Reality Check

[OldTimer]

Hey,

Having "state of the art" toys, or gear, is a dream of everyone.

Who wouldnt want the absolute best, most expensive, jaw dropping, envy producing stuff available.

Me too.

But:
- my Ford pickup gets us there and back.
- my beat up guitar sounds great
-my Timex watch keeps perfect time
- my old fishing gear, old beat up lures, and mono line - do catch lottsa fish - big ones too..............

Ever notice that most world record fish were caught years ago on old gear.............yeah I know "there were more fish then" - but my point is- that gear did the job and accomplished something that no one else ever had, or has since.

Otherwise the record books would be filled with listings from just the last few years.

Like the title of this thread............... Reality Checks are worthwhile... before dropping a hockey sock of money on the latest overpriced widget.

.............this should stir up a few comments.............

Cheers,

OT
