Have you ever taken a day off work to fuss with plugs?

This is getting to be a serious problem. There needs to be a plug-makers anonymous association.

Ran into PNG yesterday at CCtackle, he caught me loading up on plug stuff.

Thumbs up

Yes. Kinda. First day on the job, as I was unloading my tools, I found out that the guy who hired me had mislead and lied to me. Wasn't there 15 minutes. Threw the tools that I could lift back into my truck, and for one day I was a pro plug maker. He called me and said that it was all a misunderstanding. I said I would choose to believe him. I was right the first time and was gone in a year. So yes I did ditch work to fuss with plugs...

Never ditched work to do plugs......but I have brought them to work to work on them, especially during the priming/sanding stage

What did you do with the tools you couldn't lift?

On my day off I wired up and puts hooks on a dozen plugs I painted and worked on over the entire winter. (Actually had to clear bench to wrapped rod). I lined them all up and was trying to figure out which ones I was going to fish first and couldn't. I didn't take the day off to do it, but it felt good nonetheless.
