Wow ! I got a body bag too !

Rubbery vinyl with a nylon weave backing, looks like it's treated to
resist odor absorbtion and for ease of cleaning. A cool head to toe
zipper and two handles on the side and one loop at each end. Funny
thing is, the card said,

"I hope I see you in it soon!

Tom in KY, still kicking, although I have been smelling anti freeze

Sorry Tom,

Actually I got a gift certificate for the 'bay. So I came up with an
old Stanley # 8. I love Santa Clause again.

Now I know a chainsaw ain't a proper woodworking tool, but I wanted one
anyway. I figure folks just have a right to expect a feller like me to
have a chainsaw, even if my fireplace has gas logs in it.
And I got a real proper leather shop apron with flaps over the pockets
to keep the sawdust out. I'm really gonna like it.
And a incra rule, cause my eyes ain't what they used to be. And
several other nice toys and not even one tie or shirt!

You should have a decent body bag and a good speed bag.

Both of these together will go for about a hundred and fifty bucks.

You should also have a set of free weights.

You don't need more than 250 pounds because you want to do reps, not
mass. These should cost no more that eighty bucks.

A half way decent bench is only about 150 bucks.

When you start out, it's OK if you can only press your weight - unless
you're a fat sloppy ******* - then, I'd back off to 150 and work your
way up.

Your road work will consist of two miles at a brisk pace, to start.

You'll then go to five, then seven, then ten.

Once you get to ten, you'll go for time.

You need to be able to do ten in less than an hour.

Then you need to do wind sprints.

Buy good Everlast gloves and put a quarter pound weight on each wrist.

Work on simple combinations at first - one low, one high.

When you are ready - throw two quick ones from the slow side and
finish with the deathblow from the smart hand.

Try as hard as you can not to have a smart hand - but everyone does.

When you work the speed bag - give it two shots from one hand and one
from the other - work on your speed - and then change it so that it is
backwards of what you did before - work on your speed.

When you work the body bag - this is the only time that you are
allowed to roundhouse. Two straight shots from the weak hand,
followed by a straight shot to the center - followed by a roundhouse
rib shot.

This is a difficult combination to learn but it is worthwhile.

If you are strong enough, the rib shot will win for you.

Not immediately, but down the road.

If you will ever be good, that rib shot will come from the strong side
- and it can be devastating.

Keep your hands in close to your face and your elbows close to your
side.

Do not get fooled by head fakes.

If your man goes low for the body, protect and defend, but look for
the high opportunity.

Watch out for headhunter dancers. They wear themselves out and you
can take them in a later round.

Fear body punchers, for their throws are short and efficient - and
they waste no ammo.

You need to keep your elbows down and wait for the opening up top.

Remember, regardless of what most boxing movies show, the game is all
about what happens with your elbows tucked and your punches short.

Most body punchers can take almost any head punch that you can throw.
But that is still the best way to stop them, unless they're pigheaded.

Sometimes a committed body puncher can be made to see reason by
ringing his freaking bell.

But, you often need to body punch a body puncher. He'll have a weak
side. Your corner will tell you, if you don't read it.

If you can soften up a side, like he will be trying like hell to do to
you, that is a good way in.

I'll tell you what - by this point you have to be three rounds in.
If you've made it this far - I don't have damned thing to tell you but
don't spit out your mouthpiece and keep breathing as deep as you can.

Besides keeping your elbows tucked and your chin.

Got a nice 9' St. Croix fly rod and a House of Hardy reel. This is one
slippery slope too - just like woodworking but I can tie the two together
easily. Making a reel winder (like the one from Orvis) and plan to make
several different size net frames to try some simple steam bending. Anyone

Yes I do.

And I envy you both your rod and reel.

I have a "White River" which I believe to be a Chinese knockoff off
an Orvis small reel.

It works well enough - it certainly works better than I do.

In the small streams of Pennsyltucky where I fish, it's the line, more
than the reel, or even the rod, that tells the tale.

I have a fat forward line from Orvis that shoots into pocket water
very well.

Got afast action eight footer that helps out also.

The fish are small but the fun is big.

