What he said!!!!!!!



Minn's How-To's and video are some of the best resources available on the net for learning to cover. I know he's helped more people than any of us can count!!!!!

I give you fair warning though, Mike makes it all look sooo very easy!! Kinda like all the commercials you see on TV. Everything works fantastically well on TV, but then when you get it home?? It's not quite so easy looking anymore! [:@]

Rumor has it that Minn actually grew a third arm just for covering.

I don't NEED a third arm - if you catch my drift

And by the way, we're all out of the Ginsu Steak Knives, but the first 100 callers will receive a Bamboo Steamer, a Pocket Fisherman, and a ThighMaster

I loved the pocket fisherman!!!!! Back when I was in the Army I had one that I took to the field with me. Here on Ft. Sill there are tons of ponds everywhere. Whenever I was close to a pond I'd take out the pocket fisherman and go fishing when I had a little down time. Trust me, fresh fried fish beats the heck out of Army T-rations any day of the week!!!!!
