I knew there was a reason we had the same birthday!

Lol, were those things convertible, or right side reel only?

Good luck fishing!

Have I mentioned it's good to have you back?

...I will.

Fly tying haute couture! The colors are fantastic and they accessorize brilliantly with the hook tones. It's almost like you channeled your inner Herb Tarlek, you know, where the belt has to match the shoes, only you did it way better.

It's a Parmachene Belle tied by RuPaul!

Absolutely gorgeous.
