Last week, I was at a Stereo Audio Shop getting an upgrade to the sound system in my truck.

This was on the wall.

Likely appropriate for many of our expert reelsmiths on site.

The first rule of fishing is to fish where the fish are. The second rule of fishing is to never forget the first rule.

Fred - not only appropriate to reel work. I was recently reminded when quized 'how do you know that', I replied '50 odd years of learning'. Knowledge is one aspect, the ability to usefully employ that knowledge is a different kettle of fish :)

That works in my business also.  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

I tell my kids that there are those with 5 years of experience and those with one year of experience 5 times over.  I have 40 years of experience.  I don't how many it will take to replace me but we're getting close to finding out!

Well, I've gained so much experience over the years that I've forgotten a lot what I used to know. I think I should be compensated for that, too.  ;) It ain't easy having "some-timers", you know!   ;D
Love those open face spinning reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco Cardinals)

Yeah, me too.  I have to forget some more stuff in order to make room for anything new in there.

That's the 'Penguins on the rock' memory analogy. Your memories are like penguins on a crowded rock and every time a new one jumps onto the rock an old one has to go back into the sea.

Yep, I came to the conclusion awhile back that my working memory has been overloaded and therefor has affected the encoding of my long-term memory.  ;D

I have forgotten more than you will ever know. ;)
That is what I tell the new supervisors. Deep down, they know it is true. ;D
