well thanks again, guys.
Consider it my kind of fun.
I put in the time and effort for most of this in the previous decades.
Managed to turn my tackle interest into a way to make much of my vintage tackle pay for itself - have owned an embarrassing quantity of it, and turned much of that into other things.
Of course I have tackle I'll never pare, but mostly what I kept were all the photos - 98 GB and over 50,000 files (just checked).
Also a pretty good stack of catalogs from across the pond, all protected for long-time storage and occasional reference.
Times change, we change with them, our interests both broaden and focus.
Cameron once said that I nerd about everything, and that's pretty accurate - whatever I get into, pretty much treat it with a minimum thoroughness to satisfy me that I'll get what I want from it.
Also consider that engineer is a lifestyle as much as a profession (kind of in the same vein as attorneys see the world as an argument)
I thought Steve came up with Tuna Can Martins, but we were nerding over them together one day on Clark's board, before I invited him over here to nerd some more.
And John, my signature disappeared somewhere along the way - tried posting it, it's not there anymore, but found it elsewhere.
Regards to all, keep me on my toes...
