couple days ago my dog (who has the speed and reflexes of superman, compared to me) swallowed a springed treble hook loaded with stinkbait at about midnight. was about to head to vet but figured they'd say to see if it passed. i did not have 3,000 to spend on surgery, but knew i would if it...

i have this 3gal tank, and when i first got it i would leave the vent closed, and the next morning i would find the sides sucked in about as far as they could go. i was worried about the tank getting deformed over time from this happening so i started leaving the vent cracked open a bit. it has...

went to some yard sales on friday and found some really cool things, antique cooler for .75, nice wildlife pictures for the walls, but the best thing was a box full of new plastics, tubes, jigs, worms, crawfish, curlytail, paddle tail, split tails, tons of different colors, jig heads in...

ok, i'm not ready to get rid of my boat yet, but plan on getting a 16footer in a year or two. more room would be nice, but that's probably the case no matter how big a boat one has. my question is what kind of money can someone get for a boat that has been fixed up. i know it depends on where...
