    Well, as long as it's thread day..

    My wife just informed me that I've been offshore 7 weekends in a row. Didn't seem like that much, but who's counting . She says she would greatly appreciate seeing my face this weekend, so I said "of course honey, anything for you" (she doesn't need to know about the 4-6 or that the oil needs changing)

    In the past few weeks, I've learned a few things that might be good to pass along:

    1. Dripless shaft seals are not foolproof and need to be properly installed to prevent catastrophic failure. Professional mechanics are not foolproof either, their work needs to be checked

    2. Woody wax is good for zippers

    3. Load your chumchucker gently, or you risk shearing the drive pin

    4. We are blessed with multiple inlets within range of our NE canyons, don't be afraid to switch ports on the way in for a shorter/better ride.

    5. Jumbos at Crab Alley in OC are now $80 a dozen

    6. Broccoli rabe doesn't belong in a breakfast sandwich

    7. Beanbags are the absolute best way to ride in rough conditions

    8. Braces are friggen expensive

    9. Check the amperage draw before putting to many loads on a DC circuit

    10. You cannot expect assistance from other vessels, even when they are requested to do so by the Coast Guard

    11. Drag settings on Internationals tend to tighten and must be checked every trip

    Opposite down here. Rain since I have been back til yesterday and have been in lure making and hunting mode. Still the learning curve hasn't been stagnant...

    1. Daytime tv sucks...

    2. My cat snores...

    3. After skirting lures its best to make sure fingers are free of super glue before taking a leak.

    4. Those little pieces that are left over after twisting wire will find the carpet then your bare feet.

    5. Lure resin is more effective than hot wax in removing body hair.

    6. Power tools and blood loss go hand in hand.

    7. Mosquitoes only bite eyelids when you are about to shoot.

    8. Snakes and gators are not our friends.

    9. "AWD" is not a "Get out of mud free" card.

    10. When taking the cap off a spring loaded bolt, its best to duck.

    I was expecting the delicacies to come pouring out of the Foolish Pleasure salon that morning, but when none did I was stuck with whatever was available
