  1. Anything above 42° brings out the honey bee's and the faux Lady bugs around here. Some days thick enough that a bat could make a living.
  2. Carb cleaner is my weapon of choice whenever a deadly critter threatens me in the shop. It's good to about 15 feet.
  3. Slicker and lighter, as I understand it....but the only guys I know that think it's the best thing ever are trout/crappie/light-line finessy type wierdos that wear thongs and mini-pads.
  4. Good idea!!!! Let's get Phil pissed at Tyler. Love it!
  5. BTW,. what does FG stand for ? I have a few guesses but even I can't post them here. Furious Glen knot is the only clean one that comes to mind.
  6. Yeah he's a freakin' lurker. Too busy making buzzbaits and trashing my boat to learn how to cuss on here ! 😄. Dude makes a wicked buzzbait though, but he ain't gonna share it with ya until you play maid for him awhile. 😊
  7. He also saves all his jig trimming until we go fishing. Actually his boat is here now. I should go out and dump my shop vac in it.
  8. Ha! Pretty sure he gets a kick out of me bitching about it. 😄
  9. I have to carry a cell phone everywhere I go, be darn if I'm gonna carry a gun everywhere I go also. Maybe this app will give you enough of a diversion to keep you safe......or...then again... it might get you shot by somebody's wife 😕 I guarantee if you point your phone at someone and it sounds like a AR-15 they are gonna duck and run, regardless of how mean they think they are. It worked for the kid in Home Alone 😊
  10. One of my braid using buddies uses some braided looking connection that takes him 20 minutes to tie and litters the floor of my boat with 17 snippets of line everytime he does it.
  11. I'll never forget it. Raemi asked why I kept it and I told her that it reminded me of who my real friends are. Amber had just started college and a few other setbacks had left me completely broke, I think I only had like 16.00 in the bank and it was during the middle of Winter. You, Kevin and Cricket showed up with a bottle of whiskey and a couple of frozen pizza's. We tied flys, got drunk and had lots of laughs (which was a huge stress reliever for me at the time). After y'all left I found the 200.00 in my toilet paper roll that kept the lights on around here until I managed to get back on my feet. 🤗 Raemi asked if she could throw it away and I said "yeah". I don't need that bottle to remind me, I couldn't forget if I wanted to.
  12. I resist the temptation to change line brands/types because my casts are fine and I don't lose fish excessively. If you do though I wish you well in your trials.... which can be rather expensive these days.
  13. Not among my favorites for sure. Our liquor cabinet needed a cleaning/thinning out, and some remnants (like So-Co, Malibu, ect.) just got dumped or thrown away, but the Turkey wasn't so bad as to warrant that so I disposed of it more respectfully. Back in the very back was an empty bottle of Makers with all the plastic torn off the top. 😂
  14. Ya know, Oral sex in fruit bats is a hot area of research. In just four years, the number of studies on this topic has doubled... from one, to two. So when you're trying to catch one in your living room and call it a "(@(#sucker" you are 100% justified.
  15. Just cut & paste it......cuz nobody can spell Hellgrammite properly on the first try. 🙂 I keep trying to spell it like this: L-I-Z-A-R-D ..... and nothing comes up 😶 😁
  16. It isn't my video! I was actually trying to find that bat scene from the Great Outdoors movie and stumbled upon this one. I ended up watching it 3-4 times and it just got funnier each time. I was sipping Wild Turkey (responsibly) at the time so maybe that's why it tickled me so. 😏
  17. This video had me on the floor laughing last night, but nobody else in the house even cracked a smile. So is it funny, or am I just losing my marbles?
  18. Paintball deer hunting would be kinda cool. Each Hunter on that parcel of land could have his own color, so when the deer came in you'd be able to see who all scored each shot. 😎 Plus it might make them easier to see when they are about to cross the road in front of you.
  19. Not too shabby. What did y'all do, relocate them to Coffman or have a fish fry?
  20. Nauseating.
  21. The reservoir under the cowling should never be low. If it is then you have an oil leak or a crankcase air pressure leak. There's no oil level sensor in the main (big) reservoir.
  22. If the one shot lands in the head/face/neck it will. A .22 is cheap enough to shoot ALOT.....which is something that anyone who plans to use it for defense should be doing instead of painting their nails. Set up a bucket full of sand 10 yards from your porch, then catch her off guard sometime by telling her "Put 3 rounds in that bucket NOW" and see how quickly it happens. If it takes longer than 8 seconds then trade her the gun for some nail polish. 😉
  23. There is no audible warning for "low voltage" so I don't know what they are thinking there. Most likely the low oil sensor on the engine mounted reservoir. (4-6 beeps every few minutes). The sensor is built into the reservoir so the fix requires replacing the reservoir and re-purging the O/I system.
  24. If it's primary purpose is to kill someone with then I'd go as cheap as possible, since if it ever gets used you'll have to hand it over to authorities and may never get it back.
  25. The fact that nearly everyone that works maintenance is ALSO a fireman/first responder just goes to show that no matter how many prevention classes you attend there's just no preventing a 3 a.m. blaze.
