Attended Church early this morning online — installed a cooler in the upstairs reel room last week — so today is a day of relaxation and restoring a few clients reels.

I keep the "operating table" (bench) fairly well organized and accessible.

When the parts for a reel are being washed in the US cleaner — I generally try to keep a reel off to the side that will be built out to new with additional new parts from the bins.  These go into the rotation as reels "for sale" or trade.

Can generally get one of these done every couple of days — in the down time while other reels are being cleaned.

Here is a little DAM Quick 110N Microlite that was finished up this morning.  Stripped the black wrinkle paint — and added about 13 new parts plus a new spool and spool assembly.  Ready to fish when someone installs line on the spool.

Next up are a couple of Mitchell 308's belonging to a member — then a couple of DQ 265 Microlites for a member — and that should be it for the day.  Might build another "for sale" reel in between jobs today — we'll see how it goes.

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

The only other better day to spend a day is fishing.  Nice Fred.  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.

Nice way ta do Sunday. You godda be one of the West Coast "go-to guy's" for spinners.

I still get to do church via Zoom, with the Honolulu bros. and sisters. Today's my turn to lead the prophecy topic. Makes me nervous, but not so much so over the Zoom app., relative to in person. Their normal meeting place is the Univ. which is getting a make-over. Love to always have this option, cause it's way to expensive to fly over there.
Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!

I need to get back in the game, but I have way too many already. ;D
