Brad,
10-6 ain't desperation, no matter what Ron thinks!
And I fully understand run to set up the pass. Except when the pass is working no matter what and the run isn't. In that case you are running for no reason whatsoever.
Even when the run isn't working it is still required to keep the D honest, last thing you would want is a big turn over D sitting on every pass, even if Manning is the QB.

oh well I was wrong before and I'm pretty sure I'll be wrong again...................Congrats to the Saints and their fans.

All my rods are 4 pcs, but I have yet to break them down that way unless I'm storing them in the rod case. Always break it down in half for transportation.

On a lighter note
A supporter of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) gets pied in downtown St. John’s today by Salty Dog, the Downhome mascot. The PETA member, Emily Lavender, 21, was in town to protest the seal hunt to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who is speaking at the Canadian Construction Association conference. — Photo by Keith Gosse/The Telegram

Every coach that plays Manning or any other elite QB wants to hit him on every drop and get him out of his game. He wants to batter and bruise him, hurry him up and make him fear that on every throw that he will be crushed. Not that he wants him injuried.

She's a moron who is completely clueless about her own portfolio.
Agreed.......................wouldn't know the diff between a salmon or a cod fish. Only got the portfolio due to her geographical location and/or gender.

I think the 17 points in the first half (2nd quarter) is very misleading, they stoned the Jets run 86 yrds for the whole game, thats their game and indy beat them at it. The 80 catch by Edwards is what makes that score stand out. With out the Jets running game, no lead was safe againt the Colts.
Manning will not have to adjust againt the Saints D, this was the Jets defence and he shredded them in the second half. If the Saints come at him like they did against Minny, Clarke and Collie will have monster games.
I think the only way the Saint win, is if the Colts hand them the game. Don't mean to rag on the Saints , and I'm not even a Colts fan, I just think they are the class of the NFL this year, with a huge gap between first and second.
But like they say Any Given Sunday.

If the Saints play like they did yesterday, Colts by 30+, that was a brutle game, by both teams.
Colts will wins, even if the Saints brings their best.

had a bad experience with these wipers when they get in the longer lengths. Got a mini van myself and with a 28" blade (figuring you'll need something this long) lifting became a problem at highway speed, also the spring action wasn't enough at the ends on the blade (wiper only cleaner in way of the wiper arn connection), also had the wipers its self become detached from the arm clip (a factor connection) when starting wipers when frozen.
Nothing good to say for a set of wipers that cost me over $60.
I find you need a heavy set of steel blades (winter or summer) when you get into the longer length on vans.

First attemp at a Rusty Rat for the Salmon/Steely swap.........................need some bigger hackle I think.

Nothing like icy cold water shooting into your waders. I got a small tear about size of a dime in my neo waders, any one got a quick fix for this.

My tying is all over the place, can never seem to tie more than 6 of anything with out taking a break or at the very least switching flies.
I would never tie if I had too.

There are extended body whip finishers, seem to be about twice the length of a reg sized one, althou I have never used one, also not sure if this will give you the length required for an 8/0....................might be worth a looksee at a local fly shop.
Check out No. 1, 3 & 5
