New purchases

[InteraX]

Could someone purchase a new certificate for the site? 😁

I would think that would count as fishing related.

Well, past few days has been abit hectic....

Managed to setup my new rods...just need to christen now.

Yesterday I've ended up with a Trakker Tempest 200 ( Skull Cap on order also)

Past few times out been myself, mate n dog, so be big enough.

BUT today ive found out, the freezer at my nans packed in Saturday with 40kg of my Bait in 😭😭😭, some how the dog has also managed to open and this has resulted in rats having a feast 😭😭😭 managed to save 2 bags (10kg).

And a new head shaver I am now super bald 😂

Good on AD bought there own brand top end net at the start of last year one of the metal collars on the arm snapped when packing away Saturday, my fault I was floor wrestling with it. Took it back with my best kid who dropped their ice cream face on and got a new net like for like.... just about there was a bit of huffing and puffing.

My little sis sent me an AD voucher for me 65th birthday, so a new Korum Opportunist mat bag was my latest... Christened it too

Just before Covid lockdowns in 2020, my barber retired from his shop. I had used him for hair cuts for over 25years, and with lockdowns I wasn't comfortable finding a new Barnet trimmer, so bought myself a set of trimmers. I can do my own grade 3 all over. 

 

Once it's shorter not so much grey shows up, but when it's long...

As much as the grade 1 would be easier, I look like a thug

You could work doors with that look, too nice for that though,  I really dislike doormen, Doorwedge & Coathanger security lol.

[Carpbell3]

Got the look, could have the build but nah not my type of thing really, I have thought about going to St John's occasionally as a volunteer but never quite found the time.

Doorman, and that is exactly why I don't go to less than a number 3, because I used to work the doors earning extra money Friday and Saturday nights when I went back to college as a mature student,  Thuggish was not a good look!

Cripes, thinking back while I was at college, part time in the tackle shop Thursday and Friday afternoons and all day Saturday, running a social club bar Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday Friday and Saturday evenings, and then onto the doorwork. 

In all that I was getting on with my partner, and playing rugby for college and American football for Ipswich Cardinals.

Sorry, totally off track, newest purchase was another 6 gas canisters at bargain price, more PVA bags from Dave Goring at Alacarp.co.uk, and some more RH KMG, Infusion and Monster Crab boilies, and not forgetting the naughty Naturalz...

Trakker Tempest 200 Skull Cap....

They say you can leave it on while taking bivvy down.....NO CHANCE it has an elasticated rim from the 2 side poles all way round.

Went fully up within 10mins.....think a Basic 100 Brolly is next for the Day sessions 😁😁
