I saw a film last night of a guy catching an 8’ plus catfish that weighed 230 pounds. When I lived in IL, the harbor master at our sailing club fished for catfish at the dam. He caught stuff that was too big to bring on the boat so he just drug them behind his boat, and then pull them up on the shore to clean. He caught 5 footers pretty regularly.

See, now, I always thought swimming was stupid and running was boring.

Thank you for the gracious offer. I have an appointment on Monday with the pain management Doc and want to hear what he has to say. When you say records do you mean my CD with the MRI images on it?

That’s why I don’t swim where I can’t see my toes.
We have alligator gar with mouths of ver sharp teeth.

When we were in the VI last month, 4 of us embarked on a swim of about 300 yards from the boat to a snorkeling spot. I was a bit nervous, but it wasn’t too bad. Easy to float in salt water. Belly fat helps also.
I’ve never been a good swimmer.
I also don’t swim in lakes. I have to be able to see my toes.

There used to be a lake here which had a roped off area for swimming. There was a carp or catfish which was nibbling people's toes. This gave rise to rumors of a sea monster or some such nonsense.

I forgot about gar - we've got them in MN, but not that big, we've got the long- and shortnose variety. Never caught any of those other than in the Mississippi, which I wasn't swimmin' in, anyway.

Mask, snorkel and salt water makes it doable. I was just pushing my way thru the water. Wasn’t using any type of stroke.

Here's the full video. Fractal vises are essentially small, free-pivoting jaws nestled in to increasingly larger versions of themselves, so that they can conform and clamp any shape -

I got picked as a potential juror for a trial where a florist delivery guy was being sued for spray painting a dog in the face after the dog chased him from the house and up in to his delivery van. The judge was quizzing us and I raised my hand when the question was asked if anyone thought they couldn't be impartial. My reply was that as a bike rider, I have no qualms about macing a dog that is trying to bite me. Dismissed!

My jury duty experience recently was an hour and a half spent in a really large room full of tables, each with one chair. As soon as I sat down, one of the clerks came in and said there was a delay in the trial. At least an hour passed, and two clerks came in, a man and a woman - masked, of course. The man said, "Mmmmmmfflemmmfflemmmmmfffffle" for about 30 seconds, while we all shouted, "WHAT?", till the woman finally said, "YOU'RE ALL EXCUSED!"

Even my blue tape gets black. I clean it with Formula 409 and a stiff brush but I worry about the cleaner soaking through to the bar. I also tried Armor All upholstery cleaner, not as effective. Tape is getting pretty worn out so I could switch to black, then I could let it get real nasty.

This is going to be a very long flight.
Saw a ritchey case when I was doing the walk around. Somebody is going riding when they get to PHX.
