    These photos always make the Talking Heads version of Take Me to the River start playing in my head.

    I was under the impression a 3000 reel was going to be noticeably bigger. In Scheels the Shimano 2000 was almost the same size as the 3000 so I grabbed the 3k.
    At home the Shimano 3k isn't much bigger than my old Quantum 2k but probably half the weight. (more line is making it look bigger)

    I'm back in the game @LarryDangerfield.

    Scheels is cooler than it use to be.
    You can putt.

    That does sound interesting. Do the regular employees wear conductive shoes as well?

    I'm not sure.

    But, when we work in production areas, we have to wear special vests for static, as well.

    The production areas feel like you're in Willy Wonka's factory. There are all kinds of unusual machines that I can't even imagine what they do.

    I don't know where my wife has been parking her car on Fridays. (When she takes her mom around town)

    2x now I noticed someone had tried to peel her registration sticker off.

    Flunkin' people........

    You're talking about the area formerly known as Shawtown.
    Yeah, that's where I live.
    Not so rough now but initially/historically, it was. I think in the logging days it's where many of them stayed. Boozing, gambling, brothels, the good old days.
    When the men were men and the women were too.

    :D joking aside any city with a population higher than 20,000 is something I avoid when possible, can't stand cities.

    As a teen growing up, I couldn't wait to gtfo of that small town of Merrill.
    (10k pop. maybe?).

    Now that I'm older it's looking more and more appealing to go back. lol
