[cool]Funny how those things work. I get to thinking I'm missing something when I'm already having a blast doing what I'm doing at the moment. Is it greed, envy, competitive nature, or just old fashioned jr. high school grade peer pressure? With fishing I've always applied myself fully to the pursuit of knowledge and that elusive "expertise." When something new comes out, and others are raving about it, if I have the money available, and it sounds reasonable, I begin to feel like I gotta have it - within reason, of course. It feels kinda good, doesn't it SM89, to come around to "I don't need it or even want it"? If I'm a reasonable guy and I reason that I don't need it, then I don't need it, right? No more toon envy. Done.
[cool]I'd see a psychiatrist about all this except that the advice on this forum is free. A visit to a shrink would cost more for one session than my float tube did. Two visits would be a cheap toon. Three would be... Yikes! Methinks I'm better off with the disease. Besides, I'd probably get a shrink that didn't like fishing and he'd tell me to give it up.
But again, maybe if I didn't already have a boat I might not be singing this tune (toon?).
How does one get into this desperate condition called fishing? I should blame it on my grandpa maybe?
