No trip needed to the hardware store.
 

Tent stake rod holders.

Not as cute as those flip-up spring loaded holders
 

:cheers1:That supposedly set the hook when the trout take the cheese. But do I really need to add to my over load when I'm trying to simplify.

Yes....I was a Lego kid....
 

And not much has changed, why quite doing what you enjoy. What seems like small potatoes 🥔 to some gets me though another day. Build it use it enjoy it.

Only used bolts on one stem.
 

And duck tape on the other. Shurtape 622 duck tape
BTW you never want to mask a window and leave the tape on for a month or longer unless it's 622 you will be sorry especially in the back country where it gets hot
Good luck with the goo gone.

Failure unload

If first you don't
 

Succeed try again

I may not donate to your kids as much as I want......
 

But they will get it all in the end. ;)

I was color coordinated today....
 

At least I didn't get skunked chair fishing

I thought for a moment the pelican was chasing....
 

The trout my way but no bites.
I pulled the pin at 2pm.
It looks like sneaky Pete was going to free load on my trout as I had my back turn to load up.

Out of corn 🌽 meal
 

Even tho it was a panko crust skillet frying pan disaster
It still taste good. No muddy bottom taste
Can't wait to get more hope the bigger ones taste this good, case closed.

Hey Mitch, you're pretty handy making stuff. Nice job on the rod holders.:reel:

Thanks
 

As I think back I could have been a guy like Jessie James or the guy from occ making bikes. I had a company called Metal fab custom designs during the recession in 1982 there was no new construction going on in my trade I was in. Metal came easy for me I had a nature talent for it. I built a 400RD twin three wheeler that's what got me in Metal when construction stopped and I wasn't a journeyman in the trade I was doing. So no connection no work. I wish it would have been street bikes instead of a three wheeler with no suspension.
But I did have fun on the RD with paddle tires that lead me no where. I ended up doing ornamental iron, flat beds racks hitches mobile welding security gates but it was nickel and dime stuff. And the woman I was with left me
I closed it down when construction picked up, the 80s boom and got a full time job but the damage was done to our relationship plus I was still in love with the girl before her to escape the misery I went and bought a 250r pro link suspension three wheeler and hit the desert 🏜 scene my timing was totally off on how things should have went.i didn't have a good cash flow like Jessie James making harley finders. Since watching the two shows made me realize what I could have been.
