  1. He doesn't even need to do that. He has magnets that will pin a 12 y/o kid to the refrigerator. Just swing one of those suckers around over the floor and it'll find it.
  2. I see it. It's 8" from the trash can on the right. 😊👍
  3. How much does she get from the government monthly?
  4. That sounds like a Gunner Brammer fly. If he hasn't claimed that name yet, then I want it for my next streamer concoction. 😊
  5. Glad you got out 👍
  6. I don't know, but I do know that people are having too many kids. And the less able/capable the couples are of raising and supporting them, the more kids they spawn. The ongoing continuation of this is not going to benefit society. We're headed downhill fast, y'all. 😳
  7. When I was a kid we fished the Salt river all the time, and there was a stretch from "Condemned Bridge" down to the confluence of the Mississippi where you'd catch these gray catfish with no adipose fin that the commercial fishermen called "Fulton's". I'm guessing that they were a cross between a channel and a blue..... but I dunno. I've never seen one anywhere else. We caught them fairly regularly in the mid 1970's, some up to 15-16 pounds, but mostly 3-5lbs.
  8. It's one thing if you're just making crap up as you go. It's a whole-nother thing if you're regurgitating the flawed information that was taught to you. I mean like...you had to answer the quiz THAT WAY in order to pass the training course. I honestly don't know which is worse.
  9. I've got nothin'. 😅 It does no good for me to read scientific literature because I'll invariably come across something that (in my mind) is hogwash.....and then I then I lose trust in ANY and ALL of it. About 80% of what I have studied in regards to fisheries biology, in my lifetime, has either been completely wrong, or at the least "generally inaccurate". So much so that it has given me such a frustrated attitude, that I now lack the capacity to just politely ignore it. I'd rather they say... "we just simply aren't sure at this time".....instead of filling in the spaces with S.W.A.G.'s and shortcut-accepting them as facts. Makes me wanna bang my head on the wall. Of course all of this is compounded for ME because of the training I went through to become an outboard technician, where 60% of what we were taught was literal BS, and did nothing but set us back intellectually in the field we were trying to master AND PAYING FOR IT.
  10. Sumpin ain't quite right wit dat boi ! 🤔
  11. I thought that 652.3 according to the Bagnell guage was the lowest I've seen. But they are saying it is 653.10 right now, and there is at least 3 FOW over things (like edges of boat ramps) that I've seen bone dry in the past.....So I don't know what's accurate. Let's just say that I've seen it about 3' lower than it is today. This is my beloved flat right now, and I've seen it completely dry, short of a trickle running down the middle.
  12. What's awe inspiring is: Why on earth a goose would prefer to live in the arctic ?
  13. Yes, but go very slowly backing in and try another lane if it looks like the wheels are falling off a ledge.
  14. Fix whatever is making it "unreliable", take it to the carwash and shine it up, and then keep it. Sell or trade it in at closer to 225k
  15. You'd have a better chance of suing that company if the product failed to secure a Gorilla to the wall.
  16. Humans are the only life form on the planet that ALLEGEDLY require pharmacutical drugs in order to survive in the region that they were born into. Notice that "allegedly" is capitalized, to emphasize the point that it is NOT a proven fact. Nonetheless it is accepted as a fact. Try to have a child with no "medical assistance" and you'll likely be arrested and jailed. Tortoise outlive us with no drugs at all, yet humans profess to be so much wiser. Are we?
  17. I wasn't denigrating them, they are delicious. And can even be kinda pretty at times But you can't deny that (inch-for-inch) even a crappie fights harder. I've always kinda figured that the reason why everything on them will cut you to the bone.....was to make up for the fact that they have no @$$ 😅
  18. Well #1: I don't do experimental drugs, regardless of who is passing them around. And #2: I'm not a "Republican". And #3: I don't recognize any Messiah. So why'd you quote ME ?
  19. You weren't wrong, you were just mistaken. 👍
  20. I bet it fought like a sack of dead kittens. 😂
  21. Yay! I knew if I held out long enough that somebody else would type all of that out so that I didn't have to. 😊 How about the red lips, Al? Have you got time for that one too?
  22. No, you just bleed out through your navel. It's any kids you conceive after the vaccine that have hooter-eyes.
  23. See ! They don't have a friggin clue WTF they are doing. It's like taking your car to the pet store to get the check engine light to go out.
  24. What are y'all gonna do, if 3-5 years down the road they discover.... "Oooopsy, that vaccine we pushed is causing people's belly buttons to bleed profusely, and all of their offspring have nipples on their eyelids. Plus the level of lactose intolerance, Diverticulitis, and gluten allergies has skyrocketed"? Your amount of trust in the medical profession and the government is concerning me. It's as if they've never screwed anything up before. 😔
  25. They just feel that they gotta have a (legal and constitutional) reason to interact with, and detain anyone at any given time. That's why we have all these senseless ignorant "laws" and "rules". Can't just have trained enforcement officers with all their toys just sitting around waiting for a legitimate complaint to be filed.......No Way! Get out there, shake down some folks, and generate some revenue for the city/county/state !
