Wow Falconer, never realized we looked that much alike.

Thanks again for the great welcome!

I have been eying a couple of pipes, but it's hard on line. However I am thinking as long as I know the brand some it should be alright. One is a Peterson and the other a Savinelli Tundra Smooth and told the wife they look like a good Christmas present to me, LOL!

Thanks on the man cave complements. I had bypass surgery in 2000 and for some reason having to do with what I believe is being on that heart pump for a time, it has some things going on in your brain. I had been a successful stock trader for about 15 years and after that I didn't even want to for about a year and then when I did I still knew what to do, but wouldn't do it. So I quit and then since I am somewhat disabled I can fish all day and was not going to watch TV all day so started tying crappie jigs. People started asking if I would sell some so I did. Here I am 4 1/2 years later so busy tying I can't keep up and I hardly ever take any money out and all goes into materials. So after all this time I have a really nice supply of materials for tying and buy most wholesale so sometimes will order things for others starting out tying and help them learn how to tie.

I am a mod on the jig tying board at crappie.com and we have something like 9600 members there so I have lots of things to do and most of the time too much, LOL!

I feel sure that I will enjoy this board a lot, have tried another one, but just too restrictive and don't like that much. I have been a mod on several boards for almost 15 years now and lots of that was a Cowboys board where lots of flame wars were going on. So understand how important it is to keep these boards clean. I do like the layout and feel of this board and so far the guys on here are just great!

Thanks all,
Skip

Hey Skip,

Welcome to Bob. Always nice to have a fellow East Texan on board. All of us grew up in Buna and I lived in Kirbyville a good while until I moved back to Central Texas. My Aunt taught English in Hemphill High School and my Uncle was the Methodist minister there for years and years.

Very cool, My dad was born and raised in Buna, I was born and raised in Orange and now live 10 Miles South of Hemphill, LOL!

Maybe we can get after some crappie sometime,

Skip
