Well, that doesn't seem very neighborly!! Kinda tarnished my image of Ol Tex there a little. However, I really like HRM magazine, it was sorta grass roots and for the everyday rod builder.

Yeah, that's how it was for me. Here's a guy who was an icon from our youth, the HR mag articles, the building features on the XR6, and on and on. The tone of HRMx was right up my alley. What got me was the breach of trust. If he'd been honest when soliciting the subscription extention and said something like "we're facing some real challenges, if you want to help us survive........" it would have been one thing. Lord knows I've whizzed away a lot more than the $25 or so buck I sent him on less worthy endeavors. It's just that he had to know he was on the down hill slope and didn't admit it. Oh well, life happens.

Uncle Robert, if I'm up front with you, would you send me $25?

PS, fly down and I will pick you up at the airport and we can go to Barrett Jackson next week for the day.....

That and a little extra is on the way.............just for you Mikey.

Thanks for the offer on B-J auction, but can't make it. I'll be in Pomona the following week though.
