Ausfish goes to Disneyland

[Owen]

Apparently this bloke is a rod builder.

I do know that he's civic minded. We did our best to keep the share prices of Budweiser high.

We thought his wardrobe needed updating

Owen, that fella looks suspiciously like a very well known ( legendary ) rod builder ??????

I hope we catch up soon Owen ( and Sandy ) and you guys ended up with some good contacts from the land of " excess '. ( we'll explain why soon )

Also hope your software went well ?

And, by the way, are you still on American time... I see your posting up at the wee hours of the morning

The RBW is on today and yes, I know it is 4.30am. Don't know whether I am exicted about that or the Broncos floggin the Cowboys last night or the bloody rain drops pounding inside the downpipe outside my window....

drop...... drop....... drop....... drop........

I did note the shirt that strange fellow was wearing too

Cheers Phill

The last pic says it all

I'm not sure what those things are with the fisheys on. Reel seats?

Hang on a minute Owen=rod builder, software= weaves. Samples of weaves!

Am i right? Do i win anything? A custom rod perhaps.

Hope you have a good time.

Nothing wrong with the attire mate.

I think the hat says it all and Doc would have to agree with me. I was a little surprised that when I dared him to get the picture on his face he came back with a dragon, I wanted a wet fish running over his head and down his face.

The Shirts where a hit with Doc as well as Vicki, Rocky, Timm and Colleen and Mark from Acid rod.
Phil thanks for arranging that at such short notice and your supplier she is a real gem.

Dave,
You are correct, they are weave samples done by Doc Ski.
The pictures can't do them justice.
I must have gone back and looked at that cabinet a dozen times.

[dogsbody]

A lot of hours work gone into them thats for sure.
Would have been great looking at the detail in person.

Sandy i was just checking out the acid rod site. As I've just got a yearning to build another rod. It's been at least 12 years since the last one. I like those black frame holographic Zirconia guides. I reckon they'll look great on the emerald green Matrix blank I've ordered.

[Bearclaw]

Dave to answer your question, no not reel seats but sections of blank off cuts he gets from Hastings and Calstar.

Love the photos, I must say I was extremely delighted to get an email from Doc with one of those pics included...you can guess which one!!!

Glad you had such a great time, well how could you miss out in a place like that!!!! Also glad to see you flying the Ausfish flag guys.

cheers roz.
