Thanks, Doug. It feels and casts good; I'll see how well it fishes this spring.


Tim, I know an awful lot of folks that are much more worthy of the "Hero" distinction. I will accept the "Distinguished" part though Smile Two of the pics are me, one is a drawing made by one of my buddies that was turned into a poster, the others are pictures I took through the years. By the way; those Master Jump Wings have a bronze star mounted front and center Smile Smile

Jim,
Missed the bronze star. as Dave stated a lot of work to take in quickly. I never met a hero who thought he was one.

Jim, I really forgot to say that you are ALL Heroes to me. Thank you for doing what had to be done.

Thanks guys. The way I see it, I was able to shoot ammo and blow demo that costs more than I'll ever pay in taxes and I got paid for it to boot! Now, if I could get paid for building fishing rods too that would be the icing on the cake; I'd have to get much better at it though.
