Most difficult is working conditions ,,2 full size lathes , 2 drill presses,,2 bandsaws,powermiter,beltsander,vice, benchgrinder, handtools ,,all in an 8'x8' space..
Most enjoyable is handcarving ,not really caring when its done , listening to tunes.. no noise .

I still like to paint. I still like turning even though it does get a little old from time to time. I love a private kind word about success. Those are the best to me - someone who takes the time privately to say something worked for them.
Wiring - hate it. Larry - you like it? You need to see someone about that  .
Not sending slip the lip he needs - that is something else I hate - sorry man - I'll get it together one of these days. |

don't worry about it, I know you're busy
but you were the one who mentioned you had an extra 
I am pretty stupid, I just remembered I still have Chums' and could have got the size off that  I still need his address, he hasn't answered my pm.
Maybe Larry enjoys the wiring and rigging because it is the final stage and the plug is done finally. |
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.

It's a lot of work. I hate work. Work sucks. Time is money and it takes a lot of time, my time. I have to get really motivated, like for Plugfest or MSBA's plug extravaganza in August. ( can't wait to see Numbskull doing his presentation so I can heckle the sh!t ourt of him)
on the plus side there is the fact that now I fish my own stuff 80% of the time becasue it works.

Why even try.........

No - I know what you mean about the final stages. Even though I don't love to clearcoat I always have that little sense of relief when its done because the plug is protected. Clearcoating is the last step in the process where I can still screw things up.

I truly enjoy painting  That and putting the lures in front of fish.
I hate wrapping tail loops. Someone should make a haywire twist type thinggie and make like a million dollaz. I cant tell you how many lures I have primed, painted, cleared and wired waiting for tail loops... |
Domination takes full concentration..

worse than anything is hangers ... After all the rolling ,,twisting ,,bending,,it don't stick out the belly enough to get a split ring on . So you make another and its a big ,giant catch all loop sticking out of plug belly .. 3 rd time never fails ..
