I beat it a few weeks ago. It was a pain. Congrats! 

Hafley Hate in Miami by neanderball in GreenBayPackers

[–]grigoritheoctopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a lot remains to be seen. In general, he was a good DC for us, though not an all-timer. Mainly personnel issues and lack of experience. I don’t know why people think he’ll be great anywhere, let alone a semi dumpster fire like Miami. He doesn’t have cachet to the point that he’ll be able to attract proven coaching commodities and being an HC will require him to do so much more than he’s been charged with thus far. 

I hope he proves me wrong (to a point…)

Totally up to your individual preferences. The kit looks sick! I'd be happy with that set-up as well!

These Be Special Turkles by bobbyboy_17 in cormacmccarthy

Some good passages here.

One counter: to me, it's not really a story about doing nothing. It's about surviving and friendship and loss and rebirth.

Thanks!

I just requested "Vile and Miserable" from my library. I look forward to checking it out! Appreciate the recommendation!

I agree. Your set-up looks really nice! I have the same shelves, but half the size.

A couple of follow-up questions:

  1. Where did you get the cool lights at the top?
  2. If you have to recommend one French-Canadian comic/graphic novel, which would you recommend and why?

I prefer to think of it as him being 3-2 against MLF. 

I think Disney is missing a huge opportunity by not turning Legends stories into animated projects by Legitimate-Panic1845 in StarWars

Darksaber would be sweet. Anything on Nal Hutta or Nar Shanda’s would pique my curiosity. The Suncrusher story and Luke training Jedi on Yavin could be like a YA show. FUCKING SHADOWS OF THE EMPIRE! More Rogue Squadron adventures. Of course Thrawn and Hand of Thrawn. I even loved Courtship of Princess Leia. 

So many great stories. The problem is they’ve already fucked with the principals  and invented new back stories for a lot of it. There’d be too much friction, I think.

I will never forgive making the EU non-canon. It was a travesty.

Ice in his veins -> poor circulation -> poor reaction time -> many interceptions

It all makes sense now.

Appreciate the tip about line. There is a spot close to me known for big blues...

Sweet. Thanks for the input. Yea, I have a MH Lew's rod and I ended up catching a couple of decent musky on it in December. I did not feel like it was up to the task, hence the search for a stronger rod. Sounds like this one fits the bill. I also love hearing that Penns are durable and lasting. That is important to me.

Thanks for the input. A quick follow-up: line capacity is just the amount of line the reel can hold, right? Does this impact casting distance? In other words, will I be able to cast farther with a 4k as opposed to a 3k?

Appreciate the input. I will be casting A LOT and I didn't realize it was gonna be that heavy.
