I'm pulling a Ted Cruz in blame no I did not blame the boog

My mother in law and I sitting at the bar having coffee I’m on lap top looking at daiwa regal 1000 ultralight spinning reels. My wife walks in and says how many reels do you have with max effective range of full snark. And then my mother in law gave me a sarcastic look.

I replied quite few mid and ultralights reels. So I just blamed the looking at these reels on my mother in law as her and I sat at kitchen bar having coffee.

I frightened myself as I’m usually a stand up guy yet this was so easy blaming her. Boys got a charge out of it

As a person who is into science boog and man. I’m amazed that the technology is filtering down from the $150-$200 reels in which I’d never buy. To what we buy in the $50-$100 price were hard on gear and we use it heavily.

'How many of those things do you already have?" (12)
I say, they aren't "things", they're guitars, and they're all different with their own personality, just like.....

“How many bicycles do you need, anyway?”

The correct answer is always, “Just one more.” Rinse and repeat

I did a lot of small river and stream fishing when I was a kid. I'm going have to pick up the hobby again.
