[quote="Cracker Larry"]Not much to report this week. All prepped and ready for final painting, but the love bugs have moved in thick and nasty. It was 42 degrees the last 2 mornings so I'm hoping the cold will run them back to Florida http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg566/CrackerLarry/...

Re: VHF antenna repair

Back in the 70's I was casting for mackerel off the Newport Pier on Miami Beach with new 2 piece Ugly Stick (Shakespeare Co.) and the top half went flying. I mailed Shakespeare the fishing story and customer service mailed me the top section and a note "No Charge". I got a little older and...
