Thanks KARL,Ill add to that.When harry was getting into making rods i offered him all my Dale Clemens books to learn how to do fancy butt wraps and loads of thread to get started.He took the ball and ran with it.Then as you said the "birds" did a job on him.Over the next few years he lost interest in the rod building and offered me his power wrapper[i already have one] for peanuts.we argued about how much and "why"and i tried to encourage him to keep it up.In the end he said "just get it out of here" so we argued some more and i gave him what i thought it was worth and he gave me back half.This spring he was going to get rid of all his benches and stock.Well,round and round we went again.In the end we moved all the rest into my cellar and "that's where it should be "he said,I don't want any f..n money.Today,I was over at Big Cliff pond trolling around in a jon boat[named JAWS]that I bought[after argueing about price]from him.I had this passing thought about him just before it started to snow then it faded away.I buzzed around in the snow,calm,and quiet for appx an hour then decided to get home before the crazies took over the roads.I got in around 2 and the phone rang a firefighter friend told me what had happened.He was a unique individual and i'll miss him every much.oh...HARRY! I know your looking at this.....YOU GOT ME BACK:!!!!!  today is the 1st day I didn't land anything.RIP. |
