    Thumbs up Ok, so I'm a thief!

    I use a Danvise & am very happy with it, but I'm also human when a fair to middlin' opportunity arises.

    On a local Ohio board I post on occasionally, a guy had up for sale an "as new" Renzetti Cam Action Traveler vise with material clip, pedestal base, Renzetti foam tool caddy, and he threw in a bobbin. This vise was used for 20-25 flies & is literally new. He wanted some hunting stuff & decided to sell the vise, which he wasn't using. I paid a whopping 75 bucks for the whole shebang & picked the vise et al up tonight. Another new toy!

    Mikey,
    That's like putting your conscience in neutral and opportunity in drive? Actually it's just being at the right place at the right time. Nice deal. Good luck with it.

    Mike,

    I hope you wore a mask when you stole that vise. That's a heck of a good deal. Congrats on obtaining another new toy.

    Now........................just WAIT A DADBURNMINUTE, here, Mikey-Poo! When you and I spoke on the land line, yesterday, (I STILL have a migraine but it was worth it I GUESS?), you asked MY advice on; "If that would be a good deal or not" and "If I told you IT WAS, truthfully, and you bought it.............. you'd send it out my way, for me to "break in for you"!! BUT... you FORGOT, somehow, to ask for my address!??!
    And, NOW, you say you picked it up tonight??'
    Hmmmmmmm..........

    Paul,
    I was so concerned about it getting damaged in transit, that I just figured I shouldn't insult you that way, so I'll just keep that ol' thing. I DO have some dryer lint dubbing I'll send you though! I even have some with paper fragments for that "spikey" look...I get that after my daughter does her laundry. It's a wonderful creation that is a result of her not emptying her pockets.
    BTW, it was good talkin' to ya....the world will never be the same!

    Well, DOUG as well as, TERROR TUBER........................ it's sure nice to know that the old saw of "WHO NEEDS ENEMIES, WHEN YOU HAVE FRIENDS, LIKE I HAVE", still holds true! And just knowing that The NBOF is alive and well, is so HEART WARMING!
    Dougy-Wuggy, if you're not very careful....... I just might post pictures of my "sewer leech", which is truthfully tied with the filtering material used in sewer plant filtering systems. However, since it's been an extremely deadly fly, over on Rocky Ford for big trout, I kind of hate to make it public!?!

    Paul, Paul, Paul,
    First, it's spelled "Duggie" and drop the "Wuggy". Second, You said "I kind of hate to make it public!?!" If you want to get "Banned", be my Guest!
