SuperLoogieCrunchies are about done.
 
Having a couple commit lozenges per day but houdl be stopping those soon. 
 
Still when I see someone smoking a Marlboro light I want to first bum one, smoke and savor it, than beat the crap out of 'em for being stooopid    
Yep, hypocrite in the making

 Anyway...cool thread and I will check in.
 
 Oh yeah, the worst thing so far is my teeth and gums hurt like hell.

I already bought, two rods, two dozen plugs, two, no four reels. Eight spools of line(braid), since I quit. lol 
Well, not exactly, but I feel better.   |
