Slipped on the Grass
It was bound to happen. It must be age catching up to me.....but I wasn't watching where I was going and slipped on the grass, taking a hard fall and breaking my last oood sense. Now I'm sitting here looking at a new bamboo rod and thinking that after holding off for 53 years, I have gone and jumped down the proverbial rabbit hole. LOL

Glad you survived the fall. Of course, everyone knows that the real danger after the first time an elderly person falls is that they are now a higher risk for falling again in the future. You should take preventive measures.
Such as transferring your retirement fund into your wife's name. You can never be too careful.
Congratulations on the new rod.
And wherever the river goes, every living creature that swarms will live, and there will be very many fish. Ezekiel 47:9
Probably safer that you are damaged than the rod.
Heal fast.

been in your position many times. strange how we tend to sometimes place more emphasis on "things" than our personal health. glad for you that both elements survived the mishap
You didn't slip. With age comes wisdom, and you've seen the light.Originally Posted by NJTroutbum
Congratulations on the rod.

Nice rod. Way to go. I suspect it won't be the last blade of grass you slip on. I've fallen a few times and am getting up the courage( resources) to pick up a T & T Pradigm that I've fallen in love with.
Hope you enjoy the rod for many years.
Best,
Steve
it's all good drifts
Perhaps it's now time to always take your wading staff with you wherever you go!

Dave, that was my wife's suggestion as well. She said I needed a cane to make sure I don't slip again at my age. I agreed and said I knew right where to get one.....it's this guy that makes them custom, out of bamboo. In a wide range of lengths. LOL
Ralph, is that what y'all call "sugar cane" up in New Jersey?
Regards.
