Reel Repair by Alan Tani

Joe your yard is all planters do you even have any grass?

I've talked to the seller/maker. He's working on round 2 and we are discussing what other reels the handle can potentially be modified to fit. Happy ending.

Alan how much do you want for one?

I might need to drive down south and come check out what you have in stock!

Let's call this throw back Thursday.  Going through mom's picture books I found this picture of me from October 1972.  Making me eight years old.  The notes say it ws on the Umpqa River in Oregon, the rod was a Browning, 300 Mitchell with 6 lb test.  The lure if I remember correctly was a gold colored spoon, hammered on one side.  Sadly we were traveling by car and ended up donating the fish to a restaurant in exchange for a salmon steak dinner.  Bill

That's it! Artificial turf.

My motor dont give any trouble @ all, artificial turf, had it for 11years now, n its still looking good, cheers Don.

  OK I call you Old fashion or Stubborn , I am in the same boat .  I do have gas powered and 110 electric powered blowers , chain saws and hedge trimmers .    I will pick the 110  electric tools  first.    Cheaper to run  , always starts when you hit the trigger .

  I do not know what the cost analyst is to charge up batteries verse using 110 straight .
      Yes it is nice to pick up a battery tool for the quick work .

Yup. What to do though? I hate lawns to begin with. Yeah, they look nice and they're good to play on, but expensive to care for and time consuming and lawnmower/weedeater noise oriented. Gimme cement, bout 10' around my house and 10' wide driveway.

 Yep, Cortez Conversions has great blades at a fantastic price, and they are snug fit.

 A lot of custom reel parts are now made across the pond, and not worth a red cent

 When I had local machinist make my blades, he asked if I wanted to make the hole a hair larger to allow for anodizing. I said no. I use a rubber screwdriver handle and hafta smack it hard to get my blade on the sleeve.
