I was always told the closed face reels were more reliable but the open faced always seemed to work better for me. With the closed face I always seemed to end up with a knotted tangled mess
This^^^^
I hated the Zebco closed face reels. I know a retention pond that has at least 2 of them in it. Probably pretty deep in the muck after 55 years though.
Edit - That lake has one of these in it also....

No doubt due to the dozens of ongoing lawsuits concerning the SIG P320.

Hey! Go easy on the Porsche drivers.
I drive mine like, well I am, an old man. Intersections are the worst. For some reason people don't see me coming. I'm dodging other drivers constantly. Mine is 23 years old and I hope to have it long enough to put collector plates on it.
Worst drivers in my area are the young bucks with pickup trucks. Between the hormones and the horsepower, they have a hard time keeping it under control.
You know the old saying....'If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the Porsche!"

The All Star 3rd baseman Jose Ramirez (from my beloved Cleveland Indians, er, uh, Guardians) has stepped out of the game because of some minor injuries he’s had and wants to stay healthy for the regular season. I respect his decision even though I would have liked to see him in the game. He’s a great player. When it comes down to it though I never got all that excited about the All Star game.
Guys like Alonso and Ramirez stand to lose a ton of money in incentives if they were to get injured while not playing for their respective teams. I don't blame them at all for sitting out the All Star game.

On the subject of the Home Run Derby, one of the guys who was very successful, winning consecutive contests, has decided NOT to participate this year. Pete Alonso is leading the league in doubles this year and is one RBI off the lead in the majors. I suspect that he has decided to avoid changing his batting habits in order to maintain his focus on what’s working for him in games that matter.Pete Alonso is from Tampa.
He played at Jesuit and Plant in high school. Then he played at UF.
A great player and.....I don't see any Florida Man stories about him!!!

Midway sent me the same notification a few hours ago only it was for Clays.
I had a clicked on "Notify Me" for Clays about 3 or 4 years ago. I suspect this is just Midway's way of clearing all of the "Notify Me" requests out of their system.

Midway just sent me the same notice about Clays.
I had put a "Notify me" for Clays about 3 years ago on Midway. I guess this is their way of clearing their notices out.

I love baseball, I mostly watch my home team, but I do occasionally watch some good matchups. The All Star game was never a big deal to me especially since it doesn’t determine home field advantage for the WS. It did for a few years but they dropped it.
I'm with ya Rye, the All-Star game doesn't interest me at all.
Nor does the so-called Homerun Derby.
The All-Star isn't good matchups IMO. Just a bunch of mismatched players playing a pickup game for a s**tload of money and more importantly, publicity for MLB.

Wow, I'm stunned.

Since the world is spinning faster, is it still okay for you shoot from west to east, using downloaded CAS ammo, without shooting yourself?

Dogs ain't happy today....its cold for an Aussie Winter day on the coast at 12°c and feels like 6°c
(there's a ghost in my house!!!!!)
That's about 54 F.
We'd kill for that right now in Florida! We won't see 54 F until at least December, maybe the end of November if we're lucky.
Like I tell all the Floridians that are bundled up and grumbling about the cold (40's F) in January "Enjoy it now, come July/August you'll wish it were January again!"

While I don't think it's the government's place to regulate the number of hours spent with your dog, I do believe that everyone benefits from spending time with their dog. Maybe they could spend some time with their children too.
Probably figures it's more beneficial to spend time with an animal that listens to everything you say, obeys commands and doesn't pee on the floor or toilet seat.

Glad you had the situational awareness to be cautious, it saved you from serious injury or death.
To be bluntly honest, the cops won't do anything without property damage or injury...even if it was on camera. My understanding is that they have to actually witness the infraction. They can, and will in the event of serious injury, issue a subpoena of the video for use as evidence in court if the offending driver was charged.
In reality, the video is most useful to prove accident fault to the insurance companies and to (try to) get fair compensation for damage or injuries incurred.

While I have no hands-on experience with Ginex primers, I have seen several threads on the Wire, and other sites, with legitimate concerns. There is a thread on the Wire right now about it.
The concerns are that they are hard to seat while reloading, hard to ignite and failure to ignite/incomplete ignition.
Personally, I'll stick to Federal, Winchester and CCI (in that order of preference) if at all possible.

Now we're getting back to where prices should be! Too bad that I don't need them though.

I'm in an unincorporated part of the county which requires a private (not city or county) garbage contractor pickup the trash. There is at least 7 to 10 private trash contractors in the county and I use a relatively small contractor that is local. When I say local, the owner literally lives 3 blocks away from me.
Anyway, he sends out a letter at the beginning of the year with the holidays that garbage will not be picked up and list the alternate days (if any) that they will pickup. We put that letter on the side of the fridge. This year since the 4th was on Friday, our normal day, they picked up on Saturday. We put the can out on Friday evening.

Where else can you get 11 shirts for this price?
Free bump!
