  1. KC, Holy crap man, you coulda been raped! Good thing someone tossed them a ball ! LMAO
  2. And another thing ; Everyone is just assuming that there were no CCW folks in the theater when the Joker surfaced. Odds are there was a dozen+ of them in there within range of the freak, so why was there no savior heros? Yeah yeah, I know.... "If YOU had been there ....." Pffft ! Well sure, I mean hopefully a CCW permitted and armed citizen doesn't PURPOSELY shoot an innocent bystander. So now there's an "Ooops" clause, right?
  3. Technically, yeah. I think in all 3 incidenta a CCW carrier mishandled his/her "weapon", and somehow it was concidered a no-fault accident. This I am assuming because no charges were filed. My point (regardless) is.... Nobody has been saved recently, if ever. Yet several have been harmed. So you supposedly carry to protect yourself, but increase the risk of harm to innocent folks nearby in doing so? Regardless of how awesome you are, if you carry 24/7/365 then the odds that you'll slip up in some way are increasing as time goes on. The first month that I owned a high dollar smart phone I never dropped it or misplaced it...... but now that carrying it has become routine (even during long periods of not needing it) I find that it gets dropped and abused more frequently. It's just human nature for y'all to eventually treat your "weapons" like you treat your cell phones. You carry it day after day, every day and tou expect me to believe that you will never ever become pre-occupied with anything else and take your focus away from that loaded firearm? Horse S#!t !
  4. Love the closing statement. LOL
  5. Well there has been at least 3 shooting incidents in the last 10 months here in Mo. that have been in the news. Remember? ( two of them were in church and one was either in a elevator or on a staircase somewhere. So how'd those escape the tally?
  6. Definatly ! To this day there has probably been more CCW shooting accidents (citizens injured or possibly killed) than there has been "lives saved" by CCW carriers. I haven't actually researched the statistics but I bet that is an accurate guess. I don't care if you are ex-cop/ex-military or ex-wtfever.....that whole "I pack heat everywhere I go" mentality is a bigtime type D personality thinking error. IMO of course.
  7. To quote Bill Hicks.... "There's a WAR going on, and people on drugs are winning it. What's that tell ya"?
  8. Anytime JR, give a shout if you get close and have some time to kill.
  9. Some good sized ones have been following the shad to the surface in the evenings. Following the schools of 2"shad and suspending a jig 3-4ft. under a bobber might work, but tossing small jigging spoons into the schools is a quicker way to get a few decent ones before it gets dark. Seems to only last about 45 minutes, but might last longer on a calm cloudy day if we were to get one. Other than that, there are tons of dinks in the deep brushpiles and along bluffs like always. That's all I got..... Good luck if ya go.
  10. You're a tad bit mis-informed, I've watched them throw frisbee, win repeatedly at Horseshoes, and ride moto-X with extreme precision. A true addict is only slow and sluggish when he/she is "crashing". The dung turns 59 year old couch potatoes into 23 y/o atheletes. Why do you think so many people get hooked on it?
  11. Good Gawd-Almighty! I've seen that boat before
  12. Extremely thin! It's what outboard powerheads are strapped to pallets with. Tow strap garfly:
  13. Y'all want some of this ?
  14. Guys! I was mistaken. Truman is currently 704.6 Wanna know what the lake level was on Aug.20 2011 (last year) ? It was exactly the same, 704.6 November (deer season) 2011 it got down to 704.1 or thereabouts.
  15. LOL, Yeah it's only 6 inches lower than it was this time last year.
  16. Sssshhtt ! Careful now, we've already had one guy damnear arrested for conspiracy to commit a crime.
  17. I guess I've never "camped" where I felt that was a problem. We leave all sorts of valuables unguarded when we camp and the only thing I can ever remember being vandalized was food items, by critters.
  18. For creeks I think it's hard to beat a 1/8 Strike King Bitsy bug jig with a Zoom Lil'critter craw trailer. Pitch it close to cover (or in the cover) and let if fall on a semi-tight line. Most times if a fish is there it won't hit the bottom, but if it does give it a slow drag, then a hop. No bite? Crank it in.
  19. Well sure, if you pull a truck out of a ditch with it it might stretch a bit before it snaps, but your not gonna stretch one while it's hooked up between the outboard shift linkage and control box.....other things will give first. Control cables both push and pull...... why do we never hear of them "being compressed" ? Next time you are faced with a cable that you think might be "stretched" go ahead and pull that core out and measure it. If you bring me a stretched one I'll buy you lunch.
  20. Shouldn't be any racheting in Neutral. If you can't adjust the cable barrel to get a clean Neutral while still getting a solid shift to F&R then you'll need to have it checked out and fixed right. Could be a worn shift cam or broken detent in the control box, or the bearing carrier in the lower unit walking out. Shift/throttle cables do not "stretch" (I hear that all the time..... Not sure where that "diagnosis" ever came from, but it's BS). LOL Don't just let it go though cuz it's probably wearing your shift clutch down pretty good while going down the highway.
  21. Herons are such inexperienced partiers and they don't know their limits. He probably spent all weekend doing tequila shooters and bong hits and the Monday morning hangover just got the best of him. Frikken lightweights.... happens all the time.
  22. Is there a shortage of them in China? Are their waters so polluted that even Asian carp can't flourish? Sounds like the end of unemployed Americans if so. What methods are legal to capture them and transport to the plant ?
  23. Are you 100% legal being there in the first place? I ask because you said it was your "local haunt", which could technically be trespassing. If it isn't a well traveled public stream then you might be causing yourself more problems than you are the dude with the bobcat. Odds are "Bobcat man" owns the property you stood on and that phone call could mean you'll not be fishing there anymore.
  24. Oh for crying out loud..... Somebody PLEASE inquire about his special lure so he can get on with his life. AA, Dude you're a piece o work, how old are you? You should have a flag on your avatar.
