What Happened To Outdoor Emporium?

[Gonefishing]

I haven't been to Outdoor Emporium since they moved to the current location. I agree with what Nate said but many of the "memberships" he listed are free (QFC, Safeway, Petsmart, Fred Meyers). Personally I hate carrying all those stupid cards with me, and as usual I don't give over my real home address, phone, or email address (but that is another issue).

Since I don't work in downtown Seattle anymore spending $20.00 for a membership to a store I won't drive to would be stupid. And at almost $4.00 a gallon for gas it's gonna have to be one heck of a price break before I do.

I can't believe I just wrote that last sentence considering I'll drive to Edmonds, go fishing on a pier daily for hours on end, risk life and limb for a parking ticket and go home with nothing but a sunburn and/or a parking ticket (only happened once but come on the lot only had 4 cars in it and it freakin overcast the day the party pooper ruined my day) on most days. :D

It has been said, that we fisherman sometimes lack in common sense. I find myself doing the same thing, but it does beat sitting on the couch staring a the idiot tube. It's all about making memories and having a good time.

I agree... staying at home watching the idiot-tube gets me in trouble the idiot-fridge or the idiot-pantry. I guess its better to go the idiot-pier and deal with the idiot-ticket if it happens.... I feel like such a...

Talking about being an idiot... I'm heading over to Ted's Sports Center now (leaving my finally cleared up credit card at home like a smarty-pants) .... I'm blaming it on spring.
