The Plinths

[Dominick]

Thanks for the photo Aiala.  Beautiful reel.  I also like your choice of books.  Have you gotten into Michael Connelly and the Harry Bosch series?  Amazon just got through making a series for streaming which starts Friday.  Dominick

Dom, I've read everything by Connelly, including Bosch and the Lincoln Lawyer books. Good stuff, if something less than serious lit. 

I've watched the Amazon pilot twice, already have the show programmed into my DVR. Not crazy about Titus Welliver as Harry, but will reserve judgement for now.

When I saw your selection, I knew you were up on my man Harry.  I am going to watch the pilot on Friday.  Any chance you are going to be in the bay area around March 15, 2015?   Dominick

Afraid not, Dom. Actually, I seldom leave the desert (LR fishing the notable exception.) I have a very elderly dad who's closing in on one hundred years old, so I don't really like to stray too far.

Meantime, I'll bet your pig feast is going to be something else! Are you really going to sleep next to Sal??

I don't collect reels and may never do so, but have to say that these plinth are very nice!

Are you really going to sleep next to Sal??   

~A~

I'll get even with Sal for that one.    Dominick

Plinth......Prior to reading this thread never before heard the word used  in my life..... My education continues.....

It is more of a European thing. Our Buddy, Jerseymic from across the pond used the term a year or so back and it spread. That reminds me. I need to get his plinths off to Cornwall!

Just one word buddy, WOW!!

I had better give the reels a special polish before they are mounted on those beauties.

Thank you again.

Mike.

Seems to me we have invented a new adjective - plinthy - which describes a reel so lovely it deserves a place on a plinth.

[Jerseymic]

Chris,

The reels may be lovely, but  Darons plinths are exceptional

That is some very nice work Buddy. If I ever get old enough to retire my 540 3.2 it would look cool sitting on one of those Plinths. I have a red 631 that would look good on one now and sitting on the stand under the TV.
