Clean reels, I guess.

Shop around for a left-handed bolt action rifle (7 mm to .308 cal) suitable for elk. Not for me, of course, but for someone else on this board. Shopping is fun!

Ok....ok....this is a thread hi-jcaking. for elk I would not go for .308. I would look for an 30.06 or the 7mm.

Also consider the new .300 WSM. I shot the Short Mag - and it definitely would pack a good wallup for Elk.

I need to fix one of my 50 class rods. Pooped a roller guide on a 9 ft blue last fall. Any advice on procedures/materials would be greatly appreciated. Strongly thinking about taking a jont on a party boat for some cod. Got a new hand held GPS so I can record all the spots we stop at and keep for when I'm out on my boat later in the season.

Saw that the show was last weekend in On the Water.

Figure out how to buy furniture retail (way cheaper) from a North Carolina broker. Decide if I can put in a hardwood floor myself. Nature walk to a dam site out in the woods.
