Do you live in this area?

No, I live in the Indianapolis area but I have spent a lot of time in
Michigan fishing and have got to know some people. Glenn is my book pimp,
and he once located a couple of long discontinued and relatively rare
fishing rods for me. If he gives you your own coffee cup, that means he
likes you, or at least your spending habits.

Translation: Mr. Knight and his Amex card have never passed a tackle
seller that they didn't like...IOW, if the term "Gear Whore" were
literal, Wayne's ankles would be genetically joined to his ears.

We tend to tolerate the folks who come up from Indianapolis pretty well.

Thanks for the refferal. I'm on my way.

Don't imagine I'll be getting one of those any time soon ...

His recent story of fishing the Manistee not withstanding, apparently.

his Amex card

No Amex card, why should one pay to use a credit card?

Fair enough. I stand partially corrected: Mr. Knight and his wallet
have never passed a tackle dealer they didn't like.

FWIW, you don't _have_ to pay for an Amex card. Every year I get the
"annual fee" on the bill and I call to cancel. The fee is waived. From
what I've found nowadays, there are fewer and fewer places that are
Amex-only (in the US), so the first time they refuse to waive, I'll
wave...buh-bye.

PS - thought about you just this past weekend - we laid just out from
the junction of the Pascagoula and Mary Walker Bayou and grilled some
fresh snapper, chaurice, and asparagus, with crab fingers as an
appetizer...Gulf Coast heaven...and we anchored just far enough out to
strike a balance between calm water and no marsh gnats.

Made the trek to Greak Lakes Fly Fishing yesterday. Nice store! Their
prices were in line with everyone elses. Great folks. Loaded my reel for
me, threw in the backing, helped pick out a few wet and dry flies. I
signed up for a four-hour, on the river lesson next Wednesday.

I mentioned your name to Glenn, and he started ranting "THAT SLACKER OWES
ME MONEY!" He jacked my price up 10%, and threw a coffee cup at me as I
was running out the door. It shattered against the door frame, sending
shards across the parking lot. Is that how you got *your* cup?

I got rid of mine years ago when they refused to waive the fee one year.

Sounds really good, save me some if I get down that way this summer.

Hell, he never asked me to pay for it.

As I said their waiving vs. my waving...and actually, they are
becoming not worth the call to have them waive...

A meal or three, a place on a boat, and a (stationary) coffee cup
await...
