Woo Hoo!!! 200 replies (122 from Bloo

ok Company policy:

Start with a cage containing five monkeys. Inside the cage, hang
a banana on a string and place a set of stairs under it. Before long, a
monkey will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana. As soon as
he touches the stairs, spray all of the other monkeys with cold water.

After a while, another monkey makes an attempt with the same
result all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon, when
another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent
it.

Now, put away the cold water. Remove one monkey from the cage
and replace it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and wants to
climb the stairs. To his surprise and horror, all of the other monkeys
attack him.

After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to
climb the stairs, he will be assaulted.

Next, remove another of the original five monkeys and replace it
with a new one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The
previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm!

Likewise, replace a third original monkey with a new one, then a
fourth, then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the
stairs, he is attacked. Most of the monkeys that are beating him have no idea
why they were not permitted to climb the stairs or why they are
participating in the beating of the newest monkey.

After replacing all the original monkeys, none of the remaining
monkeys have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, no monkey ever
again approaches the stairs to try for the banana. Why not? Because as
far as they know that's the way it's always been done around here.

...And that's how company policy begins

Anthony, your best bet for that would be to wind it on to an extra spool if you have one then do like you said and put more backing on.
I thought an 1/8" was good, do you want it to be 1/16" instead?

In the future you could start with the extra spool first working backwards, much easier.

I buy 1000 yds so I re-spool and don't worry untill the last spooling.

I got an extra spool for my reel so it will make it easier. I want to get it almost right to the edge I figure I can get 10 more yard on there. I figure i want this braid to last all season without respooling and I figure I will lose at least 20 yard by the end of the season from cutting off damaged line and you always lose a few inches while tieing knots so the little extra would be good.

bloocrab · 02-08-2002, 01:19 PM

....Anthony, if you fill that baby to the edge....

...you're gonna be losing a lot more than 20 yards.....the first few times

....if you got an 1/8 of an inch to the edge, thats ok.....play with that for now......LEARN YOUR BRAID!!....thats important. There are nooks and crannies about Braid that you'll only learn as you use it...don't be too concerned with getting it to the edge.....

.....just my opinion of course......

chris L · 02-08-2002, 01:51 PM

All I know is : Im going to a party , im going to a party at slips house next Saturday .

The family wheeled Grandma out on the lawn in her wheel chair where the
activities for her 100th birthday were taking place. Grandma couldn't
talk very well but she could write notes fairly good when she needed to communicate.

After a short time out on the lawn Grandma started leaning off to the
right and some family members grabbed her and straightened her up and
stuffed pillows on her right.

A short time later she started leaning off to her left and again the family grabbed her and stuffed pillows on her left. Soon she started leaning forward and the family members again grabbed her and tied a pillow case around her waist to hold her up.

A nephew who arrived late came running up to Grandma and said, "Hi
Grandma, you're looking good, how are they treating you?" Grandma
motioned for her little notepad and slowly wrote a note to the nephew,

"They won't let me fart".
