MemberOne of the Clear Cure Goo products is a flexible product. I used some last night for the first time. It has a strong smell and like most and a tacky resiude from the free monomer/oligomer. A little acetone generally gets rid of that..
The tackiness is a ‘bonding agent’, or so they say. Its meant to help you build up bodies, bills, lips or such as the next layer will adhere to the previous. Ive seen some ‘flies’ that look just like Rapalas ‘tied’ with the stuff.
To remove the tackiness all you really need to do is put a little Purell (or similar) in your fingers and run it over the stuff and your as good as gold. Or you can just coat it with a thin layer of Sally Hansen and the tackiness will be gone, as well.
Like I said, its pretty good stuff.

MemberThis sort of thing is what you are talking about?

That Clear Cure Goo is def better than the other ones.

MemberGenerally speaking, tickets will decrease in price until they bottom out about 4 weeks before flight time. Then, between 14 and 20 days before flight time, they will begin to increase until ultimately they will be the most expensive on the day of travel. Contrary to popular belief, buying 4 months ahead of time is not going to get you the best deal; rather you’ll get the standard or average price for that flight.
This is not really accurate and assumes the expected number of tickets are sold by the airline.

MemberThe Kindle’s e-ink (or whatever they call it) is very, very good.

MemberTo be honest, not really. I have been fishing cork drags for several years in the winter with no problems. If you don’t dunk your reel you shouldn’t have to worry about that. Also this reel is going on my TCX 7126 for Skamania steelhead, so it will not be used much in the winter.
I was just curious.
Mike L.
MemberYou arent worried that cork drag is going to fail in freezing weather?
Mike L.
MemberWhy would you need to balance the reel?
Mike L.
MemberMaybe set it on fire?

MemberIt doesnt need to be labeled a spey reel to work as a spey reel.

MemberI don’t know why but a few of them lost their claws.
They do this when they are stressed.

MemberThey can survive a couple days out of the water. Keep them in a cool, dark, damp place overnight. A bushel basket with a wet burlap sack over it will keep them alive pretty well overnight as long as it is kept pretty cool (60-70 degrees or so). As long as their gills can stay wet they will survive but be sure they cant get into any standing water or they will all die.
Definitely do not cook and eat dead crabs
Edit:
Mike L.
MemberWell thats just mean.
Mike L.
MemberDid you at least put it back in the fish’s mouth before letting him swim off?

MemberYa, a quick search showed that a CLA 4 is recommended for 4 or 5 weight spey lines.
Mike L.
MemberA 7 weight ‘spey’ line is going to require a reel with much more capacity than a 7 weigh single handed line.

MemberMike –
Any idea why a beer as good as Yuengling is now cheaper than PBR at my local Kroger? Are Yuengling employees so pleased with the product that they volunteer their services or something?
BTW, *why* do I need to steam them separately? I’m just curious scientifically, though I always defer to expertise in cooking.

I have no idea why Yuengling is cheaper. It has always been, and still is, about $1 more per 12 pack than the big domestics in my area (Bud, Coors, and Miller). Of course the taste–which isnt reflected in the price– is much better than these beers. I dont know how much PBR costs as I drink Natty Boh to represent the home town (even though it is no longer brewed here and I am not actually from here) when I need a ‘cheap’ ($6.99 for 12…the price keeps increasing) beer.
As to your second question…I honestly dont know. They just taste ‘better’ when steamed. The meat is juicier and softer than when boiled. It is fine to add the already steamed meat to soups or stews in order to enhance the flavor (think MD crab soup), but cooking it in the soup or stew is just not good. There is honestly nothing like a well steamed crab (in Old Bay).

MemberYa, steam them separate.
