[Maverick2272]

How much are you paying?

I need a good square durable one for in front of my door (inside). I have to get you exact measurements and you give me a quote? I think about 3 feet long and 2 feet wide.
I looked in the stores and they are either cheapo stuff that falls apart quick or very very expensive stuff that never matches our colors.

[High Cheese]

Right now my main thing is motocross racing. I intend to seriously compete this coming year and move up a class in 2010.

Other interests are woodworking, working with metal, I used to draw pictures alot. Below is the picture that you only see the bottom of in my food pics. I did it in colored pencil. I guess you could say I like working on my house, but sometimes it just feels like work. I love gardening and growing my own veggies in the spring and summer.

A small oval one I made a couple of years ago I made with scrap cotton [all of my rugs are cotton cause I am allergic to wool] was about 2 by 3. I worked on it for a month, and I sold it for $50. If I had to buy fabric, it would be more. I don't make much per hour on my rugs do I?

CIGARS - that got my attention. I, ummm, "brought back" a box of Puros every week I flew Europe for 11 years. I had about 3000 of the suckers in storage at one point but am down to a couple of hundred. My avatar is Carlos Fuente, Jr. and I at a black tie party in Brussels, Dec. 1st, 2002. :alc:

I'm surprised you don't garden in south Florida it has the perfect climate for many different kinds of herbs and vegetables. I grew stuff in Florida I wished I could grow here in Kentucky year around.

[jim_slagle]

Outdoors, right now, FISHING!

I don't think so!

20 degrees F, winds 20-25 with gusts to 40.

I'm staying inside today! :eek:

Shoot, we should have moved this to the gardening catagory.
Maybe someone can do that for us? Move these tomato posts.
I didn't mean to highjack.

Thanks Jim.

[AllenOK]

I'm not fishing right now, either. I prefer to target catfish. The best bait for that, especially right now, is cut shad. Good luck catching shad from the bank when the water's this cold. You really need a boat to get where the shad are.

Monday/Tuesday I might plunk down the money for an eighth of rosy red minnows, and give the local crappie dock a try.

I've been meaning to run over to Keystone dam and try fishing for some stripers. That'll put a bend in your rod!

I'm going crazy with cabin fever. I live vicariously through other people who post their fishing adventures on the internet.
