All Made Ready!

Well Ive finally done it- Ive scouted out a handful of fishing spots and have amassed enough panfish tackle that even a packrat like me can feel comfortable. I catch myself wringing my hands and cackling over the pile my goodies like some overgrown leprechaun. So the game is on.

I look around at all my junk... er, treasures... and it dawns on me that I need to dump a lot of this stuff. It started last year when we moved to this house and I had to actually TAKE all my crap with me. Years of collected model planes, metal detectors, tools, guitars and assorted baggage had piled up - most of which I don't use and couldn't use in a lifetime. Moving after 2o years is very cathartic...

So Iv'e been an "eager ebay beaver" in the last few months, auctioning and adding to the fishing fund. There is still a ton more to get rid of.

I'm thinking that at the current rates things are selling for, I'll have neough for a john boat, canoe or....??? - by summer.

In the meantime it's fishing as usual. If you ever get to Aiken County, SC look me up. We'll find somewhere to wet a line.

PS Anybody interested in a good used metal detector or guitar?? :-)

If there is anything I can do to help you, just let me know. My former hobby of metal detecting took me into a lot of places and I know a fair amount of the Aiken area history; I once discovered some unknown civil war grave sites, even.

Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on March 26, 2011 at 6:31pm: Aiken is beautiful country David, as I worked down there years ago. When the weather warms up a bit, might hit you up for a ride down the Edisto.

P.S. Don't need any more stuff either!!!

Lemme know when you come. I'll find us something to float in.

Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on March 26, 2011 at 6:30pm: Yes but did you pick up a cane pole yet?? Congrats on the work on eBay - nice work. You should put a link to your eBay shop if you wish... or not. ; )

I have two cane poles - a 10' and a 13'. Im planning a third, next: a 16 footer.

And I am just selling stuff on ebay - mostly model plane and train goods, RC items, guitars, metal detectors, etc. I don't have a shop.
