Anyone who works that many hours a week deserves a couple nice days of weather.

My girlfriend and I painted mine last night, I'm calling the color "powerplant pogie". They actually look pretty cool. I tried a bunch of new ideas, techniques and coatings on these, so hopefully you guys will fish them and (god willing) catch a few fish. Now its onto clear and I hope I hope I hope... I get my lips from NJT in time.

I can wait till all you guys are completed, I won't be fishing them anytime soon anyway. Looking forward to seeing them though , as most of us are.

I didn't sign mine since it was a colaborative effort.
I don't sign all my plugs anyway.

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.

As much as I'd like to be rolling in plugs on the floor, it's still a while before we can fish them. We have time. I can find the strength somewhere.
I signed mine with a paint pen.

Shipped mine yesterday, Tobias dont run for the hills when you get a package of diapers, much more than diapers in that box. Had a few quality control issues with the epoxy mainly a 3 year old blowing on them stirring up some dust but they still look 99.5% great. Hope everyone enjoys them.

Mabeee the commander in chief can take a group photo when he gets his package.

Andy, wait till you start sorting boxes out..... gets to be a little bit of a pain in the neck having to hold out the plug the builder made. Especially 22 boxes worth.
