Good sized crowd today, considering the weather.  Lines were long at all the usual suspects.
 
There's at least two Jerky booths.  I'm a big fan of the Habanero jerky...
 
The new SurfHog rubber is going to be a thing of beauty no matter how it is fished.  It'll be snaking along behind my Wobble Heads for sure this year.
 
Lots of familiar faces and some new ones as well.  Fun show as usual...  |

				 | Definately a good time.  Met alot of people today for the first time.   Never been heckled so much in my life.  Guess I do have a problem with plugs.   
Loaded up on Hab's and Afterhours and replaced my mysteriusly disappearing blurple Tattoo swimmer.  Also had a couple nice fixter needles in the mailbox when I got home.   
Hit the trinity brewhouse for lunch and had some really good stout and the best pulled pork sandwich I've ever had.  Unfortunately the pitcher of IPA that Clogston29 and I washed it all down with tasted like corn oil.   Should have stuck with the stout. |

Pete, glad you found the rubber to your liking- every time i walked by your booth, beachmasters were flying left and credit cards were flying right   |  A year or two ago, I was looking into the booth and saw a short guy reaching for a Habs hung up high.  As he was stretching to reach it, a tall guy reached in from behind and swiped it from him.  From the look the short guy gave the tall one, I thought for sure the booth was about to be knocked over.
 
Truly a classic RISAA show plug fever incident.
 
Today was civilized, although intense... |

				 | Very good show. Saw tons of folks from here! Restrained myself from over indulging as I have a boat to pay for....However, I did screw up. Got home, spread my stuff all over the floor, and proceeded to tell how I got my pocket knife sharpened at this one booth selling shapeners... The guy even sharpened a kitchen knife to the point where he could filet a piece of paper! Well I am in doghouse because it seems I have too many knives that need sharpening in the kitchen....
 So, if anyone is going to the show, that could pick up the sharpener he recommended for kitchen knives....please PM me. thanx

				 | Talked with a number of S-Bers today. Had a good hour or so at the show (had to peruse then split). I made sure I was first in line at the ticket booth and I think first to buy a beachmaster today!
 Larry I did get those plugs today. Thanks. They look great and the blitz seeker is going be a killer!
 
 Taking my five year old back, probably sunday.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
 1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
 
 It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
