Running the sweeper.....

[DOUGSDEN]

Gentlemen,
Whilst running the sweeper today for my dear wife (I'm off all week and she has to work. Dang!), I noticed the long black electric cord always got caught under the corner of something. Furniture, end tables, etc. Almost unconsciously, I began flicking the cord sideways or throwing an exagerated loop at the point of pinching just like we have been instructed. Weird thing is it worked! I had to laugh out loud at this carry over from who knows how many seasons of flyfishing that is permanently locked away in this big round head of mine. Now, the tough part is convincing my beautiful wife that most flyfishing outings are quite useful especially in domestic situations such as this! A hard sell for sure!
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good afternoon,
Dougsden

Be careful, you might get that fast action 8 weight Hoover you never wanted for Christmas.

Yes, be very careful. She's likely to turn your words around and say that domestic chores would be quite useful practice for your flyfishing outings. I'm sure she wouldn't want your mending and roll casting skills to get rusty in the off season. You'll be on sweeper duty for the rest of your life!

Fellows,
I never thought of it that way! Thanks for the reminders. Who'da thought simple chores around the house would lead to such long term....chores around the house? A man has to have time to tie and fish!
Thanks again and all in fun of course,
Merry Christmas to all,
Dougsden

Be careful Doug, you may get real good a casting around the house. (joking)
