Relocating is a GREAT way to grow your career. It ain't easy but if someone told another person life would be easy they lied like hell.
We have schlepped our kids all over the world and the US. At times they were 6000 or more miles from any family other than the 4 of us. It ain't easy but life ...

re: Fast food prices are legitimately insane and untenable; corporations panic
Posted by AwgustaDawg on 5/30/24 at 9:22 am
Just a hunch but I think COVID was fatal for restaurants in general and fast food particularly. Soaring prices, terrible quality and non-existent service. The only thing fast food ever had going for it was it as fast and cheap. It has not been either for a long time but it really went down hill i...

re: Non-fly fishing, best bait and tackle for trout
Posted by AwgustaDawg on 5/30/24 at 8:02 am
[quote]Another note about this term. I've never seen the language "fly fishing only" but it's usual worded as "single hook artificial". Although it is intended to mean fly fishing only, you could legally use a spinning reel with any single hook artificial lure. However, you will get many dirty looks...

Not a popular sentiment and will cause folks to question your ancestry but do not overlook the possibility of catching a BUNCH of trout, on your own, in the area, fishing inline spinners and small stick baits. Generally the further south you are and the closer to town the less restrictive the water...

July, August and September BIG gaudy hoppers with a dropper. Terrestrials will be thick and the fish will be looking for big grass hoppers. The bite is incredible and about as much fun as one can have with their britches on.

Bad story. It has to be ROUGH to capsize a pontoon boat. I have been on them at Santee Cooper in 3-4s confused and on top of one another and other than being wet as hell the threat of capsizing never seemed imminent. I have been on them in the Carribean in similar conditions and it was the same.....
