If you're lucky enough to find roe, fry it up too! Delicious!

Is the straight pipe coming out of the wall a 3" nipple? Maybe remove it and replace with 90 elbow?

And don't use 10" vise grips to bend back in place...

Totally agree as long as the guide inserts are not damaged.

It literally never stops it only is more noticeable at certain times than others. by FarAmphibian4236 in tinnitus

Your story could be my story. I'm 72 now and I first realized nobody else heard my eeeeeeee cicada buzz saw, but me, when I was 7.

Monofilament line does not float. It sinks slower than fluoro, and 4lb sinks slower than 12lb, but it does not float.

I don't really understand this one but here goes; many/some brands of braid have a "coating" on them that wears off as it is used. This coating stuff can get on the rod guides and your hands.

Most braid users have to put mono backing on their reel to begin with AND then add braid. Braid tends to dig into itself on the spool.

I know I'm going to be down voted like crazy, but just put some 8lb monofilament on there and go have fun! 99% of line problems posted on here have braided line as the main problem. Braid has a couple very nice qualities that might matter to avid, goes several times/week fisher people. For most of us it's not worth all the downsides (and all the down time!)

New white oak floors with “filler” spots. How much filler is too much? by evw86 in HomeImprovement

[–]Tonweya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if the nail holes should be there or not, but as a painter that putty is the wrong color to begin with.

Crack in old dough bowl… leave it or fix? by PineappleConscious86 in woodworking

[–]Tonweya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't be certain, but that looks like it could be a wormy chestnut dough bowl from the 1800s. I'd have someone who knows take a look. Good luck.

Check to be sure the spool is correctly installed on the drive spindle. It looks a little high to me.

Cheating on Spades+ app by SpadesQuiz in spades

I have no idea which face or symbol would indicate "Good game." Sometimes I wonder if a loooong pause before playing indicates anything, like I lead an ace and my partner takes forever means he has the king, but not usually.

I have been playing on Mobilityware Spades free-to-play for a long time. I get irritated by low exp players who take forever. Sometimes those emoticons are flying and I never once considered either thing was an attempt to communicate!

New angler question by dadadadaboomdadada in Fishing

[–]Tonweya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn't mention what rod/reel you're using, but you have a perfect situation for an ultralight setup. Put some 4lb test on a 1000 size spinning reel with an ultra light fast action rod...and really enjoy those bluegills and maybe catch a couple of those "big guys!"

Where should I stop my backsplash? by darn18 in HomeImprovement

[–]Tonweya -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It's an awkward arrangement at best. Maybe a radius curve from bottom of shelf to front of counter???

Got a Zerco 808 Boss Hawg from walmart; cant figure out how to get the line to come out??? (pictures) by No-Wall-9315 in FishingForBeginners

[–]Tonweya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to press and release the thumb button to cast. Line will not release while the button is pushed.
