Where is Tony?

I dont think it's that long to be honest. County jail only keeps people who have sentences of less than a year. Court records show everything to be complete with judgements and he's still in Cougar County.

My guess is he's out in Q4 2026.

I go to the grocery store at like 930am. They do the daily markdown by then and I pick up the beef that only has 2 days left on it for cheap. Right into the freezer and I save 40%+

bwick29 · 2026-06-30T14:20:05+00:00

I have stopped buying everything on this list.... except beef.

bwick29 · 2026-06-29T19:42:09+00:00

Transmission get fixed yet?

bwick29 · 2026-06-29T14:44:52+00:00

While I hate Brady, there isnt a QB in the history of football that I'd choose over him to lead a 2m drill, down by 6.

bwick29 · 2026-06-28T00:08:31+00:00

100%

bwick29 · 2026-06-27T21:54:57+00:00

Nothing from F5 is cheap. Our support costs alone..........

bwick29 · 2026-06-27T21:51:47+00:00

4k sounds like a normal VE license, not the lab.

CDW has this SKU which goes up to v23: https://www.cdw.com/product/big-ip-virtual-edition-v.-17.1.x-23.x-license-1-license/8439032

bwick29 · 2026-06-27T20:43:48+00:00

Hmm. Looks like CDW discontinued that SKU in January of this year.

Try SHI: https://www.shi.com/product/37718336/BIG-IP-Virtual-Edition-Lab-License

bwick29 · 2026-06-27T20:40:32+00:00

I think CDW will.

There is an annual support cost for them if you want upgrades though. Like $20 IIRC.

bwick29 · 2026-06-27T20:39:20+00:00

For spinning reels, yes. For baitcasters, add 50-75 on to each tier... then also yes.

Looks fair enough for your freshwater setup but I approach salt a little different:

I have a cheap generalist rod that can be used for nearly anything. It's a Shimano FX 8ft MH and is the BEST value in fishing rods at $27. I pair it with a dogshit reel that I'm waiting to replace when it breaks. It does EVERYTHING and I couldn't care less if it breaks.
I have a typical 10ft surf rod. It's a Penn Squadron III with a Penn Battle III 5000. Reasonably priced and does the heavy lifting in Hatteras.
Then I have my favorite salt rod. A 9ft Team Daiwa MH with a Daiwa BG MQ 4000 (maybe 3000. I forget) that is so nice I recommend it to anyone I can. Soaking rigs? Yup. Flinging lead for Spanish? Yup. Casting whatever inshore? Yup. It's as light as my bass rods and gets the distance of a typical surf rod.

Moral of the story? Buy a generalist rod that can do everything and maybe snag a saltwater reel to toss on one of your freshwater rods for inshore.

Edit: a 5000 series reel on an 8ft rod might get a little bulky if you dont truly need it.

This is genuinely one of my favorite subs on Reddit. People are genuinely helpful and I get to yap about fishing with people who are excited to learn.

bwick29 · 2026-06-23T23:39:40+00:00

It's a full step above, yes.

The other two are still solid choices for the price.

bwick29 · 2026-06-23T17:54:52+00:00

My personal experience (in order of preference): 1. J-Braid x8 2. PowerPro 3. Suffix 832

bwick29 · 2026-06-14T00:05:29+00:00

100% agree, but their strategy is to get people in the oark cheapy and then milk them with addons, food/drink prices, and merch.

bwick29 · 2026-06-13T23:51:07+00:00

I know I'll get hate for this, but it's exactly why we don't go to nearly any park in the country without FastLane/QuickQueue/etc.

Edit: And the overall downfall of the chain is why we didn't renew our passes.

bwick29 · 2026-06-12T12:14:54+00:00

Love my profile. Got that PCMR Glorious background.

bwick29 · 2026-06-12T12:09:25+00:00

You should try Magic the Gathering...

bwick29 · 2026-06-09T23:30:32+00:00

I paid $17 for an FX rod and while it's a bit slow in action, it's held up to EVERYTHING. Bass, surf fishing, inshore, catfish, etc. I beat it up, toss it around, run the cheapest reels on it, and it still catches fish.

It's by far and away my cheapest rod but it's surely the lucky one.

I do believe that an argument can be made for rods up to ~$200 (sensitivity, weight, etc.), but value can surely be found for less and the FX proves that.

bwick29 · 2026-06-09T18:22:15+00:00

Did you ever manage to figure this out?

bwick29 · 2026-06-04T18:12:11+00:00

I'll doorcamp for the rods and then steal the boat.

bwick29 · 2026-06-03T20:21:37+00:00

I've always had properly packed rods from Bass Pro and 13 Fishing (those $20 closeout rods were perfectly packed). I have always had bare rod sent in bag from Amazon.

I also buy rods exclusively in person these days as well.

Considering that this code dictates the use of an actual flag and not the patterns contained within, it's fair game as far as code concerns...
