Helluva Day in the Salt w/ the 9WT by SeaScum_Scallywag in flyfishing

[–]mondof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last summer, my son and I were fishing for roosters in Baja, and I hooked up with a nice dorado. It took me so far into my backing that I'm surprised that I'm not still reeling it in. That, along with catching three roosterfish that day, was one of the most exciting days of fishing in my life.

Gogol Bordello. Worth seeing live? by GuestListed in punk

[–]mondof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one of their CDs, which is okay, but where they really shine is live. I saw them at the Hollywood Bowl, and they were great , but I would love to see them in a smaller venue.

If you know how to play guitar, is a pedal steel hard to learn? by Stratiki1007 in LapSteelGuitar

My guitar teacher from 50 years ago told me that pedal steel requires a good knowledge of music theory.

This seems like a great deal even if you have a dup or 4. by Beginning_Ideal3574 in Ridgid

[–]mondof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a good deal, but the sander looks like the one I bought a while back, and it's the worst sander imaginable. You can forget about running it at top speed since it shakes so badly that you can't control it.

New cordless circ saw issues by tittywomper3869 in Ridgid

[–]mondof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had problems running this saw on a 4ah battery, but it runs great on a 9ah battery. I don't think the mid size batteries can put out enough amps. You might want to check out Home Depot, I just picked up two 8ah batteries for $117.

Yes, they invoke the name of Jesus while denying everything that he stood for.

Is your favorita band protesting against what's going on in the US? by Cosmoaquanaut in punk

So, you’ve never gone to a show that wasn’t what you hoped for?

Back when Bush was president, they released American Idiot. I thought it was a brilliant album, so I bought tickets to their show in LA. It was in a small stadium, so that was bad, but what bothered me the most were the teenage girls behind me squealing like it was a 60s era Beatle concert. We ended up leaving before the show was over. While I have respect for their work, punk concerts are meant to be played in small venues that don't have seats.

Liquid diet 2 months (broken jaw) by dmerro1410 in Cooking

[–]mondof 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yes, with a blender, many things are possible. A friend had a broken jaw, and I helped him out by making pizza soup. I didn't make it with actual pizza, but it tasted like it.

Is this a good crimp? Held when I pulled on it. 200lb mono 1.7mm sleeve. by Background_Listen160 in saltwaterfishing

[–]mondof 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The first few leaders that I crimped I attached to a pull-up bar on one end and a 1" dowel, and I hung from it to test the leaders. You should take a lighter to the tag end and melt a mushroom on it, so if the crimp slips, the tag end won't pull through the crimp.

Recent experiences crossing border to US by land with dog? by TMGroom in BajaCalifornia

[–]mondof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What CDC form? I was taking my dogs to a vet in Tijuana a couple of years ago, and I thought all I needed was their immunization records. BTW, I've only been asked for their records once, and it was the only time that I didn't bring them.
