The Lord weasel household is circling back around today. I may have to throw a Molotov cocktail through the living room window. Doing my best not to be consumed with hate. Doing my best to think of what needs to happen to get them the fuck out of what’s left of my hair. By the fuck, I mean all the fuck….
 
Boys…go. Go this spring. Get your gear together now. Go wet a line. If ya got young nieces or nephews or just a kid next door that needs to shut down an Xbox for a couple of hours…do it. You’ll thank yourself later.

WallyWorld sells cheap Chinese gear. You can get out of the door for under $50…that’s rod&reel, line, some tackle. If’n it breaks on the first trip, you got next to nothing in it. Just go grab another.

I will warn you though…if one is good 10 is better…IYKYK😉
Several years ago I did a VRBO on Maddox Creek off the Potomac at Colonial Beach. I can't remember how long it was since I had fished. I am glad I thought to buy fresh line before I went. All my surf gear and light tackle rods I had switched over to braided line because it is so much lighter. It dry rots quicker too. The monofilament I had on a crappy rod was so unused it was like trying to fish with a spring. Its been so long now I am sure I would have to replace all the lines. On the spinning reels the spools were a little oxidized where the line comes off. I still need to find a way to polish that off without damaging the spools. Most of my spinning reels are Dad's or from Dad. So I will not be replacing them. Or the good Penn reels I learned to surf fish on. One of the boat rods I will have to learn how to tie the eyes back on. But that is if I make it to the lake and buy a boat.
If there was a good place to catch a bream here I do have a 15 year old that has never caught a fish before. If I could find some still water accessible in the river I feel sure I could find a dinosaur sized catfish for her. Too much fun. I am not sure she would be into learning to clean it. But she will eat anything I cook.
Like going to the casino, I compare buying fishing gear to buying fireworks. Or when I did have boats, holes in the water I poured money into. Got to love it.
 
Did the weasel come to the higher being of your choice?

No, this was the regularly scheduled weekly weasel meeting. It’s where everyone gathers for 30 minutes to get on my last nerve.

There was one thing funny, they sent a little shit out to work on the fourth job in this series. This was last summer, end of June. That job had a self appointed mayor of the property, and the little weasel working for me got into a screaming cuss fight with him at 8:15 in the morning, and then he mouthed off to me when I separated them. I got him off the job ASAP. But that was back when I could do shit like that.

Some weasels need to stop converting oxygen to carbon dioxide….
 
I am supposed to come up with 6 month plan

I dont think "survive without choking the shit out of someone" is what she is looking for
Oh they hated to hear my responses when they asked me that. My plan is was completely dependent on how successful they were at theirs and directly related to how much money they wanted to spend. The software has to be upgraded to remain current and supported. Some upgrades require additional or the hardware to be replaced. Then to just make it clear most of what I did was react to other departments I would ask if they wanted me to reach out to other departments and verify if they were on target with their plans.
In the end I realized when they asked that question they had no idea what they were managing and wanted to see if someone could give them an outline they could tweak and provide to their management. Usually trying to figure budget issues. They always hated spending money on security.
 
Will likely need a dremel band saw and a vat of alligator lotion
I would like to swim in a vat of alligator lotion with a really forgiving masseuse. Long time winter fantasy.
The closest I came was last year. I took a big pump jar of Gold Bond Intensive Therapy and tipped big up front.
It didn't last as long as I thought it would.
 
Those zebco kids fishing sets were surprisingly good
Zebco. Cheap and reliable. I still have mine and the rod Dad matched it with. I need to figure out how to give it the oil bath mentioned earlier.
I want to crappy fish with someone competitive. I still have the cane poles and my Dad's 18foot fiberglass cane pole. He'd always get the boat set my 12 foot wouldn't reach the bed. Good times. I'd use that zebco with a jig and try to keep up. Just thinking about fishing makes me happy.
