Hey guys, been a while....

[LgMouthGambler]

Been real busy the past 4 years. Left the automotive industry to venture into the home HVAC industry. Things didn't pan out the way it was supposed to, and as a business man, I didn't see it going as planned. So I'm back in the automotive industry running another shop, and was given an offer that I couldn't refuse. Was living in Davie for a while with my ex, but she decided she wanted to be a drunk lover that couldn't hold a job, so I had to leave. I still go down there to hang out with my old neighbors, and will spend the whole weekend down there with them sometimes. Hook up with George and go fishing when we can. Letting go of some reels and rods too, as I don't need that much stuff anymore. Still got my reel bench, tools, and parts for repairing reels, but don't really do that much either. I do miss all yall, and life has kept me at bay. But I'm back in Coral Springs helping out my parents with the house, seeing as how I will be taking that over. They wanted to sell it and get a condo, and give me money for a house, but that seemed silly since I can keep a better eye and care for them if they just stay here. I am in the process of getting rid of my truck ad I sold the boat, and it's not very practical for me now. Let's see.....what else? . I'm gonna try and poke in more often if I can. And dang it I want to get to Bama again for a crazy time now that I shouldn't have much of an issue affording to do so now. Anywho, see yall around

Welcome back, my friend. It's been a while. How is your son doing? How old is he now?

Welcome back, glad to see you staying in touch.  Looking forward to another trip in the glades soon.  Some catching and some good music to keep relaxing.  See you soon brother!

Wow! Time flies.

Great to see you stop by. Sounds crazy in your world... they tell me that keeps us young but it seems to keep me wore out LOL

HVAC can be a great business if there aren't too many folks in it already for your area. I know up here it takes two days to get someone to look at a broke system durning the heat or cold, stuff never breaks when it's mild....

Wrench turning isn't bad money, especially if your running the show again

Welcome back. We missed having you around. Life gets crazy some time.

Did we really "miss" him though??   

[Smallie_Stalker]

Glad to see you stop by Matt, life has it's way of keeping us busy.

I've seen some of your Facebook posts and loved that one of Cambridge playing the 2 guitars. Can't believe he's that grown already.

Yeah, we did a little rocking and rolling the other day \m/

[LgMouthGambler]

Holy moly I forgot how much stuff I had accumulated in reel parts over the years. I have a whole tin of Shimano parts new and used. 50E gear sets galore. I found 7.7 Brenius, 7.0 Core, and a bunch of 6.4 50E gear sets. Carbon tex drags, and enough parts to build 3 Curado 50Es . 2 Citica200I reels broken down for parts for my 14Scorpion200I reel, and 2 JM Signature reels broke down for parts for my JM Sig reel I use. Spare screws, clips, washers, etc. Lord have mercy, the obsession was real....
