And I left the taxman’s office with a smile on my face. What a difference a year makes. Rather than coughing up a 10th of my yearly income, I’m actually getting a refund!
Of course my “yearly income” took a good shot, when I retired, but hey, it feels pretty good right now. 
I am a: Glock Model 22 in 40 cal
What kind of handgun are YOU?
Actually, I prefer a .45.
Here’s a somewhat dark picture of my first order from JLV LURES.
The quality of these lures is excellent. The lures are shipped from Hilo Hawaii and have VMC hooks and stainless hardware. No glued lips! There’s a link above in this article, and a permanent link in the upper right hand corner of this screen. Check them out, you’ll be happy you did. The lures in the photo are, the JDM-11 Deep Minnow, JFM Frantic Minnow, JFS Fatty Shad, JLS Little Shad, and on the right, a JRM Raptor Minnow.
This, is an evening shot of the ice that’s keeping the Walleye boat off the river, and the Bay right now. , , but they say it’s going to warm up next week!
Found!, low cost crankbaits. Check out, JLV LURES ! This is a photo of a sample of the JLV Lures products, two dollars, fortynine cents! Note: Stainless hardware, and red VMC hooks! A Product report will be posted when my shipment arrives, and fishing reports will be posted when the ICE is out.
This is specifically aimed at those paying 40 dollars for 5 Hot-n-Tot’s, or 21 dollars for 5 USED Rock Crawlers.
Today, I made purchases at two local stores.
Store One: New in Box, 4 FireTiger Luhr Jensen Rock Walkers, 10 bucks
Store Two: New in Box, 6 Storm Hot-N-Tots, 2 Storm Thundersticks, and 2 Storm ThunderCranks, all, for a measley 12 bucks.
It appears that dealers in the Point Lookout area, don’t really care that Rapala bought Storm and Luhr Jensen. All they know is the lures are on closeout and the price is right.

We watched the DVD of “Beowulf” last night, the 2007 rendition directed by Robert Zemeckis.
I was a little shocked to learn that the entire movie was done in CG (computer graphics). After getting used to that fact, it was a thoroughly enjoying romp. Watching “the making of”, after the movie, I was stunned to see the actual actor who played Beowulf. (Yep, he looked about as much like the movie’s Beowulf, as did the actor who played Gollum in “Lord of the Rings”. Ray Winstone/Beowulf, was chosen for his voice and ability to project his character’s feelings into the on screen character. Ray is a rather ordinary looking man, slightly pudgy, with short grey hair!
The actors all had to play their parts, loaded down with computer sensors, then the computer’s painted in the charactors using the movement of the actual actors. All in all, it turned out pretty interesting. Those reviewer’s who said it reminded them of Shrek, come away as seeming very narrow minded, IMHO. And to those who complained that it ventured away from the original poem, IT’S A MOVIE, ENTERTAINMENT, ya know?
I have heard that it looks absolutely fabulous on IMAX and in 3D, but of course we missed out on that part of it by watching the DVD. I’d give it 3 to 4 stars. 3.5 for entertainment, 4 for effort.
