What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
If you're in the sharing mood Vetteguy (if you'd told me your name, I've forgotten it), I like coffee and donuts. Oh, my name is Keith.
Youre not far from me and always welcome to coffee and donuts
If you ever fly in to Milwaukee Mitchell field, Im at the airport and will be even easier for you to get stuff to eat on me.

Good to see you Tony 🙂
 
I just finished lunch as well. I forgot to pack a lunch, so Arby's it was. Double Beef n Cheddar with curly fries. Going to be putting the Government acquired toilet paper to the test here in ... oh... probably T-30... I work for the Dept of Veteran Affairs, so our toilet paper is a little... uhmm... rough. It's 'John Wayne' TP! 🤣
Don't take crap off anybody!

Bows done, one more section to go. Won't happen this week though. So unless there's an OK weather day next week, I might be done till spring. If I can get the stern fiberglassed, I can flip this over, let it cure, and do some sanding till spring. Or if we have that "summer" in the middle of winter I might be able to fillet the bottom. now to keep the garage at 70 degrees for a couple days.

But your friends call you Rock!
Rock Bear GIF
Alright, so let's observe this video. Bear has good form, good use of hands, and good foot control. He is able to move his hips with his legs, which means he's got the basics down. Only issue I'm seeing is some hesitation on some of the holds and a lack of chalk. Bear needs to commit more to the moves and chalk up. 7.5/10 climb
 
is it chilly there too?
Heating the garage with 2 space heaters to see how warm I can get it in 2 hours. if I can get it up to 70, I can try and do my last day of boat work. 2 sections I want to have done before the season ends.

Yes same temp here, Paul, rainy too.
 
Reminds me of the alladin brand lunchbox/thermos combos from the 70's and 80's!
I had emergency 51 until 3rd grade.
Don't know what happened to it after that...
There's a great song by John Mayer about going through those lunchbox times but I think I'm the only John Mayer fan on the Smorgasbord so I won't post it.
Thank you for the memories Bailey, those were my very simple times in my life...
 
@vetteguy53081 is it normal for my hawkfish too still not be eating? It's not very active yet either.. been in the tank for 3 days.
No Camden.
There's no stopping these fish from eating.
They're very aggressive carnivores.
