Coolest Weekend this year

[Super Ron]

My girlfriends grandson (8) stayed the weekend with us.  He doesn't have a male figure in his life  as he lives with his mother and 2 sisters, so tag I'm it.   Well yesterday we spent the day prepping, painting, and clearing his first bait.    I am out of any new blanks so I picked up a 110 jerk that has been painted and scrubbed off  probably 4-5 times.  I explained how the airbrush worked, basically telling him press down, pull back and sweep.   He picked his colors, and painted every step by himself, even did the etex by himself.  We only had time to get one coat on and dried before he had to go home today but he did good.

When it was all said and done, he looks at me and says, "I know it will take a lot of practice to get as good as you, and this  terrible.  But so awesome  ."    It looked like a tie dyed mess that Cheech and Chong would stare at for hours.  I loved it.

 

Just a cool weekend.

To bad there's not more people that would take the time to share and work with kids as you did.

In our area they have a hooked on fishing program. In the past there are times when 1/2 the parents have never been fishing much more made their own baits.

That is one lure I wish you had taken a picture of and posted on this site.  Better yet, with the kid and you and the lure.  Some rules are meant to be broken, and this is one of those times.

This is a 5 Star act.
