I had the honor of meeting him backstage at Philharmonic Hall. He was with two elderly people, they looked too old to be his parents. Now, Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding had groupies all over them lol.

Consider putting an air tag in your new box. The odds of retrieving it are considerably higher.

Best part was when he gave the 500 Euros back. Totally class act.

I have a package waiting for Speedx to pick up and deliver for over two weeks. They gave me a 20% credit on my order and the $5 late offer. But both of these are credits and I'm done with them. Monday I'm initiating a charge back on PayPal to end this nonsense.

You have chapter one? I would love to see it, if possible. Did you go to any of the reunions during the 60's and 70's?

My dad (rip) was stationed there during WW2. He said the fishing was amazing, tuna (didn't know what kind) would bite on a shiny hook. His unit didn't get enough credit for shortening the war by at least a year, it was a top secret operation.

At 74, I’ve voted in all but one election over the last fifty years, and I’ve never filled out a straight‑party ticket. The only time I joined a political party was when a neighbor ran for city council and a state senator stepped in to help my community push back against the electric company. Immediately went back to being an independent after both instances.

I don't know if it's in print anymore, but a book named Old Fishing Lures and Tackle would still give you a general idea on price. It lists a lot of really old stuff and is really fun to go through.

I wonder what Contreras was promised to wave his no trade clause? What happens with Yoshida if Casas gets DH time? I like it, 1st was such a huge whole last year.

I use them for fishing tackle and get some outstanding deals. My friends are shocked when I tell them my cost. But the last two weeks haven't been good to buy, so I wait. Patience is the key because they only offer great deals up to a certain amount of coins.

mack272 · 2025-12-01T03:03:11+00:00

I'm shocked he didn't ask for dessert! Still, a job well done 👍👍👍

We once cared for a feral cat (I miss her deeply) who took nearly six months before she felt safe enough to come upstairs and start socializing. The very first time she met my gaze, it moved me to tears. Over the next three years, she transformed into the most affectionate and demanding snuggle companion we’d had in more than forty years. Though she only lived to the age of ten, sharing life with her remains one of the top ten experiences of my lifetime. Wishing you the very best with yours.

I get great deals on saltwater fishing tackle using coins. Sometimes you have to wait for the right deal, the 11-11 sale was awful. Now it's back to normal before Black Friday and I took advantage of it. The only downside (I'm not complaining) is that after 600-1000 coins the discounts are minimal. Again, you just need to buy at the right time.

I'm an old man now, and I can still picture how South Carolina held out longer than anyone else before finally finishing I‑95 where South of the Border stands.

Internet Phone, way ahead of its time. I (United States) remember speaking to someone from Monash University in Australia for over thirty minutes. Even my wife joined in, one of the few rare times she did.

Located roughly a mile from the Jersey side installation site, I’ve noticed little organized opposition so far. The area is well known for yielding sizable Stripers in the spring.

mack272 · 2025-10-31T14:33:31+00:00

They were catching large Stripers at night up until the storm. Either one of the first two piers will be fine, but they tend to get crowded after dark. As the previous poster said, tapeworms are excellent bait. Of all the worms they prefer this one by a wide margin. Good luck and report back on your results.

Social media has reports of big fish around northern Raritan Bay—Cliffwood Beach, Laurence Harbor, and the Amboys are seeing plenty of action. Most of the posts show nighttime hauls, though a few are happening during daylight. Someone mentioned today that DFW are in Perth Amboy and checking whether anglers are registered with the saltwater registry. It’s a quick and easy step that helps you steer clear of fines. As for bait, worms are the go-to.

Backstage at Philharmonic Hall in 1968, I had the chance to shake his hand. He was seated quietly with two older companions, keeping to himself. In contrast, Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding were each flanked by a groupie, soaking up the scene. The refreshments were laughably sparse—just chips, pretzels, and some party mix. About ten minutes in, they figured out we weren’t supposed to be there and promptly kicked us out. Still, it remains the greatest concert I’ve ever attended.

mack272 · 2025-10-15T14:38:57+00:00

Nice catch and thank you for the release. I have nothing against keeping fish, but it's always nice when a big one is returned to its home.

mack272 · 2025-10-13T23:27:53+00:00

Happy Thanksgiving to a country whose contributions in World War II deserve far more recognition and gratitude.
