  1. Excellent, I haven't fished swan creek in a LONG time. Used to wade fish it in summer.
  2. Nice, we gotta spanked last week, weather was tough.
  3. Congratulations. I tell my wife every year, well it's still not worth half of everything I have to get rid of her.
  4. Just use the National Weather Service, they kind of do it for a living.
  5. I wouldn't hesitate to shoot a white one or any color phase. Have seen partly white/black almost like a dominecker chicken, and a bronze/copper colored one, the bronze colored one was the neatest. They are nothing more than an off color turkey, ain't no thing.
  6. It never hurts to try. There are a few being caught shallow on warm days but rains and cold fronts are making the shallow bite tough. They are not quite there for the spawn but soon. Need both the daylight length and water temp. I think it will be a condensed spawn this year, hot and heavy but not as long lived as some years. They will spawn in waves for quite a while. Most are still staging or in pre spawn. Couple other things of note, the water on the lower end has been very clear They won't be right up on the banks to spawn, if it stays clear they will be out in 6 to 8 or so of water. Lastly outflows have been increased significantly so the lake level will be dropping and may pull some of the stained water further down the lake. However again you won't ever know unless you go. I have had some fabulous fishing trips in terrible conditions and drawn a blank it what should have been perfect conditions. Sometime the dang fish don't know what want. 😀
  7. Sexual Orientation. Most often facing South but not adverse to any other direction.
  8. The wild plums are always tart, kind of like pie cherries, takes a lot of sugar.
  9. Even natives can become invasive or at least a problem. Last few years redbuds have been trying to take over a small patch, persimmons, plums, oaks, Hickory all of them at times can become an issue depending on what you are trying to accomplish.
  10. I can't decide if the "change of menu" was intentional or just Oneshots wording. Either way was funny.
  11. Finally got the mimosas about killed out, occasionally a sprout will pop up still. Musk thistle is about like killing out starlings, you never win. I know places that have had the bugs for 20 years, still have plenty of musk thistle. I always have some brush killer around, mtiple times a year I go through the pastures and give the kiss of death to things like multiflora rose, honey locust, Osage orange, thistles and anything else that I see and want to kill. So far after a lot of years I have yet to make those checks and NOT find plenty to spray. When the wipers become invasive I will.bring steaks and cold MGD for ya FW.
  12. Wow, you created your own Arc Flash incident? Yes shoulder is Titanium and thus the MRI doesn't care about it.
  13. Hmm I have had several MRIs and never had an issue, not even with the completely new shoulder parts.

    What's Cooking?

    Some walleye fillers and squash pieces on the Blackstone. Inside are some baby carrots cooked in sprite with some brown sugar added to glaze them a bit. Grandson and wife approved. She even caught some of the walleye. She is a strange one, caught 3 walleye on her first attempt but can't catch a white bass? I guess if she can only catch one the walleye is a good choice.
  15. We replaced the carpeted boards on a boat at work with solid PVC boards, more out of concern over Zebra Mussel transfer than anything. I have seen several folks over the years with boats on the ramp that said we'll that never happend before. Maybe so but it happened this time. I always crank it up tight and make sure the "Oops chain" is also attached incase the strap or winch fails.

    An Idea

    Building them.might not be easy on your back. Find an Amish family, become their driver and they will keep you in produce, maybe.
  17. I had shingles a few years ago, and got the shingles Vaccination exactly one year later. Shingles SUX
  18. Sounds like Oneshot take 2, Maybe Two-shot?
  19. I gave up covering them years ago. They gotta make it on their own. Have done better since I quit taking su h good care. About the only thing I plan or grow early early enough to worry about frost is strawberries. Every few years an early bloom and late frost come together and I will throw some sheets over them.snow one year.
  20. Many years ago when I toted around a 7 Mag, I had 3 deer in some brush behind, a doe and two fawns, decided I wanted one of the fawns. Kaboom went the old 7 Mag whe I pulled it back out of the recoil deer were running everywhere, I hammer one of them, dropped it and headed to the house for the tractor. Picked it up and drove by where they were when I fired the first shot. And there laid the first one, stone cold dead. Good thing I had two tags.
  21. For whatever reason some carrridge/bullet combos seem to put deer down better. The old .30-30 with 150 grain flat point is a good example, most shots are fairly close, that big thin skinned slow moving bullet expands well and usually exits. .243 perfect shot is kapow no more lungs, deer generally runs 50 yards and piles up stone cold dead. But sometimes they just don't know they are dead. I have seen deer that I thought I must have missed that jumped a Fence and piled up, you just never know. Even a 10 second run can cover quite a bit of territory with a white tail. I like bullets to hit where I aim, expand, and exit. Physics will do the rest, if I do my part.
  22. I have shot deer with a lot of different calibers and rifles. It's a lot about where you hit them, some about what kind of bullet you hit them with, and sometimes a deer just doesn't know its dead yet. Remember jump shooting a 9 lt buck one year with my 7 Mag. trailing it for about 60 yards by blood and pieces of lung to where it ran straight into a forked tree and died. He was dead from the "bang" but want ready to quit. Since my wife decided to deer hunt I have rediscovered the fabulous fall fishing opportunities.
  23. Breakfast is my favorite meal to cook. Back when I had kids at home, there would be night when 6 or more teenage girls would spend the night at my house. It is absolutely amazing how many pancakes or slices of French toast a group of girls who "aren't hungry" can put away with some homemade strawberry freezer jam to put on them. Too bad I didn't have a Blackstone then. Sure do miss those days!
  24. YES!!!! It is amazing what good news from an Oncologist does for your outlook.
  25. Local shop had some of 6.5. I can look next time I am there if ya want. I don't have a 6.5 so I didn't even look at the price.
