I'm with ya on the tv thing. I pay for internet but won't pay for cable.

There's a cool GT course in Ohio. Lots of different racing, no NASCAR! Their main event is the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Challenge.

It's a pretty amazing weekend and not too pricey.

Good to see you back my friend.
Hope your vacation was fruitful - what's up next on the tournament circuit ?
what's up amigo? hope all is well with you and the family. there is a tournament this week but we skipped it this year. for some reason not many people are fishing it. usually it's the first week of december but this year they did it in the middle of the month. i think a lot of people couldn't take the time so close to christmas. there is another tournament next week we are gonna fish up in guatemala. then the signature series back here starts in january.

what have you been up to?

Looking great man! Can't wait to see the results. I am also with you in the dyna grow. Make me a believer in, "you get what you pay for." :) lol

Quick question for you, since you are a fisher and all, I really want to go tuna fishing next summer. When would be the best time and where would you recommend? I'm setting aside a few bucks, last time I went I was a teenager and had a blast, then it cost me $850 for a 2 day trip 100 miles off the shore. Thanks ahead if time and good luck with the grow :weed:

hey bud, hope all is well. i'm gonna journal the construction of this room as well as my current side-by-side on the dyna vs. advanced grow. i'll send you the links.

i don't wanna blow up your spot but i don't know where you live. you can go tuna fishing in the Pacific from southern california all the way down to chile. that's mostly yellowtail fishing. the north atlantic get's the slobs; bluefin and big eye tuna. they get to 2-3 times the size of a big yellowtail. heavily regulated out of a lot of states. down in the carolinas you can get both of them; mostly yellowtail though. send me a PM and i'll point you in the right direction. the seasons are different in every location as the fish are migratory. i fish all over and in a lot of billfish tournaments but i honestly LOVE tuna fishing.

just gimme an idea where you wanna go (if you wanna stay local) and i'll point you in the right direction.

come on down brotha, i'll take you out myself. we don't fish the caribbean though. it's the pacific side that has the sportfishing. they go for tarpon and snook on the other side of the country.

spent the day diggin a 75ft ditch and running 140ft of 2/0 Aluminum URD from the loadcenter for the back yard to the spot where the new growroom is gonna be. nothing like needing 150amps at 240v for your grow room. gettin pumped to start going vertical construction. got a 250amp panel that runs the entire backyard, lights, workshop, pressure pumps, hot water heater, ac, etc... waiting on a specialty 150amp sub breaker to hook into the panel cause i can't find one down here. gonna start pouring the pad after the holidays.
