PVC Pipe

A couple of years ago I built a holder to store my fishing rods out of PVC pipe (see picture). It has worked out and has been useful. I also listed it on a web page that specializes in PVC pipe projects. You might want to check out www.PVCPLANS.com. They show a variety of projects -- lots of useful things you can build from PVC pipe. From time to time I receive a request from people who have seen my rod storage rack, and have asked for plans. Yesterday I received my 32nd request for plans. I am surprised at the number of people running across this who have written me for the plans. If you want the plans you can download them from my fishing page.

Note: You can make many useful things from PVC pipe. Other things I have made include a rack that holds the tarp that covers my pontoon boat and rod holders to put in your boat for trolling or still fishing.

Time for another puzzle
Do you know about
The Man in the Bar.

Here goes... A man walks into a bar and asks the barman for a glass of water. The barman pulls out a gun and points it at the man. The man says 'Thank you' and walks out.

Now you figure out why this happened. Note: While this puzzle is baffling, when you figure out or hear the solution, will find that the solution makes good sense. I'll give you the answer tomorrow.

Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth,

Joke of the Day
Deep in the Tennessee hills, a farmer's mule kicked his mother-in-law to death. An enormous crowd of men turned out for the funeral. The minister, examining the crowd outside the church, commented to a farmer friend, "This old lady must have been mighty popular. Just look how many people left their work to come to her funeral."

"They're not here for the funeral," snickered the friend. "They're here to buy the mule."
