I have the rest of the tips lined up to complete Volume 7. I still need several hundred photos and a bunch of drawings.

Yesterday I tied the Snell Knot using solder.I photographed each step as I completed it. The results look darn near professional. A little more editing and it should meet Rhett's high standards.

My wife and granddaughter got on my case yesterday and told me I needed to eliminate a lot of my colloquialisms and give the tips a more professional tone. This means wading through more than 1200 pages but, in the process, I should gain clarity.

I've loaded my yak for a Tarpon fishing trip in the morning so this project will be on the back burner for sure. I may even fish a while this evening. The Tarpon are here in decent numbers so I gotta get on to them.

Naah, Sailfish, I tried it out of professional curiousity. "Inquiring minds" and all that stuff.
