rode out to a little bookstore about 20 miles away. that's just the sci-fi and fantasy aisle. there was a cute little nerdy chubby tourist girl there looking for Harry Potter books, so i chatted her up. they have an espresso machine, so i bought her a coffee, but she's visiting with her boyfriend...and couldn't get away from him for more than 20 minutes...View attachment 4916423
this is along Pittman Center Rd. , where i still have a lot of family

Yeah, I had toddlers and we visited a friend. I had two poles and reels of my own I took for my kids and I borrowed my dad's nice Abu Garcia setup for myself. He loved that rig and never allowed me to touch it as a kid. But young family and broke so he allowed me to take it. One of my kids got a fish and I hurriedly set my dad's rod and reel down on the pier to go help them set and reel it. No sooner did I do that then I got a strike and I watched my dad's beloved rod and reel fall into the lake.

But for our friend stopping me I would have dove into the lake after it. I still regret the fact I didn't. I have my mom's brand new identical, unused set stored in my garage but it's not the same. My dad was so disappointed in me. To top it all off I was so distracted by that loss I lost the fucking fish and the toddler had a f'n fit. After that I restricted myself to chasing fireflies.

Watched a pole I had "borrowed" from my Father get pulled into a river one night fishing for Carp. Lady friend had stepped away from it to help me land a fish, forgot to have her loosen the drag, bounced 3 times hard and on the fourth it was gone! Daiwa Black Widow rod with a Shimano Sienna with the "new quickfire" casting system, was so bummed.. :wall:
