Taco

I found an old King Eddie hippie hangin' around "The Shack"

Happy Birthday Lornce

At your age wouldn't that you a dirty old man? I suppose it would be OK if you could keep it confined to an inner leer..

Cripes another one I'll never catch up to. The upside to 65? The government buys you a set of cheap ill fittin' dentures every 5 yrs. The downside?? The hot chicks look at you with pity and hold the doors for you.. Happy Burfday Lornce

Christ I can't even win a donut @ rollup the rim

I've always thought they should equip the Canadian Army with Fords... that way you'll know they will be good'n pissed off when they finally do make it to the fight. Ford does have some thoughtful options though, they came out with heated tailgates for their pickups so your hands won't get cold pushin' them into the shop.

I'd think you'd easily get your build costs and add-ons out of it Mike. I don't know exactly what I want but I'll be in market for something like that in 3-4 yrs.

That'll work just fine, thank you!

Yeah its a bitch bein' on the receivin' end of a screwin' over for a change. A little retribution, no ?

Gettin' stupid or it's as cheap as it's ever gonna be.....either/or And it was Red Truck/Leland who messed up. Their website clearly states USPS but they stuck it on a UPS truck for "expediency".

Last and final update! UPS, in it's infinite brown wisdom and +/- 35 days, decided to classify the shipment as abandoned in spite of having no record of ever trying to contact either the receiver or shipper. I'll give Brown one thing, their tracking system is very good because it was me keepin' an eye on that summbitch and contacting the shipper that we averted a disappeared rod. All is good.. I got a complete refund and I found and bought a mint still with hang tags Sage SP 690-2. In case anyone notices.... I'm not a "latest and greatest" guy anymore. They quit buildin' SPs in '02 PS, the brokerage bill for $85.26 got here today too... efficient buggers.

I don't don't mang... thats a 12wt

I don't know Dick they were breakin' 12wts. I believe I'll reserve that rod for 30lb pike.

Or is that why we never see anything from humblefisherman anymore??

Corn flakes get pissed in again Jay? Myself i want the spud cannon at the end.

Well I guess Brown charges storage fees on top of it's usual brokerage fees as the rod been sittin' in Calgary for 13 days. Phoned customer service and was advised of another minimum 3 day wait and a total shipping/brokerage/GST bill north of 100 bucks on a $199 USD clearance item. Let them know that I would be refusing delivery when it does show up and contacted the seller. Full refund comin' when it shows at their warehouse. Also shows I shouldn't impulse buy, was advised if I had contacted the sellers they would have shipped USPS. Friggin' Brown!!!!

Wise choice

Nope still sittin' in Calgary, drawin' out the suspense I guess.

Merry Christmas Everyone

Yeah I know but given my druthers I'd rather pay the thirty bucks than spend 2 hr bombin' around Kalgree between Customs and the UPS warehouse. I tend to get somewhat irritated with traffic about 5 minutes past the Macleod Deerfoot split. I'd rather drop an anvil on my foot.

Loop rod update; Ordered the rod outta Cali which they shipped UPS, which I didn't realize until it was too late and am now awaiting the standard UPS brokerage surprise, 5 days to Calgary and it's now been sitting in Calgary for 6 days with a departure scan ready to be delivered to Claresholm. Brown must be busy.

Schlumberger? Rickr's from Texas and knows what cows look like and he ain't that young anymore....

Know your prices and learn all about cross border UPS. Merry Christmas Mike
