Actually I picked it up Saturday...Ralf (AKA "Shoe"

was nice enough to rendezvous with me on his way up north...real nice guy. Threw in a pair of Orvis waders and got the whole shabang for a little under 3 bills...(if you're readin' this Ralf, the waders fit my 16 year old perfectly! (: also thanks to ...was it John? (eeotch is his username I think...) for the very cool streamer with the rattling head. that's gotta catch one of them solver torpedoes this november. I always like meeting people on fishing websites in person, especially the nice ones, heh...
Got the thing home and put it all together and pumped it up and it's a beauty,!! Took me about 15 minutes total. Can't wait to get her out on the river and try her out. Thanks for all you guys help and information! Gotz to turtn that Orvis label inside though...and get me a real toon sticker!! PK will email you my addy.
You guys are too funny with the 70's t.v. trivia. Wonder whatever happened to Gabe Kaplan?
