I couldn't care less, but if WM was truly doing it to PROTECT US then they should have stopped selling it IMMEDIATELY, instead of waiting until their current stock was sold out. That right there tells you that it's the money (profit) that takes priority.

Why can't they charge the ex-wife with the crime of "screwing a deadbeat", or "failure to prevent pregnancy"? I mean since she didn't report a rape or anything. Consequences always fall on the man whenever a male/female act goes wrong. That's BS! If you don't think it's BS then the next time your wife comes up with a plan, you tell her "Noway, forget it"......and see how that works out for you. They act as though a guy that remains married can't be a deadbeat SOB. You only get charged with failure to provide for your children if you're divorced. Crazy!

Blaming genetics on every action (or stupid decision) is opening up a whole new train of thought for me. I need more time to ponder this. 😅

Well he sure ain't gonna pay his child support while he's in jail....So now you get to pay for his kids and his ex wife, PLUS pay for his room, meals, legal defense, and medical care. At least when he was free and fishing he was feeding himself and stimulating the economy somewhat. 🤔

Poachers never worry. If they were worried then they wouldn't poach.

There's always stripers at Tonka. Legend says to hit it on the full moon in December.

They have hidden surveillance cameras down there now, but as far as I know they are only monitoring the parking areas. I wonder who sits and stares at those monitors and runs license plates? I know a couple years ago they busted a guy with a warrant for non-payment of child support.

The way things work around here is that if only one parent tells them to knock it off then the command isn't valid. It's only valid if both parents gang up on them about something. Apparently that's the way it works with DAUGHTER'S. So since my wife didn't back me up when I told them to "QUIT", it is HER fault. And that's why I didn't lift a finger to fix the Christmas tree mess, or clean up any broken glass. I did fetch a band-aid, but technically I wasn't even required to.

Yeah, completely sober too. 🤔 I don't understand people that just keep on going at speed when they cannot see what's in front of them. The very instant that you realize that you can't see..... Phucking STOP! When my kids were little, one of their favorite things to do was throw a towel over their head and take off running across the house 😡 The object was to keep taking turns doing it until somebody was bleeding or bawling. One went asshole over appetite down the stairs, another knocked over the Christmas tree, and then a mirror got broken and nearly cut her nose off. Still they kept being amused by that game. That's evidence of brain damage ! Same deal with flying down the lake in total darkness.

What part of the lake ? The upper Osage has been excellent for blues all Summer. Haven't heard anything in the last couple of weeks but nothing has changed so it's probably still good.

I thought gauge height was set (zeroed) by elevation (MSL). Is that not the case? Surely they aren't just measuring the depth of water at a given location, as that information would be useless.

You know what spoiled my infatuation with Johnson's ? That the last run of them were 4-stroke Suzuki's I mean....of all the audacity ! 🙄 Thankfully those are all dead and gone now....and the old School 2 strokes remain.

Typical Merc guy.... choking it too much.

Who'd ya hear that from ? Shouldn't be any need for overtime, the stream isn't that crowded.

That's exactly right! They are better looking, have better jobs and bigger johnson's.

That's pretty cool. Nice work !

For the same reason that they extended gigging season. Actually I believe it is because flyfishermen and cheese-chuckers don't do well when in the same room with each other. You can't play baseball and kickball at the same time on the same field.

Schlitz spring (above Waynesville) gets plenty of jet traffic, and I've seen them come up to Mitchelle (hwy.7) from down below, but I don't think I've seen one above 7hwy., except for a few areas (Black Ford, Falcon, ect.) where they obviously didn't run very far from where they launched.

Yeah I'd say the restaurant in the bluff is about the upper limit on jetboats on the Gasconade. What's that, about 10-15 miles, or 3 bridges, below Hazelgreen ? I used to paddle/drag from Hazel up to the confluence of the OF and a little beyond. Caught some nice ones along there.

You want a "deal"? You can probably dig a nice project out of this pile. Help yourself. Just please kill any spiders that you come across. 😊

The guys trolling those little Arkie crankbaits out in the middle of nowhere are doing pretty good. Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it, just throw them out and start idling around in circles wherever you see suspended fish and shad on the graph. It might be 15 feet or 70+. I couldn't do it, it would drive me crazy, but it is definitely working for them.

😄 Yes I was. But what the hell.....try unhooking YOUR rectifier too. 🤣😂🤣 I mean....Full Moon, Friday the 13th.... it's worth a try. 😆

There's a screen on the bottom of the pickup tube. If it becomes clogged then the primer bulb will suck in and won't spring back out. I'm guessing that you don't have that going on, or you would have mentioned it.

Ok....CDM. Things just got alot easier for you. Just verify that compression is good, verify that you have good strong spark on all 3 cylinders at cranking speed, and verify that the charging system is doing its job.....Then you can know for sure that it is a fuel system issue. Inspect all your fuel hoses for kinks or leaks, and if there is none then it's time for a carb rebuild job and to refresh the fuel pump diaphragm.

It's ok, we do that around here 😂 Wrong tag, but I can tell by the pics which one we're dealing with now. Whenever you tilt the motor up you loose a few drops of fuel/oil out the carb throats so the dampness in the attenuator cover is nothing to be concerned about right now. If it is excessive it could indicate a problem with the reeds....but let's not jump that far ahead just yet. Let's verify compression and ignition output first. Still need the serial# so I can look up whether it is a CDM ignition or standard CDI. Until you get me that, or a pic of the starboard side of the powerhead, we are just gonna talk about whatever. 🤣
