptop is going bad (highly likely) or the hotel's wifi is. Since my work laptop doesn't seem to be having the same problem ... I foresee a new laptop I don't really wanna buy in my near future.

As Capt. Bob said, it's what the locals call their city. Jacksonville is too long a word for today's people, so they just call it "Jax".

Thank you. Just 3/4" aluminum channel. The wood is doweled an glued at the 45° then shaped for the rounded edges and to fit in the channel snug. The channel is cleaned and polished then screwed into the walls. The shelves then just slide into place.

LOL Niveker. They commissioned an "artist". Actually, I don't know if they actually built it or not. Since I don't live there and haven't been there in more than 15 years, I haven't seen it myself. (if it exists) The picture I posted, it seems now, is the artist's vision and what the owners of "The Riverfront" used for it's promotion of the concept.

🙂Thank you.

That is a "sculpture". 18 million bucks. It says "Jax" !!! But it's been "Lerp" to just about everyone since it went up. It's huge ... you can see the people walking at the base of it.

Well, I'm flying, not driving. Back to Yorktown VA.

Half of the past 40 weeks were spent on the road. Due to that, I wasn't able to get a whole lot done. I did start a few projects but didn't get to finish any ... until now. Over the past three weeks, I got a cabinet built for one of the restrooms. And some shelves for the vanity area of that same area. Our house renovation is just about done. Another three weeks on the road and then I'm done with the travelling ... possibly forever.

I think Utyer makes trips in his kayak up to "Lerp" ... maybe MY best friend bought that ticket !!! 18 million dollar sculpture is supposed to say "Jax". Everyone says it look like "Lerp". Maybe the winner will pay for a better sculpture.

Looks like a Smallmouth Bass. Impressive clip. Congrats to those who got that on video!

Um ... no. Bought mine here in Deltona. Jacksonville ... guess I should've driven up there to buy my ticket. Just an FYI. If I ever DO win the lotto ... Wife just said, "You have NO friends except ME!"

And that's why people pay $25.00 or more for a single swim bait. Big bait, big fish. I once caught a 3 or 4 pound bass and while I was removing my lure, noticed the tail of an 8 or 10 inch bass sticking out of it's throat. It hadn't completely swallowed it's previous meal and went after my Sticko.

Yep ... they say vision is the second thing to go as you get older. I don't remember what they said went first. Hmmmmm.

Convenient ... having three hands like that !!!

Welcome to the site, 358. To many of the tiers here, fly tying is not something you do while also watching TV. It's an engrossing hobby that takes most of your attention to the details. I'm like that to a small degree. Distractions are not welcome. That said, I've seen a lot of members speaking of having a computer showing fly fishing or tying videos while they're tying. I don't even have music on, usually. I think the main reasons people don't tie in the living room while watching TV are the amount of "stuff" that ends up on the desk top and the mess of trimmings and cut offs. Pretty hard to keep track of all that on a TV tray or other small table. It's done by some, for sure, but I don't think many do it. I rarely tie "just for fun". I tie what I need for my fishing. In that vein, I sit down with all my attention on the "task" at hand. No distractions, just fly tying until I have enough of the pattern(s) I'm needing. Good luck on your journey into this hobby/addiction.

Although your odds of winning are astronomically against it ... you have an absolute zero chance if you don't play at all. I've got one number I've played for 20 years. Won $900.00 once and $450.00 once. Still hoping for the "retirement plan" amount to fall into my hands!

Is that green and blue one headed for a house in Florida?

That's a nice bass.

Already working on it, Silver. This thread isn't about mine being too high ... it's about DWSmith's being lowered and if he'll adapt to that or keep having dizziness, etc. issues.
