Nice RG. Will have to try experimenting with foam this winter. Made a  move with the vice this week, in the spare room. Set it up on my wife's craft table. Started looking through her stuff, may have some ideas....SHHHH

You can get a lifetime supply of foam at Wally World in their craft department for about $6.

rg   just  a  suggestion  try  using  zap a  gap  sometime    instead  of  super   glue  see  how  you like  it

[rgfixit]

I have Zap a Gap Trap........hey that rhymes

I bought several 3 packs of original Super Glue .7 oz. bottles at Big Lots for $1.00 each. I like it for most work and it keeps a bit better that Zappa (not "Brown Shoes Don't Make It!" Frank).

Zap a Gap definitely has it's place.

Went over across the street yesterday to the pond and I brought my fly rod and my baitcaster.On one of KP's flies he gave me ,I caught 10 bluegills. On my baitcaster I caught  1 Largemouth bass on a tube jig!!!!!!!!!--KpJr.

He got himself a dandy of a steelhead last November Trap!! Noodle rod though on a egg fly. Looks as though we're going to let him bottom bounce one more season, then, we'll let 'Ol Trap show him the ropes with flyrod fishing next year.  Tightlines gents!!--KP   RG, make sure you use GOOD glue on those jigs for me buddy!!!!!

Those big Ol' screw on hold downs for the pump module can be a real pain to get on and off 1 fish without the correct tool. A real big pair of channel locks will work in a bind.

[rgfixit]

It's all about the tools FM. I remember (I already sound old) when you could do just about anything you needed to a vehicle with a set of open end wrenches and a socket set....maybe a screwdriver and hammer or two.

I also remember when fuel pumps were mounted on the engine and driven off the cam. One of my first jobs was in an auto parts warehouse. Late 60's. I loved that job....except for exhaust pipes and mufflers.

I can teach him the basics of life and fishing in general.... BUT, Sometimes I gotta let the 'Ol buzzards help out once in awhile. He's a great kid!!!! He really appreciates all the words of wisdom and the funny stuff you guys provide for him on here.... THANKS!!! Tightlines Gentlemen!! RG, Enjoy your Wednesday off and go catch some fish!!! --KP
