Ronnie Dunn of Brooks and Dunn.

A local girl won a contest to have Ronnie Dunn play for her Birthday Party.

This was at Porkies Roadhouse in Punta Gorda Florida, about 300 guests.

Actually I have to admit I didn't take the picture, saved it for reference to convert my plane old PVC rod holder. I did have a Penn for many years but it was the cheaper model and finally gave up the ghost.

I think this picture meets the spirit of the thread...meaning you were there (raised your son). Please tell him I said "Thanks for serving his Country". I thank You for sharing all of your pictures.

I was going to compliment The Champ for his pic,till I saw he was wearing,what appears to be- a Vikings shirt. Other than that-cool pic Champ!

Default My Penn 450 SS reel

The first thing I bought after boot camp in 1982 was a Penn reel on a Shakespeare Ugly Stick. A good friend just went through the reel fixing it, as it has been broken for a while. My friend even loaded the spool with new 12 lb monofilament line. The old pole it was on is out in the garage, but it is worn out and falling apart. I can't wait to put this reel on a new pole and catch some fish with it this year. I'll be posting the fish pictures in this thread.

This is actually a shot my wife took, a double exposure the 1st of a abandoned 50's Plymouth 4-door in winter, the 2nd is of her sunflowers taken with a snowflake mask. I think it looks like a flaming car at 1st glance.
