Probably not so much. I was raised to tuck my shirts in ..... Drives my wife and daughters crazy but I can't stand being "sloppy".

I have a hard time with finding shorts for myself. Short shorts are out of style, and I can't stand shorts that go to my knees. What's the point of shorts if all you're doing is airing out your calves and ankles?

Imagine that. You didn't adjust well to your environment. 😄 I have had some spots (ear and forehead) that took a long time to heal and kinda concerned me. I know darn well that if I had gone to a doctor about them they would have put me through a bunch of crap and would have had me driving back and forth to Columbia 14 times, and they woulda milked it for all they could. I just kept the areas clean and kept smearing a little triple-antibiotic on them, and finally after a few months they healed up perfectly. I have a tiny little spot on my upper lip right now that refuses to heal completely where I got smacked with a bungee strap way back in September. If I let a doctor look at it he'd send me to some specialist and they'd try to carve half my face off. No thanks.

She didn't really "let me". She was passed out drunk and didn't care. So maybe sober parents are the leading cause of skin cancer. 🤣

If you'd just take it out of your mouth for a minute it would!

I resent y'all making me feel bad for loving the feel of the sun beating on my bare skin. When did this anti-sun propaganda begin anyway? Thinking back to all the old sun leathered farmers and outdoorsmen I grew up around, I can't recall a single one that died from, had to get treated for, or even complained about the possibility of "skin cancer". I'm not too sure that you fellas haven't allowed your brains to be reprogrammed about some of these things. I was born into a world that had a sun, thankfully,....and be darn if I'm gonna hide from it and take pride in any extreme whiteness. I'd get alot more sun on my privates if it wouldn't get me arrested. 😎

Just proves my point that the world is full of bastards, the number increasing rapidly the further one gets from Gravois Mills, Mo.

No, you misunderstood. What she said was..... "You're a horses @$$".

Chief is the official smoker chef. Unless he wants to stand behind me, drink beer, and tell me what I'm doing wrong. Somebody needs to bring a bushel basket full of those morels y'all keep fussin' about.

Oh Chiefy, I'm 55 years old and have owned fishing poles for 51 of them. I've caught carp on spincast gear, spinning gear, baitcasting gear, fly rods, trotlines, limb lines.... and I wanna say jugs too... but that might not be true. Gar pull like hell too, and they even jump sometimes, but inspite of what appears to be "excitement" I'm just not into persuing them purposely. I will, however, stand on the bank with a beer while YOU catch them, and tell you what you're doing wrong. 😊

I remain uninspired. Can you make it sound more worthwhile in any way? We can have a bonanza without even a single carp, I promise. 😄

There's some big ol'grassies at my favorite bluegill pond, but MDC owns it so we can't even drink a beer there 🙄

I'd be all in, but I honestly don't know of a truly good carp hole. We have a bunch of pretty skilled bowfishers around here and even they go elsewhere these days. If I absolutely had to catch a carp I'd probably visit one of these lakeside restaurants where they feed them and keep them around. They'd probably throw a fit if we started harrassing their pets with hook&line.

Wow, that's a big ol'Carp. I'd be proud of THAT one. Congrats to the angler ! You tell him I said congrats, MoCarp. I'm sure he's a personal buddy of yours.

I was leading the shot. Figured it would be another 4 hours before anyone else clicked it. My bad, I wasn't taking into consideration that my most faithful follower would be jumping on every thread that I post on....within minutes. Seems you could use a whiff of calming butternut posh. ☺️

The fact that this post has been up for 20 hours and not a single person has posted: "Awesome!" "Congrats to the angler!" "Man what a HOG!" tells me that you are the only carp guy that frequents this place. 😏 One of my friends has a wife that is into aromatherapy. The only time anyone pretends to care anything about aromatherapy is when she turns a conversation into it and we all try to be polite.

That sucks ol' boy. Sorry to hear it. Shoulder pain is a mofo!

Why not? What's wrong?

Hey I didn't start it ! 😎 If the dollar crash apocalypse happens in April, of whatever year, then I'm sure the morel pros will poop their pants from eating too many. Until then I'll just be a consumer of the easier to find (and afford) variety. They are yummy enough for me.

Oh Balderdash ! If you think morels are noticably better tasting then there's a fart in your brain.

Probably the best advise ever. Or just drop 4.00 on a bucket of portabella's and spend the rest of the day doing something else you enjoy more than looking for a wine cork in a wood chipper. 🤣

One of these would be cool.

Awe it's ok, I'll live with it awhile longer. If you text me though, and I don't respond for awhile, I probably thought the "ding" was just another pollen alert.

It's an Evinrude....all parts are available. https://www.marineengine.com/parts/johnson-evinrude-accessories/index.php?year=1996&model=Remote+Control+1996&section=Remote+Control+-+Side+Mount+-+Key+Switch&yid=34048&mid=34054&sid=39139 Something wasn't synced proper, or it wouldn't have broke. Be sure to do it RIGHT after it's fixed/replaced. 😊

I'll be so glad when this fashion fad peters out. So tired of guys whipping in fresh off the lake with "Hey Wrench how's it going?" And I'm like ...Going good! Who the hell are you? The REAL Spiderman or an imposter? Sing a song and I'll try to guess. Seems to be 2 types now. The guys with full body cover ink who wear nothing but a pair of shorts, and the guys who walk around fully covered like a raped Muslim chick.
