Psssh... thats barely a smudge.

I met one of the new breed of fishing guides on the White River last month. The guy looked like he came directly from the Cabelas store, had three spools of leader hanging on his shiney jacket, flies here and there, hat clean and creased, and complete with manicured nails topped with clear polish. His boat was immaculate and a "no smoking please" sign adorned the seats. His ride was already parked somewhere so we didn't see it.

This post is not a knock against fly fishing or fly fisherman. My fishing buddy and I spend most of our free time in the summer backpack fishing South Carolina's 200 some odd miles of trout streams. (There are mountains and wild trout in SC). Our trucks are dirty, scratched, and full of red bull cans, spit cups, and gas station food wrappers, and often reek of fish. We use ultralight spinning tackle primarily (think drifting, not little spinners).
One weekend we decided to take another fellow along who is only acquainted with us because his girlfriend always brings him around to social gatherings and he talks up his fly-fishing skills.
We wore old sneakers and shorts, he wore fancy waders. He had the vest and the hat, we had backpacks full of snacks and drift fishing gear. We couldn't smoke or chew in his truck. We caught a limit in an hour (we throw 'em back most times, so we can keep fishing) he didn't catch squat. He hasn't asked to go with us again.

Sweet! I ran my jeeps passenger side into a tree and recently laid the front on the frame (doing aforementioned looking out of only one set of mirrors). Hopefully the fish take note.

That paint appears to be Silver Streak Mica. The high-tech poly material used in your bumper can be smoothed very easily with 400 grit wet. The whole job, including airbrush paint, can be professionaly done for about $150.

well maybye i should use my dads honda wwhen i am old enough a '89 with a huge dent in the drivers side door the back doors only compleatly shut when you hit them and the rear bumper is held up with rachet straps. and thats just the beggining

I used to splice telephone cables. They are full of a waterproofing substance called "icky pic". It's like a combination of vaseline and elmers glue. Almost impossible to wipe off. I found that the best way to deal with it is just go ahead and smear it all over your hands and forearms before you even start working. I treat my truck the same way. Don't even try to keep it clean, new looking or smelling good. Just dive right in to the fishing. It isn't going to be worth any less at trade-in time just because of the scratches, dents & that fishy smell.

My dad would vigilantly scrub down the truck every weekend so that he could drive it to work on Monday. By which I mean he'd drink a beer and tell me which part to scrub for a few hours every weekend..

This is funny because I had a guide for a hog hunting trip show up 4 hrs late in his what appeared to be new Mersaedes car wearing his midlife crisis Harley Davidson garb. To say the least that was the worst hunting experiece with a guide that I have ever experienced. This joker did not deliver. Thats a great point, when a person shows up in his work clothes then usally thats what he's there for. This joker showed up to collect the money, he could have cared less about putting us on the hogs. Beware of the well dressed and flashy.

I have a buddy bought a new Trailblazer when they first came out(few years back). He put a brush guard on the front and on his taillights has never taken the SUV to the lake or the woods.On the other hand when I worked at a
huge automotive repair shop,they had two S10 blazer for parts vehicles.I was in charge of keeping them clean,so I washed them clean the interior with armor all. One Monday after a holiday weekend I saw one of the Blazers covered with dried . You could only see the front windshield where the wipers had wiped the mud off. I opened the door and there was mud on the floorboard, dog hair,saliva on the p/s seat and dash. I ask the owner of the shop what happened to the blazer and he replied I went hunting.
