Some of the flies I've been tying.

Looking fine! 👍 -
Help a noob/re-entry angler get set up.

It isn't for me, so I'm not a fan. But for someone reluctant to graduate from a Zebco 33.......Why not? -

Well, just today I caught 7 keeper bass from 2 to 3.5 pounds, and a bunch of shorter fish, and all but a couple were stuck within 12-15ft. of the boat. (A 18' boat with trolling motor whirring, and 2 transducers clicking). -

Not really sure what angle(s) you are working towards. I don't believe you are giving a genuine response, not sure why. I figured he wouldn't know what Tenkara was.......so he would Google it, and find it interesting. Low tech. It was a genuine response. 🤷♂️ -

I highly recommend Tenkara. -
If times get so hard that we have to start eating carp, then owls, eagles, and crows aren't safe either.

The Tom Sawyer is back, and living in Gravois Mills.

Not sure, but I rode on it when I was 14. A customer of mine bought it and is restoring it. It's gonna be a floating (but anchored) bar&grill. -
Oh it COULD BE, but it isn't. I'm the most together and chill person you likely even know.

My experience has always been just the opposite. Mostly bitter middle-aged gals (Karen's) whose goal in life is to prevent anyone who comes into contact with them from having a pleasant and chill day........UNLESS you just happen to be a relative, or a friend of her family.

Oh, I don't think you'll never hear, or see, the accredited "disease detectives" report anything out of line to the general public. 🙄

One of these days, somebody that has had all that they can stand, is gonna go into a license bureau armed to the teeth.......and I hope like hell I'm not there when it happens. 🥴

My daughter traded Jeeps and it has been a genuine ordeal getting it properly licensed. Her first trip to the license bureau required a lien release FROM THE DEALERSHIP she bought it from. 🤔 Second trip they said they needed "authentic milage certification" 🙄 (never heard of that one). So she has to go back to the dealership and have one of their certified techs sign off on the milage. Of course the service department is swamped.....so it'll be next week before anyone can break away to do THAT......and she WORKS from 8:30-6;00 (dealership hours are 9-5 of course). Meanwhile she's driving around just waiting to be pulled over by a cop and given a ticket for improper registration. She has to drop her car off.... WITH THE KEYS IN IT......and Uber to work....and Uber home, then Uber back the dealership and go into work late the next day so she can pick up her jeep and the "certification", and key, after 9:00......Then make a 3rd trip BACK to the license bureau within 48 hours of the certification date/time. This is Kansas City BS ! 🤬

Placebo medication and procedures are a REAL thing, and for a real reason. Just think about that for awhile... Let me just give you a dandy scar while you are passed out. Then give you an excellent report when you wake up ("We got it ALL"! 🙂) ......Then just sit back and watch the amazing recovery. 👍

Just sit down with a bag of chips, or corn-nuts and they'll climb right up in your lap. 🙄

Toothpaste, Tampons, Vienna Sausage, Fruity Pebbles, Windex, WD-40, Transmission fluid, Dog Food, and everything else you need to survive. Dollar General, Pete !

Go out of the Gravois ramp, there's 2 motels within walking distance of the access. One is lakeside and has a dock. If you get hungry there's 500 geese and 200 ducks in the yard. And a DG right across the street.

Which take-off/weigh-in area are you using?

Sunglasses

When the Hibdons were sponsored by Solar Bat I tried a couple pair, but the way they are designed my eyelashes brushed the lenses unless I pulled them halfway down my nose. I'm not sure how guys tolerate that because it isn't like I have exceptionally long eyelashes or something. 🤷♂️ -
That's the magic key, right there. If you have a friend/acquaintance at the license office then you can accomplish ANYTHING YOU WANT, in.less than a minute. I know for a fact that it's possible to walk in there with no documentation whatsoever......and accomplish exactly what you need. This is why dealing with them pisses me off so bad.

Medicine is more perfect and statistically less harmful and more easily recoverable than attempts at surgical procedures, by a huge margin. I grew up around doctors and surgeons, my parents were both hobknobs in the medical profession. Plus I have bunches of customers that are as well. I'm not even willing to eat their potato salad......So I'll be darned if I'm gonna be gambling my life to them unless the chance that I can recover naturally, or continue to live a halfway decent life is absolutely 100% not possible. That's just ME though. If you wanna get your Covid and Monkeypox vaccine, have your tonsils removed, your breasts smashed, and your colon irrigated every couple years.......then you just go right ahead. 👍 I'm just chiming in with my personal thoughts on the matter. We get to choose, and I just choose differently than some others. Free thinker.....and all that, ya know? ✌️ The way I look at it: I only have to make it another 15 or so years, then I'll be about ready to write a book and give up the ghost. Who the heck wants to be a drain on their loved ones by hanging around well into their 90's? 😅

Still functioning as a lip. Keeps the bugs out of my mouth, and keeps my food and drinks inside my mouth. I can whistle, and talk clearly. And there's no pain associated with it. Not the prettiest thing to look at..... but I don't see it unless I look in a mirror, and I'll be darn if I'm going to undergo months of traveling back and forth to Columbia just for everyone else's benefit. If you don't like the way my lip looks, then look away. 😁 I knew a dude that had a hotrod PSE bow explode in his face during an archery shoot. He was a Co-Mo lineman with excellent health insurance. The doctors didn't fix his face up very pretty at all......but his wife and kids still loved him, he didn't lose any friends over it, and he lived a long healthy life. We can't all be perfectly glamorous forever. I'm still just thankful it wasn't my eyeball. 👍

Call your local license bureau and ask them, point blank,.... "What all do I need to bring to you?".... before you ever even bother to go up there. And take notes. Otherwise they will come up with some piddlyassed reason to ruin your day. It's what they live for.

My dad had a bit of pneumonia, when x-rayed they spotted a smaller than dime size spot and brought it to his attention. After they informed him of it he swore that he could "feel it" (typical hypochondriac 🙄) so after he beat the pneumonia he elected to let them operate to see if they could remove it. Once inside him they couldn't find it, so they just sewed him back up. He worried himself sick about it, literally stopped doing everything and died 8 months later. (From WHAT..... we'll never know). Had he just blew it off and went on with his life he'd probably still be here today. Doctors aren't always right, and aren't always successful. The only ones left to sing their praises are the ones that survive their procedures....and lots don't. Many of those who don't would have been way better off had they just been left alone. And many who are "fine"after a procedure would have been just as FINE had they never had it. Personally, in the past, I have passed on having knee surgery, shoulder surgery, and eye surgery.......and I currently have no knee, shoulder, or eye problems whatsoever. Our bodies have pretty amazing healing capacities, if you just have the patience to allow it to happen. Other (all?) people who have had knee/shoulder/eye surgery are never "100% right" again, and it's a constant ailment/disability for the remainder of their life.

......and has is benefitted you? I know so.....SO.....many people who spend on average of 2 days per week going back and forth, to and from, doctors offices, hospitals, and VA appointments, and they never, ever, seem to get any better. Only gradually worse. Kinda makes me think that all of that doctor/hospital time would be much better spent somewhere along a calm quiet creek bank, either fishing, or praying, or just sitting in a lawn chair next to a picnic basket in the shade.
