What pool players do when not playing pool

Working, mostly. Watching movies and TV shows. And all the while thinking about playing pool, like all you guys do I'm sure.
are those carp?
I shit you not, a buddy has a gallon pharmacy jug full of OE Rorer714's in his freezer. What he's wating on i'm not sure i wanna know.
I also build rods, great work on preserving the underwrap, trim tabs look great.Here is a rod repair that I did for a guy. The rod is a Calstar and their underwrap is a proprietary turquoise thread that isn't available to the public. Here is the broken guide:
Replacing the guide was no problem, I had a box of matching guides and if Ib could have striped to the blank and retied. a new guide it would have been 45 minutes plus finish work tops but I knew I couldn't match the under wrap. I had to try to preserve it. I used a dental pick to raise the thread and unwrap it from under the finish:
One side then the other:
Until I had removed all the old overwrap, broken guide and enough of the old finish to provide a solid bed for the new guide:
Then it was simply a matter of seating and wrapping the new guide, match the gold decorative trim and finish:
For comparison, here is the adjacent guide in original condition.
Nice work, the epoxy looks clean.
This was a set of two Seeker 670 tuna rods.
Great photo Joe, everything about it is right. Love the lever action.
Crappie.
