slip,
Put all my stuff away except for one surf rod and plug bag, waders and top, I may go tonight for and hour or so(after sons- B-day dinner). Only a few more trips in me I am afriad.
Garage looks empty now.
Van, Traded in my Salomon's for the lastest pair of dynastars yesterday. I was upgrading my kids stuff (an annual deal with their growth rates) and felt it was time I got something new...esp with the west coast trip planned. He gave me 3 bills for my skis which were 5 years old so if softened the pain a bit. Also if i don't like them after 3 ski days I can bring them back for something else. I will be at stowe over Xmas and will give them a work out. I never liked dynastars but they seem to have better line now....we will see.
A couple years ago I got a pair of "used boots" that looked brand new and fit perfect for my 10 yo son from this same guy for 50 bucks, my son loved them and beat the hell out of them for 2 years and he gave us 25 bucks for them on trade in! You can't rent stuff that cheap. Granted he bought a new decent adult boot this season and he really customized it to fit him perfect but at least is was something for his old stuff and he said he will re-sell it in a week. He is not the cheapest guy but his service and knowledge is worth the extra few bucks IMO.
I think I have a few more fishing trips in me this season but my mind is on snow now. My only regret is that I wish I had gotton some of those tog that I hear are piled up....I feel I missed out on some good eatin. One thing I did do though....do you remember that big swordfish they caught off MV...well they didn't sell it and they cut it up and gave it to all their familes. Well my kids teacher got a load and she likes bluefish, we traded bluefish for swordfish....man that was good eatin!
