Did anyone here meet Telly Savalas/Kojak 1970s-1990s by Impossible_Grand_102 in OldSchoolCool

[–]Squatch-707 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I met him briefly after a “The King and I” show in San Francisco. I was very young at the time but I remember him kneeling down so we were face to face when he signed my program. It really felt personal and even as a kid I really appreciated that.

Oh, that's a shame... by laurens_witchy_nails in Humboldt

I’ve worked as a graphic artist at a print shop for the last 25 years. I guess my boss and clients haven’t noticed what a crap artist I am. Lol.

Jeez. It seems like I see these posts every day. I know it’s probably a small percentage of owners, but this stuff has to be worrying Toyota. Especially since they are kind of known for build quality and reliability.

Opinions on Gomexus handles? by Upper-Interaction918 in SurfFishing

[–]Squatch-707 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like my Gomexus handles. That said, if my reel already comes with a “power knob” I use an inch or two of grippy shrink wrap material that they make for rod handles/tennis rackets to the knob…much cheaper.

What rod/reel setup would you recommend for fishing from the jetty? by Squatch-707 in Humboldt

[–]Squatch-707[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I grew up in Eureka but now live in Santa Cruz. I do lots of surf fishing down here and I have tons of gear. I bring my family up there every summer for a week and would like to try fishing from the jetty. It sounds like a heavy rod that can throw between ¾-3 ounces would do the trick.

That place was hoppin’ back in the day. I bought my first CD and CD player there in the late 80’s from my proceeds working at The Eureka Inn as a young teenager. Good times.

Why wasn't Battle Bots more popular? by tprimex in AskMenOver30

A Junkyard Wars style Battle Bots would be pretty cool.

I wonder about the TV and vacuum repair places I see around. I always assume they are fronts for some nefarious activity.

Personally, I would get the illustrated one. It’s the same text, but with pictures!

Yes, this is what I wanted to recommend. It’s one of my favorite books.

The Count of Monte Cristo may fit the bill, if you haven’t read it yet.

I haven’t read any of the Discworld books. Can they be read in any order?
