Your order has been placed. That's Peep's department......I hope to not have to visit the in-laws between now and then, but if she goes out there she'll score y'all a big bag of them.

My in-laws have one🙄 We're all sick of freeze dried Skittles and assorted Gummies. And I refuse to even try the beef stew.

Whatever it was it brought the shad to the surface and turned the White bass & Hybrids on in a big way ! Best topwater bite I've seen in a LONG time. 👍

There's something in the atmosphere. I thought it was just oil/crud on the road this morning when it started raining. It was like this for 10-12 miles. Then when we got back home my rain gauge looked like this ... It's like soap suds 🤔 Anyone else notice this?

More exciting to fish for ? Browns fight like a channel cat 🙄 At least Rainbows take to the air occasionally.

Not anyone else I know either. This is why I like the older motors....after being completely refreshed of course. 9 times out of 10 using the diagnostic program on the newer computer controlled outboards does NOT solve the problem, and any service done outside that realm is unsupported (not advised & can even void warranty). Today's techs are trained to run computer diagnostics....and if nothing indicates a failure then the protocol is to change spark plugs & fuel filters and consider it "cured". Which would be GREAT if that actually worked.....but it seldom does. 🤷‍♂️

To be honest, if your outboard is one that's subject to sit unused for periods of 4 months or more.....then you REALLY have no business owning a motor equipped with a Vapor separator, Fuel rail, Injectors, Tracker valve, or High pressure fuel pump, Oxygen sensors, and a computer programmed to operate it for the lowest possible emissions. When you bought that thing your MOST IMPORTANT REASON for paying all that extra money.....was to not pollute the environment, right ? 🤔

Alcohol resistant materials have been used in outboard and automotive fuel systems since 1999-2002. A few random things, like injector O-rings, crankshaft/propshaft seals, some hose, and carburetor gaskets remained until 2006.....but after that EVERYTHING made of rubber-type material was redesigned to be alcohol resistant. Nothing made of nylon/rubber/silicone/amphenol/or plastic of any kind will last FOREVER. But certain technicians will continue to blame "ethanol" everytime anything made of those materials fails. It's bull----.🙄 Haven't you ever wondered why you never hear automobile technicians cry about ethanol? It's because they haven't been brainwashed to do so. The Marine service industry needs to let that ---- go ! The only thing I'm aware of that is bad about ethanol blended fuel....is that it has a lower "shelf life". If you buy it.....then you need to burn it up in a reasonable amount of time. And if you believe that "non-ethanol rated fuel" won't turn into horse piss... and eventually shellac....when left to sit for months on end, then either your memory is failing, or you haven't been alive long enough to know better.

Not even near as good. A whip-finish knot is nothing more than a series of half hitches.

Yeah, the knife-fork-spoon thing depends on which hillside you're on I think. It has a one-in-three chance of being accurate. 😉

If you ever studied it with a rope on a rake handle you'd realize that a whip-finish really isn't that great of a knot. Do I know of a better way to finish a fly ? Nope 🙄 And oddly enough it is seldom that one fails. Even without glue. Then again..... neither does about 4-5 half hitches. 🤷‍♂️

My grandma used to make a persimmon cobbler a couple times per year. It was good with a couple scoops of ice cream over it.......but I gotta admit that I don't miss it nearly as bad as some of her other desserts.

It's really fun to sit on the porch and shoot them with a pellet gun 👍😎

The one in my yard is LOADED.

Looks like lots of snow & ice this winter. 😊 We'll see.

Persimmon. They are getting ripe for the eating right now.

Anybody that goes all ga-ga about Brown trout should take the same rod & tackle and start chasing White bass & Hybrid Stripers. Way more plentiful, fight harder, and they are even delicious to eat !

That night that it got down in the 50°s put me into thermal shock. I was about ready to turn the furnace on. One night of cool weather and now everyone in town is taking COVID tests, and buying Theraflu at the local DG. 🙄

Never 🤔😎

I guarantee it will run faster and longer than any 50hp outboard that you can buy BRAND NEW today. And at a fraction of the price. 👍

Manufactured in 1995-96 and sold/titled as NEW in 2002. She's a sweetheart! Fully refreshed and converted anti-VRO👍 With or without controls. Trade offers considered. Installed or we can load it in your truck. Call or text if interested, and we can make it happen immediately.

Completely restored, converted anti-VRO, better than anything you can buy NEW today. With, or without controls. Installed, or loaded into your truck. Trade offers considered. Call or shoot me a text if interested and we can make it happen with a quickness.

Looks darn good 👍 Need to tweak that winch stand 🤔

More than I care to list, but I could probably compile a list of unfavorable things just as long.

The Ruger Mark 3 pistols with any age on them ALWAYS need a mainspring. Everyone was taught not to dry fire them.....so the mainspring gets sloppy/weak from being cocked and in a drawer/cabinet for years & years.
