Well had surgery #3 today, still numb from the nerve blocker. If I was to say it's not a struggle, I would be lying. My wife has been extremely helpful and positive. She is more than I deserve. But I have no intention of letting her go. Still unable to walk at this time, but it is temporary. I am expecting to be able to walk. Not really sure of a time frame. Multiple answers coming from multiple people, as is normal with most anything. Thanks again everyone.

I agree with you fully. I do. But while you were gone for a while and before you left, these discussions have been argued, fought, and we've lost alot of good contributing members due to different interpretations of what May be, Could be, Should be, Can be, etc done to fix any waterway. Feelings have been hurt. I see your desire to make a change. The positive support IS underwhelming. But we just can't come to a good clear result. My local water has been getting decimated by Asian Carp. To the extent that I bought a bowfishing outfit, and learned how to.make my own arrows a couple years ago. I have not shot it once. Why? Ethics. But my ethics may differ from everyone else. That's why I love this place. I understand the dead fish really take a toll. But unless you can with out a doubt, and with adequate proof, determine how each individual fish died we are at a stalemate. I appreciate your stance. I'm not against you, and most on here want better fishing everywhere. But instead of feeling like you are alone, try to find another angle. This is Ozark ANGLERS Forum. This may be the meds talking. I'm not one to write so much.

From my son Lucas. I got fired from my job at the bank today. A lady came to me and asked me to check her balance. I pushed her over and said "not very good".

If you go pre-dawn, Doty's Signature Series jerk baits have been doing really well. Per reports I've read.

I've been slacking, thankfully @Johnsfollyhas been keeping this alive.

Man, I've been away for a while. On the Oxycodone myself, and have had a hard time keeping attention to any one thing. I have experienced back issues, and I do believe alot of my "BACK" issues are often Gas issues. I know it's not a popular discussion. Wrench, honestly, you have tried so many options, and like belly buttons, we all have opinions. Try multiple ways of bending, flexing, with something that helps compress your stomach. You may start to notice passing more gas than you are used to. It is not instant relief, but progressive. Inhave.went to doctors over it, and no real diagnosis. My doctor once told the wife " He may be full of Crap, literally" . Well I do believe he was on to something. Yoga for beginners is helpful also. Posture and new shoes are also great things listed earlier. I do hope you find a way out of the pain.

I was kind of disappointed to hear that Forrest Gump didn't get any credit in this movie. 😕 LOL

Interesting. Haven't seen this before.

The center contact looks to be corroded right now. You can try a pencil eraser to clean it up. Theynwork great and being on top of a pencil, you can get into narrow areas.

Bro, I've been living that life for many years. They tell me I'll get bored once the kids move on, 22, 15, and 12 year olds. I laugh in their face. I have so many options that need to be explored. And on top of that, I have so many other states that need to be explored.

She has insurance with a standard company. I have enough UIM if hers would be exhausted. I don't know all of the details, only my side. I do appreciate your sentiment.

And I believe that. Day by day, I've already been told it gets worse before it gets better. But on a good note, no crosses were needed on the side of the road. Thank you all. I would be lying if I said I haven't been emotional. I just need a place to vent last night.

Just for clarification, it happened on Hwy B, between 21 and hwy EE. Things are definitely much better than they would have appeared. It may not have been Hillsboro limits but very near.

Good job. I don't believe I could have that done in 3 hours.

Guys, I was in a really bad car accident yesterday (Sunday) afternoon. My right femur is broken and I had surgery on it this afternoon. My left foot is also broken. Going to have surgery on it in a couple of days when some of the swelling goes down. I'm in need for nothing. We have great insurance all around. My 15 year old son was driving with his permit on a two lane highway in Hillsboro MO. He has a couple scratches and bruises. The other driver was also minor injuries per my understanding. The oncoming vehicle crossed lanes and hit us head on at 65mph. Each vehicle. The other driver was in our lane to keep from hitting approaching deer. Needless to say, I won't have my beloved canoe finished in my goal of 1 year. But I will work on getting it ready for next spring. I know we have people who see powers in spirituality in many different ways. If you can find a moment tto send out positivity in any fashion, I will be eternally grateful.

Yes, I cut out the damaged strips and have one already gluing in place. Replacing 3 strips. I tried using a spring clamp to hold the replacement in place, and cracked a strip on the other side.

Oops.

But aren't they all Alligator Gar? Lol

Lots of options in the area. I've never used the lodging options as I live here. The rates do increase when there is a game. Sometimes there may be a convention also and that will reduce availability. Keep valuable items out of the car, and be aware the stadium does now have metal detectors.

Sounds to me like it's not repairable, and it may be time to sell it. You just happen to be in luck, I'm willing to take it off your hands, just a shame that they are only going for $150 nowadays. LOL. Sounds like you've done the hardest part. Keep at it and let us know how it's going.

A stinky fish is better than no fish.

I followed his build. The Little Auk. He did amazing. Glad you got to try it out. @laker67I expect to be around 50 pounds give or take. It is all glued. I milled each strip. The brown is Western Red Cedar, and the red is Eastern Red Cedar. I am curious about the nets. Did you weave the ropes or purchase them? If I'm using incorrect terminology, I apologize. I'm no woodworker myself. Just alot of encouragement from many other builders and good directions from books/YouTube/and Facebook Groups.

I realized I have not been updating my progress

I think it's amazing they can see, and remember their lines. I had a hard time deciding where I thought theynwould consider going. We have the luxury of higher view perspective due to the high mount camera. I wonder if that is a setup where one person steers and the other operates the throttle. That would add even more strategy. I'm not that kind of adrenaline junkie. But I liked the camera view.
