How much rice do we need? I can make it.

Scout Motto, always be prepared.

A couple posts above Griz said he was gonna make chili for Friday possibly. I'm good either way. I will be down Friday around noon.

I seen similar wirh a well fed raccoon and a large rock. The racoon was not fazed although it was forced into a somersault, by n the rock. I don't mess with wild animals, but keep a special eye out for them racoons.

Come and help us do that.

I will be down Friday noon ish.

I see it often at Schnucks. Not for a buck fifty, though.

@Phil Lilley 22 holds 3, correct?

Getting close folks. I'm planning to be down Friday early afternoon. I will share a cabin. Weather looks like it will be pretty darn good. I have an electric smoker I can bring along with a fish fryer and propane.

Seen this on FB, kinda fits the conversation.

I haven't been to WOW. That is a really clean and clear tank. We went too the Branson Aquarium a few years ago. Had it almost to ourselves, and it was a great time. I really enjoy aquariums, but the constant hustle and bustle is quite annoying. I know, I was always guilty of it at the Zoo, as a kid. Now I understand why there are hundreds of benches. Maybe I'll have to go on a weekday, early.

Yes, and I'm grateful to see them. Excellent fishing. So many cool species of fish we don't get to see. Thanks for sharing.

No, not rust. Just weird angle and Probably not cleaned right. The one with the sausage is a much newer purchase. I haven't gone all in, but do like to use the cast iron. There are many ways to poach them, some use only water stirred in a whirlpool type of way, and caught wirhna strainer. @ness, I just cooked (steamed) them in the nonstick coated cups, and dumped them out. They needed a little motivation with a silicone spatula.

While everyone else is asleep I decided to finally try poached eggs. For years my parents Francine Campbell , and Daniel Peckron have told me how easy to make, and how good they are. They even bought me a kit, with instructions and all. I will try anything once. (Within loose reason). But I'm a creature of habit. Once I find what I like, I stick with it. Well, for scientific reasons, I made and ate 4 poached eggs. Only 1 piece of sausage. The others were to be controls, LOL. My thoughts are as follows. 1st one, almost tasteless, very runny. 2nd tasted really good, would be great on toast. 3rd tasted good, and also started to feel like eating for something to sustain appetite. 4th, not bad, close to a soft boiled egg, also felt like eating something to sustain an appetite. The first two gave the sensation of eating chips. You could eat alot and not really feel full.

I've never considered crappie in Taneycomo. Interesting that you are selling minnows. Seems like a good offering for crappie.

I preferred these one cast videos. I like the longer format for info. But the one cast was more enjoyable as a 5 minute or less video. My thoughts anyhow.

I'm sure it's similar to the desire for fly tying. Plenty options are available, but it's just interesting doing it yourself.

Interesting list. Took me a few tries to realize it was a sideshow. I was scrolling up and down, not left and right. Gonna have to look up the incident with the fighter jet vs boar.

I'm thinking fall, not sure where, probably a family trip. I want to go northeast.

My goal for this year is to go saltwater fishing. I must catch something for it to count. That is it.

@gotmuddy may be able to show you the Buffalo or at least give some tips. We stay very close (wading distance) to the confluence of Buffalo and White River for jigfest. I would like to catch a ddecent fighter, so far the ones I've caught have not given the tugs or fights that I have read about. I haven't caught any of size also.

Sandy, my apologies. I'm really looking forward to meeting you, and anyone else who I may not have thought to tag. Everyone who is a member of OAF is welcome and invited. This is a group worthy of hanging out with.

@Mitch f

I guess it's kinda like the term Hoosier around St. louis. Some take it in pride, others use it to put someone down. Most from anywhere else, either can't pronounce it, or think of Indiana. @Mitch f there is a whole thread about lathes on here. Probably not the kind you would be interested in though.

Yup, read the whole thing. What is an Iowegian? The food all looked great, and I'm glad you all got to share time together. Tonight's dinner. Quartered potatoes from The Little Potato Company. Baked in melted butter, in a casserole dish, (I was trying to channel the potatoes from jigfest). Sprinkled some garlic salt, let them bake at 425 for about 25 minutes. Added some shredded parmesean cheese and shredded mozzarella. Grilled steaks on a cast iron griddle, over the stove. Bag of broccoli and cauliflower microwaved wirh zome velveta cheese. A kings Hawaiian roll to serve as the bread portion.
