Re: Claret & Prairie Chicken

Yeah, about that not logged in thing... I wrote a response to REE in another thread, hit the button, and it all magically disappeared. Shoulders suck, they really do. Two shoulder operations later, and I wish I'd just tried to live with the original mess. Never again. I tried to respond to your com...

Re: Claret & Prairie Chicken

Yes a shoulder injury can take you out of the game fast for sure. It can seem like a little thing, but it can also make it impossible at the same time. My doctor said I would have to have physical therapy, but no I did not get that. I worked it out over a period of time. Busy with grandbabies, famil...

Re: Claret & Prairie Chicken

Hank, it has been a while, but glad to hear from you! Life for me has been incredibly busy lately. But hope it winds down before too long, so I can get back to some relaxation and hobbies.

Re: Kimono/Pearsall coordinated numbers

I heard that Persall's was going to stop making the silk, which is a shame. I do have some still, and I am glad to know there are alternatives. Using a huge bobbin to tye small flies with though, does not sound good.

Re: leisenring lift

I agree, a video would be wonderful. I have never seen a good video on this. I would really like to see the correct way to go about it.
