  1. I bet there's a Karen just waiting to pounce on the first one to crawl out of the ground! "Oh NO YOU DON'T, Mister...... You've been SERVED"!!!!! 🙇
  2. I'm not sure if this lil'tidbit is gonna come across as "Helpful" or if it's going to hurt somebody's feelings....... But the fish in Taneycomo are highly unlikely to become SELECTIVE on Cicadas. So don't get too hung up on that. The water is clear enough that no SPLAT is needed to "ring the dinner bell", or for them to notice your fly. The Cicadas might get them looking up, and taking bigger bites though, so don't hesitate to drift a #8 or #6 Stimulator, Royal Wulff, Chernobyl Ant, Oversized Crackleback.....or anything else you can reasonably tie onto 4x or 3x tippet. 👍

    I've got an upper lip like that 😂
  4. I can hear them singing off in the distance, but there were none on my property until a guy came pulling a boat in that had about 20 of them crawling around in it. They hang onto carpet really well. I ain't cleaning them out so....... 😉
  5. Just take the Blue Pill. In the grand scheme of things it truly doesn't matter. 👍

    According to him, his root is comparable in size to a 4 y/o's arm. 🤷‍♂️

    And you've been bragging about how hung you are ever since. 🙄 "Artificially" my foot! You probably bruised her cervix.
  9. Decoded: "My neighbor is putting a squirt of freon in it." 👍
  10. Did you get a lien-free title with it, or is this one of those hillbilly acquisitions?

    Whatever it is, it appears to be morphing.
  12. As expected 🏆 Great job, Ronnie.....and the Boys. 👍
  13. They are right, you can. 😉 The finesse part is never letting it get to that. 👍
  14. Well we finally got some local rain. 👍 No eggs or jizz in any of these.
  15. Ham & Johnsfolly will be jealous.
  16. My 13 year old daughter is forever saying... "Dad, how can you possibly know all the words to that song?" Possibly because I've been listening to it since I was YOUR age ! Awhile back she thought Motley Crue was a fresh new band. 😅
  17. Yeah, almost as corrosive as Ocean Spray.
  18. It's a powerful solvent for sure. Given just a short time it can dissolve things made from aluminum alloys. And given more time, it can dissolve things made of hardened steel. Including the actual containers used to hold & transport it. Varnish should be the least of anyone's worries. As far as the government is concerned..... people who lack decent quality fuel could find it more difficult to PAY TAXES, so the balance is critical.
  19. I hear this A LOT, and I've tested the fuel in the boats of those who claim that. It has always been 8-10% alcohol, so there's apparently a bit of a "play on words" going on there. I used to point it out and argue about it, but I don't even bother anymore. Everything that I work on seems to run just fine on FRESH 10% alcohol enhanced fuel.....The fuel just has a definite shelf life.
  20. The best Fishermen that I know.....The best Trap shooter that I know..... and the best Billiard player that I know...... Never enter into competition, or seek to get paid for it. 'nuff said. 🤷‍♂️
  21. Yo, I'm quoting what I was taught at MMI. If that is not how fuel Stabilizer works then.....By all means, Let's hear it ! I'm certainly not going to defend it, since there are a number of things we were taught that I later discovered were not exactly "factual". This is yet another reason why I don't automatically trust Doctors, Biologists, and other people who display degrees in "higher education". Because they are all full of $#!t. I kinda assumed that was true however...... because what could possibly be the reason to twist facts about FUEL STABILIZER ? So since you've properly googled it....let's hear it 😅 Please teach us how fuel stabilizer REALLY works.....or is supposed to. 🤔 And while you're at it, do us a favor and include the way you know that Google & the internet isn't programming your brain improperly.
  22. You might as well. 👍
  23. The only thing hatching around my place, so-far, are Termites, and the long, skinny caterpillars with the twin yellow stripes. Saw a lizard running across the shop floor with one of those caterpillars in his mouth today.....He seemed really proud of it. 😊
  24. Not anything that's less expensive than killing weeds with the aged fuel....and replacing it with fresh fuel, no. I actually had a boat in the shop last year with a 26gal.tank 3/4 full of two-year old fuel. We siphoned it out and threw it on a hillside covered in pokeweed & poison ivy. 4 days later the pokeweed was a little wilted, but it still survived. 😅 Now, that's either a testament to how worthless fuel can get within a couple years....or to the durability of pokeweed & poison ivy. 🤔 Fuel stabilizer (Stabil) is designed to create a barrier on top of a container of fuel, sacrificing itself to evaporation, and preserving the fuel below.......But that can only work if the container of fuel is kept stationary and not being moved around and shaken up. Therefore anyone putting Stabil in their fuel with every fill-up (as alot of folks do) is just wasting their money. They might as well be using Stabil to polish their chrome wheels and trim.... because it does do a good job of that 👍
  25. A mere amateur is all I am. But I'm not trying to be anything more. Just need something to occupy my mind If you consider yourself an amateur at photo/video production then somebody has set the bar WAY TOO HIGH ! The stuff you were doing 10 years ago, with equipment that was available before then, was fantastic. I can't imagine that it has done anything, if not gotten BETTER.
