My Celilo arrived two days ago, you are right about gear arrivals being their own special high. Also have 3 3500 trays coming in to manage my fanny pack fishing a little better. Just the idea of organizing tackle in new boxes can make me giddy for days. The joys of OCD, my mouth is literally watering right now just thinking about it. All my little trays are too small or popping open all the time...
Good news? ARod is making record time on his achilles rehab so you might see him play before the end of the season.
Other good news, YFT are still in town. 31 miles for me to The Slide, 25% chance I end up looking, pretty long ride though. Are you gonna take a look for them in the Curmudgeon? I've noticed you haven't gotten your boat wet this season as often as previous years.
Got rear ended the other week, not too bad but it was a work truck that pierced my rear bumper with a steel ring. Still waiting for the claim to settle but hopefully that turns into a check, which would more likely go to OTHER car problems. But I will be stoked to get some money.
