went to the local dirt track races last night, and the way the "local town clowns" are, I figure its safer to get a start today as opposed to last night....getting info for the local airshow that is in town for the weekend as something to do with the boys....If we go, I'll get some pics.... ;D

looks just like mine except they put the word pro on mine and charged me more... ::).. :laugh:..as for the blades... ask if it has the ripper blades..perhaps this auger is the older style with different blades....i have never brought blades for mine sooo i dont know the info...or maybe that 25 bucks vs 75 is where ya send ya blades in and ya get back used sharpened ones instead of brand new...jiffy must have a phone # where ya can talk to a real human to get to the bottom of this....i'd buy that jiffy in a heart beat.... :thumbsup: i'm gonna buy the ny fishing lis. and not the pa....i like the ny lakes for hard water better... ;) ;D as for deer hunting ..i gotta go its in me blood... ;) ;D

Gonna call pops to see if he's available to go out on the river for a boat ride to break in the big motor for the first time this year...

Holehawg..that little idea you have for out on the Big D..we can use my boat for that right? It's only a 14' aluminum..do we need bigger than that????? its got a gas motor and the trolling motor, anchor and the rest of it minus some cheapie rod holders...that might be the only thing needed to be upgraded...

As for the Erie Dearies, do you just slow troll them of slow retrieve on the reel???like I said, I never used them and can't find any info online about how... ??? :unsure:

cool...pops just called and was at the airshow today..being an old Navy guy, the Blue Angels made him happy ;D

We are going out tomorrow night after I get out of work to do some river running and fishing if the weather permits....hopefully the "wally hole" that was successful last year at this time will produce as many good ones as last year ???

We (TFB and I) got out tonite to watch the Space Station again, and on that page, they list the times that the Shuttle will be visible starting late in the coming weekend...Got a side job to do Saturday to make the money for either an auger or a Vex/Marcum and then out Sat nite to Belmont Lake for bass and walleyes...and maybe even a musky :o...you never know with that place :-\
