Got up this morning at 5:03 --

Poured the coffee, did a little Bible study with Sue, built out a Quick 220 for a client --

Then put together the 308 for Mike --

Lastly, assembled an old Mitchell 304 from the 50's out of parts in the bin -- for another friend.

Done for now -- heading into town in a while to see a movie -- Dr. Strange, with some friends.

Then we will have fish tacos at Wahoo's before heading back home later this evening.

Best,

Ron,
That 499 looks really sweet. I finally got my hands on a pristine 488. It is Giant. That is a 704z next to it.
Life is Good!

Fred, those are super cool. I love new reels but I can admire old reels all the more. Looks beautiful.
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

Not trying to hijack, I will do a build thread eventually. But that is a nice 488. According to this link:

I think mine is a bit newer than yours.
