I guess my tying table/station cost more than $25 when it was first bought. I have converted a vanity that belonged to my wife when she was a teenager. It has multiple drawers and places to put stuff. The best part about using that is the lid opens up to more storage, but the lid has a mirror mo

Since we can post photos here now, anybody want to do a 'Post My Mess' photo thread. I've found that if I do the 'rich text' and 'insert picture' command, the photo shows up in a box I can downsize by dragging a corner. Rene used to have to post to his site, but now we can save him the trouble.

The June weather is warm with a reasonable chance of afternoon showers. Fishing is generally good. Ft Myers is close to many saltwater fishing locations; Boca Grande, Charlotte Harbor, Pine Island Sound, Englewood and the Gasparilla Islands. Tarpon, Snook, Trout etc. Regards, Les Bell

"Had all the pens that go trout fishing devoted themselves to jotting down notes about why the big fish did not gobble the grasshopper, we would have lost many a page of sunshine, fresh air, and good fellowship, and instead, reaped a crop of fireside disko troops who thought like fish." Willia