Kentucky Lake is a respected fishery by most major bass tournament
sponsors and organizers. I live about an hour and a half from there
with a boat in tow. The smallmouth are biting on suspended jigs right
now. Dale Hollow to the south is also seeing the smallmouth bite. My
uncle is fishing a tournament tomorrow. Cumberland River is pretty
good, Green river Lake is great for muskie and walleye. Nolin River
Lake, good. Barren River Lake,, I've not had luck there. Winter pooling
/staging may be keeping that river from being a great producer. Yep,
BYOB if you want.

I'm only one hour from the Fort Campbell WMA, trout streams there.Lots
of small water-shed lakes and ponds too. But the closest water to my
place is Green River. Too much barge traffic (I believe)along with a
really dry summer has ruined the fishing for this year. There are a few
catfish pulled out of there that will make you think twice about
putting a bare foot in the water. 2 years ago there was a 97lb. cat
caught on a jug line. Last year we were night fishing and saw a jug
running about 20-30mph across the surface before being pulled under.
Several other guys saw it and that may become the new urban legend
here, The Jug Fishing Ghost?

Stop it, you're making me homesick. I remember fishing on Taylorsville
Lake with my Dad one morning about 20 years ago. It was about 30
minutes after daylight but a light fog was still on the water. We were
in a large, calm bay where we were catching bass on Pop Rs. On a hill
covered in broom sedge above us a beagle was running a rabbit.

Dad turned around from the front seat of the Bass Tracker, grinned and
said, "Don't you wonder what Jesus is doing with the boys he doesn't
love this morning?" Yeah, I know the theology maybe isn't correct, but
the sentiment was sure right on. Dad is 81 and still fishes
Taylorsville.

The bass are bigger here in Florida but I miss fishing with Dad.

Now a real wood-fishin-dorker would probably be telling us that a bamboo
(4/6 strip) rod is the only way to go and that the ugly sticks we're using
are scaring the trout away... Now that's something I would love to try and
make. You're right about the line Tom when it comes to small streams - the
rod 'n reel are just along for the ride. To that end, I picked up some
Cortland "Sylk" to use on my 4wt rod/reel. I've heard good things about that

coordinate. This does not insure "good" government; it simply insures that it
will work. But such governments are rare ‹ most people want to run things but
want no part of the blame. ‹ Robert A. Heinlein

I'm sorry my Son but you're to late in askin'
Mr. Peabody's Coal Train done hauled it away..."

(from a tune that I used to sing when I was a young man - now I am old
and tired - and must go to sleep - good night, my friend)



That'd be our friend John Prine:

Paradise


When I was a child my family would travel
Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born
And there's a backwards old town that's often remembered
So many times that my memories are worn.

Chorus:
And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

Well, sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River
To the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill
Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill.

Repeat Chorus:

Then the coal company came with the world's largest shovel
And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land
Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken
Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man.

Repeat Chorus:

When I die let my ashes float down the Green River
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester dam
I'll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waitin'
Just five miles away from wherever I am.

Repeat Chorus:

(Got some fine photographs of the Mallet Locomotives from those coal
trains... if those pictures don't want you to become an engineer.....)

Paradise is now the site of one of the biggest power generators
around. It's a big old coal burner too.

When going to EE school, we learned about Big Alice.
1350 MW on a single shaft. ( 1,800,000 HP!!!)(Thank God we got away from
that crazy way of thinking, you'd need THREE big generators to make up
for her dropping off line. Nobody wanted to pay for that kind of
potential sitting there idling.. waiting for Alice to poop her pants.)
Alice was a cute form of Allison Chalmers (IIRC). She belonged to the
TVA.
Would that be her?

I was blessed with a Milwaukee shop radio..and an MP3 player to feed it.
The external antenna pulls in NPR Detroit just fine. The spurious noise
rejection in FM isn't that great, but then again, I don't they worried
about that when they designed a radio that can survive to be kicked off
a fu*cking scaffold?

Grizzly Oscillating sander here. Nice machine!

Sad tale but true:
I got a notice from the IRS that I owed an additional $3553 on my 2004
taxes and my property tax bill for my house for $1860 on the thursday
before Christmas.

What ever happened to the days when a lump of coal in your stocking was
the worst you could expect?

Did I say Bah Humbug or Bah Government?
