I think I'd rather drink whatever nasties might be in there than to drink bleach. The thing that (kinda) concerns me is that I run outboards over my well every day. Seems like some of that would get back into my water supply, but my water is always crystal clear and tastes pure and delicious. It's loaded with minerals though because we have to vinegar the coffee maker by-weekly, and owning a dishwasher has proven to be a waste (they won't last 3 months) unless a softener is put inline, which for some reason I just don't want to do. So we wash dishes the old fashioned way.

Yeah, you gotta filter it and add enough poison to immediately kill the things that can make you sick, but not enough to kill the people immediately. A customer gave me a test kit and instructions on how to test my well water. I have been drinking it for 20 years so I decided I'd just rather not know. Who here has a well and periodically has it tested? And if it ever tested bad then what did you do about it?

Unless it kills ALL the fish then it isn't the algae's fault, it's the fish's fault for not being tolerant to it.

I can highly recommend this one. https://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/Leapers_UTG_3_9x32_AO_Rifle_Scope_Mil_Dot_Reticle_1_4_MOA_1_Tube_3_8_Rings/4627

Gotta be careful of THAT. Men like us are a prime target for them gold diggin' ho's.

Why thighs? I'm curious why anyone would/could prefer a chicken thigh for anything. If I was chopping up chickens I'd throw those thighs to the dog. Legs, wings, and breast are the only parts of a chicken that I find tasty and worth messing with.

True. I currently have 4, and could really use 3 more. The wife wants a toon, and I need a center console flats skiff and a solo canoe.

The personal pontoon craze has sure petered out, hasn't it? I really enjoyed that for a couple years but went right back to a canoe. It just does it all, and does it well.

My position has always been that if you can't kill or eliminate the disease, and it isn't necessarily fatal then why bother any further with it? It's just another fact of life that we have no control over, so IMO there's no sense in wasting anymore time and money in the name of it. I'd rather see all that CWD money going to homeless drunks, or birth control for crackheads.

Awesome! Seriously, you should be proud. A steak dinner is definitely in order.

400.00/per hour, or 2000.00/ overnight. If single and lonely I might be interested in about 3 minutes. That comes to 6.66 per minute. Coincidence? 😳

Honestly the stigma being permanently attached to Coconut's is undeserved. It gets a tad rowdy once or twice per year, but for the most part it has evolved into a very family friendly place. They don't over-serve, and they certainly can't control what people do after they leave. Typically folks will spend awhile at Coconut's, then they'll go cove out in Indian Creek the rest of the day. If they are wasted when they head out of the Gravois arm it isn't directly because of Coconut's.

Nah, that's only fun when I'm behind the computer screen and he can't throw smoldering logs at me. 😋

Back in the day I worked at a Marina, my boss called his mechanics "Wrenches". A customer was in the office asking about how to catch some bass, but nobody in the office did any fishing, so my boss said "I don't do any fishing but I have a wrench that fishes all the time, go back there and ask him". The guy (a good friend of mine now) walked back into the shop area and hollered, Which one of you is the fishinwrench? The next day they put that name on my time card and it just stuck. The avitar is a proud symbol of a group of guys that I used to hang out with, used to talk to every day, and still love like family.

Does your Jerid know my Curt ?

Aw man! That rod failure was totally hoaxed.😏

And getting better by the day.

If you wanna see a true retard just watch me try to reel left handed.

Yep, that's the guy. Silver/Chart. back. Only because it allowed him to see it at all times.

No but anytime about Mid Arkansas I would have welcomed that and gladly surrendered. It was fun looking back, and cool to be able to tell the story, but in all honesty none of us had any fight left and we all pretty much just wanted to die. 😅

Never. I won't even take an ibuprofen for a headache. Someone must have slipped me the red pill in a Mickey Finn because I never would have taken it on my own.

I wouldn't even want to do it in a motor boat. That river is intimidating. Have done the Miss. from Louisiana Mo. to Natchez LA. in a 16' Ouachita Jon boat. That was an experience I'll never forget. Was headed for New Orleans but just couldn't make it.

Surely your memory is good enough that you can just brief me? 😊

Paddling a yak tends to wear me out between my shoulders after a short while. I can paddle a canoe all day and not be sore at all.

The best jerkbait trout guy I have ever fished with threw only one bait. Rapala F13SFC on 12# line. The first time we fished together he rolled more Browns in one day than I had caught all year.
