Now I am officially confused.

It seems the recent slip, well whatever I slipped on got stuck to my feet, had another two slips yesterday and a slip-up and that's what confuses me.
First the slipping'ssssss
When I die, will somebody please dress up as the Grim Reaper and attend, don't need to do or say anything, just stand there!

yip rod and reel..... the other was ordering yet another of these rods, and again some hardbaits that are more "Natural" in colour.

Now what confuses me is the slip-up, she found the receipt this morning as I was in the shower, I never ever EVER take these slips home, anyhow, all I got was "And what is this 3K @ Fishermans Pro Shop?" to which I replied, "Rod and reel" then she said, "don't you have enough? <:" and that's what confused me, I mean I have such a small "mancave thingy" that my rods are starting to stand out of the rod-holders that I made, so no I don't what I do have is a Too Small Mancave Thingy!!


See what I mean, and then the ordered rod still has to find a space :cnfzd

No not me but the debit card. That's what I normally do, I just don't know where I slipped-up and how the hell did she find it, not even crumpled up, the slip was in perfect mint condition, Eish, anyhow, now she won't be able to complain when I extend the mancavey or when I put the house in the market :hnthnt: :hnthnt:

Well Gents,

If i had to calculate my monthly or annual spend for all the lekker stuff in my garage and advertise how many good fish I actually caught with all that stuff, I may end up a tad embarrassed!!!

But it's all about the fun isn't it?   :nuts: :hnthnt: :rck"

We at least got 5th place in the May bassing comp = R1100 that had to be split, and that just about covers my fuel bill for the last seven days between the tackle shops😂 I mean therapists👍

With my recent purchase of the short bent butts for my 50 lb rigs, I decided to order a bent butt adapter for the black magic. Looked online and found it in Cape Town at a better price than in the US / NZ.

Ordered and payed... the day I email the proof of payment it was shipped... it has just been delivered to a friend in JHB. In a few days it will be here!

Also, I think I should mention the GREAT service I got from Big Catch Fishing Tackle Suppliers (http://www.bigcatch.co.za/). I got prompt replies to my emails and very efficient all around. I'll definitely use them again!
