What would you have picked?

JB · 08-21-09, 01:48 PM

yesterday I celebrated my 30th year as a steel worker, 25 years of that being a crane operator. So, the company I work for www.hennypenny.com
gives us a day at the ball park, fifty bucks and meal, plaque and paid vacation day, plus a catalog that you can pick anything out and they deliver it to your door.
At first I see a surround sound just like my son in law hase, thought about getting a better one than we have, then glance at a twenty inch tv, a camcorder, a Shimano chronarch reel and rod, and on n on. I wanted some jewelry to tell ya the truth, I collect black onyx rings and they had one.
I went online and started pricing what they had to offer and found that the simmons recliner they offered retailed at 459.00, I bout crapped!
I have never bought any furniture new, but took the plunge and got one.
I've got enough baitcasters and even tho a new one would have been sweet, I figured I 'd get something I dont have instead of upgrading our sound system and other stuff.
Does anyone have the cronarch reel and did i mess up LOL?

No Rolex?

The reel would have been nice. As long as you are happy with your choice.

Jim80 · 08-21-09, 01:57 PM

I would have went with the recliner to man , I got rid of the one we had a while back and have missed it ever since .

I guess it all comes down to the most important issue:

Will that recliner fit on the bow deck of a bass boat?

i got rid of mine when i got married....it was blue leather laz-boy with cat claw all over the back.....i wish i could get it back and some duct-tape,then i would be solid!!!

i think if i had that oppurtunity...i would have picked something other than fishing gear...is that blasphemy?,lol.......

i think you made a great call,because now when you get skunked...at least you have something at home to curl up and cry on

30 yrs...wow.

JB · 08-21-09, 02:29 PM

i'm skeered I'll pass out to quick if I recline all the way back lol. and 3d, i got a watch for 20 years service, it probably only equaled one spring inside a rolex LOL....I plan to get out with 40 years of service, theres to many young females to look at to get out early LOL

nofearengineer · 08-21-09, 03:06 PM

Man...I feel the same way, JB. Unfortunately, our latest intern just left for school...I swear she was the hottest woman ever to walk the planet.

man i dont wanna hear that braggin

....we intentionally hire ugly women.
i made a joke about three years ago after we had to fire the hot receptionist for screwing up..

i said ''hire the fat, ugly ones''...''they'll work harder because they have no friends to myspace ,and keeps the guys staying focus on the job''

ever since then..its been bad.....and thats no joke

nofearengineer · 08-21-09, 03:29 PM

I have read and re-read our associate's handbook, but I just can't seem to find the "must be a volcanically-hot chick to work here" clause. I keep going back to it, because I KNOW it must be in there.

Wishing2BFishing · 08-21-09, 03:39 PM

I absolutely love the Chronarch Mgs. They are my favorite baitcasters. I have 13 of them and still want more. Unfortunately, they were discontinued so your lucky that you are able to get one.

If you decide that you don't like it, let me know.

You made the right call man. A reel is a reel, a recliner is a mans throne.

Try a handle of whiskey and a 750ml of jager for to even venture that way . We do no ugly here as I would pass out before she was acceptable .

So with the reel, you coulda caught fish.
With the chair, you can post about, and read about, catching fish, whilst shopping to feed the bait monkey.
Mallen says nice call JB
