Haven't heard from Wayne in some time. Does anyone know if he's doing all right?

Wayne was in the process of downsizing a few weeks back and i suspect he's been too busy to join us. I owe him a call!

Mark, Wayne is alive a kicking. I spent a summer with some physical issues and the last couple months downsizing and buying and selling our homes. Way to much stuff for an old fart to handle.

I have my new room set up with most of my reels displayed but still trying to figure out what to do with some, especially some old saltwater reels mounted on rods.

I've actually started buying recently...some older Penn boxes and some Abu Ultra Mags.

I'll be back in the mix soon. Thanks for your concern!

This is the view from our new front porch:

Sure is, but about 3 miles as the sea gull flies to Sandbridge Beach. Our lake is enclosed freshwater and is about 100 acres. Great red fish (we cal them puppy drum here) in Rudee Inlet and the Lynnhaven River...10 minutes and 30 minutes away respectively. Great speckled trout as well.
