It's a self correcting problem.

I have no carp phobias, but have a couple of recipes! "If they are fixed properly".

Yep I remember it.

Too hot, brush hogging pasture, watching grandson.

Wish I have taken a moment to take a photo. Supper was farm and freezer tonight. Found the big walleye I had caught at Truman 2 years ago frozen in water in the freezer all of his 7lbs. Brined it for an hour or so in salt, old bay and rosemary. Put the chunks on a foil lined sheet cake pan painted with melted butter, garlic powder, a shot of lemon juice and some soul food seasoning. While I was doing that and grilling my wife dragged out the big cast iron skillet, which doesn't get used much in summer, filled it with tayers, onions and garlic. Dessert was the result of this mornings trip to the garden, picked 15 canteloupes. My porch absolutely reeks so you know they are ripe and good. Finished with some splashing in the pool with grandson. Good summer evening.

Everybody goes out of this world feet first.

If only you could know for sure when they were going to fly over you. Guns, blanks, fake blood, etc. Could find out real quick if it was LE. Could be a lot of fun. I am not very photogenic so I would be wearing speedos pretty quick, video this fellers.

Not a big white bass guy, but darn I love a surfacing school.of whites.

Yes it does take time to accumulate data, especially with something like CJD or even worse the vCJD, of which a total of 4 cases have been identified by the CDC in the US. The information Johns folly posted shows that not only is CDC aware of it, they vigorously track down the background and life history of the person who contracts it. Are there folks who slip through the cracks, likely so, but still the occurrence of vCJD is so low the data is very difficult to come by. I will happily trust my life to the CDC research, he'll I have given my life over to Dr's once already. Doesn't mean I will go out and eat every sick deer I find, heck even coyotes don't do that. Where I am every deer killed gets tested for CWD so I am not overly concerned, even though I am in a hot spot for it. Besides some of the best crappie fishing of the year happens about opening weekend of deer season. Well heck, just looked at the mail and I have a post card from MDC telling me we are eligible for up to 5 additional deer harvest tags. Hope my wife don't see it, will really cut into my fishing time.

There are also more cases of most diseases which are attributed to many things, primarily better diagnosis and higher level of medical care. I may agree somewhat with FW on some issues here, some sun is good for the body overdosing on sun or pretty much anything is not healthy.

Let me reiterate, LD does wrote some entertaining books and articles. His scientific, watch dog and plain attack articles well they fall way short, however he has every right to write them. Often while wildly inaccurate they are thought provoking, which does have some value. And like I mentioned before many of his hit/attack pieces begin with some good, truthful or love data and then just go off the rails. I have no doubt that he is very passionate about many things and believes he is truly a watchdog. As for changes in water quality, while many groups follow, track, yest and offer technical advice the only real changes come through legislation, i.e. state or fedeal agencies. Primarily MO DNR and EPA.

You have a tough life! 😁

For that sir I say thank you for your commitment.

FW, there are things I agree with you on. Every one of us has our "pet peeves" and would live to see more focus on. For several years I wanted them to stop.worrying about quail, it was a losing fight, and focus on rabbit habitat, could easily increase rabbit numbers and I had beagles, I most certainly wasn't unbiased. I do uderstand some things like using full sized trucks, they will often be required to bring a boat of varying sizes and launch them in some questionable locations, or haul several hundred pounds of seed, or pull a no till planter, or a trailer with ATV, UTV or other equipment. Those types of thing are often not seen except by the few people involved.

Bring me a big bag of wings I will toss them.in a tereyaki sauce and smoke them for about 3 hrs. Toss them in a mild buffalo wing sauce and eat, get a couple layers of flavor without the falling off the bone texture.

Let me be clear, I am not an artist and know nothing about art. But that is a darn nice painting ma'am.

Yep I am well aware of the differences, but when one prey base has a bad year fish do well at shifting to a more available one. Shad which are the main prey of white bass seem to be pretry reliable in their reproductive efforts. I can't remember a bad year, some unbelievably good years but no bad one I recall. What I have never been able to figure out is why Pommes white bass seem to have a tough road the last 15 years or so but Stockton, truman, and LOZ seem to chug along just fine.

Unless somehow the water is literally running back into the well head, which it shouldn't be able to do there isn't any real way for it to get into your drinking water, it has a couple hudred feet of earth to filter it. I don't like soft water, never have so I just keep plenty of white vinegar around along with some Worx. The aerator screens on the sinks have to be soaked a few times a year. Oddly our dishwasher I bought in 1996 and is still going, we do run cleaner through it about every month. Coffee maker, I Coffee I think gets water run through a zero water filter, at least it does when my wife refills it. Water heater is the biggest pain, about once a year I get to replace the elements and I have a piece of copper tubing that will just fit in the element hole to remove what I can of the accumulated lime. Just part of life on well water.

Summertime white bass can be fast and furious. Used to get into them on Truman like that. Like schools of pirahana. They are pretry good eating too, never had a single worry abuUT them being too numerous and too much competition for other fish, still dont.

Way back when we used to host some kids from the boys ranch occasionally we were required to test our well. Procedure as I recall was to drop some chlorine tablets down at the well cap, then pour some liquid bleach down. Run some water unail you smell bleach the let set a couple hours. Then let a hose run until it cleared up, then take a sample. That would have over 30 years ago. I don't test now for the same reason FW doesn't test.

Me too, I think I had the same handle on there, I am not very inventive when it comes to such things.

Likely the fish kill is similar to others happening right now. High water temps, and low oxygen are putting increased stress on the fish and allowing other vectors such as normally benign bacterial or viral infections to flourish and bring about death. If it was due to a harmful algal bloom (HAB) people such as MDC, DNR and CU would be more concerned.

Breasts and drumsticks are the last things eaten at my house unless I cut the breasts up into tenders and grill them. To my tastes thighs have the best flavor of the chicken followed by the wings, of course I am cheap too.

No pics, but making a garlic chicken Alfredo for supper. Marinated the thighs in coca cola and a lot of garlic then grilled them. Sliced thin and into the Alfredo sauce with some more garlic. Now the real point of this post, while at the local store to get some Alfredo sauce I spotted a big ole smoked jowl for like $5, so of course I bought it. But what exactly am I gonna do with it, am.considering big thick slices and grill them to make sammichs. Sort of a JLT.
