Guessing you wouldn't want to put in about 4:00 AM on a windy December morning then? Even to shoot a few ducks?

Was that fairly close to St. Louis?

When I lived in Jefferson City we fished the Missouri a lot targeting flatheads and secondary, blues. I used throw lines - 30' or so main line, 5 x 18" drops with big circle hooks. Window weight on the river end. Piece of inner tube at the top of the main line really helps. My favorite bait was live carp that we bought at Taberville. Had a great homemade bait tank. Kept stuff alive very well. We would try to go during the dark of the moon in June. Caught a lot of nice ones. Carried and used a really big net and a 4' gaff. Really big ones (30+) the gaff is the deal. Quick and very certain. The Missouri is a very underutilized resource. Duck hunted it a lot too. Had the right boat for it 18'6" x 54 semi-vee with 50 HP Yamaha with tilt and trim. Nice post, brought back some good memories that involve a dear friend who I lost a few years ago to cancer. Thanks!

College doesn't make you smarter, but it can make you better educated and able to understand things that absent education you wouldn't have a clue. Organic chemistry for an example. Microbiology for another, examples are TNTC.

I don't care for the crude and crass stuff a bit. But that's not my real problem with him. It's not even how self centered he obviously is. There are much more substantive problems that we've discussed and just don't see the same way. And my real point is I'd rather see things with my own eyes and make up my own mind. Not hear what Wolf Blitzer or Tucker Carlson think is the deal. I watched the Kavanaugh hearings live. I watched the impeachment testimony live. I watched the impeachment hearings in the Senate live. I've watched nearly every corona virus task force report live. I've watched nearly every DJT press conference live. I'm watching the Senate hearings live right now. No MSM filters. That's how to do it if you have the time. Not get some boiled down 2 minute take on the 6 o'clock news.

I watched dear leader live today. I'll take my takes personally thanks.

Can you imagine how fast those kids will be able to run that maze after a week or two?

You better let us all know right after the wife!

Maybe put up a quickie electric fence with the step in posts, one line low, one line high and then make them make you take it down? Heck, claim it's a maze game for the neighbor kids. Hey! Good idea Rick! That'll learn the little bastages anyway.... Most POA bark is worse than the bite. Who's going to see it and be offended other than the POA goodie two shoes anyway?

You won't drive and let potential buyer do a ride along?

Wood and ashes are enough of a mess in the house that I gave up heating with wood long ago. Now I have ground source heat pump. It's the best there is if you ask me.

I was able to deter deer with electric fence.

I'm good with changing the bet to who cooks! We need to put an in jail by ______ addendum as well. You can fill in the blank. What are you going to fix?

Sorry if I got under your skin a little. I believe there is a trust issue and an anti intellectual movement. They're certainly non-exclusive.

To each his own 😎 You are going to have to refresh my memory. I'm like a goose and wake up in a new world every day.

There is indeed. If I have to teach you this, it's a problem. Look at the anti vaxxers for just one good example. Don't wear blinders.

I wish I had graduated last in my class at Annapolis. Which would have meant that I got in. Same way with med school, law school, every engineering school and so on. This whole anti-intellectual anti-science anti education thing is totally disgusting and very telling regarding its adherents.

Those were the best watermelons back when I was a kid and mom worked around truckers that hauled produce, grain and what have you. The sweet corn was pretty good too.

Come on man. You're a smart guy and you like Tucker Carlson??????

Tongue weight on an aluminum boat will be less than 200 lbs. unless it is some kind of monster. New or used? How much do you want to spend? One of my goals in life that I doubt I will ever achieve is actually wearing out a decent boat/motor/trailer combo that's reasonably well taken care of.

So. I'm guessing you've filed a few or many suits, briefs and so on and have a briefcase full of of experience with being plaintiff and/or defendant, You made no point. None. Not one point.

So let me get this straight. His business is going down the tubes and he's ignoring the Greene County Health Department for youth baseball? Irresponsible doesn't quite cover it if you ask me. 2+2 =/= 4 in this deal.

His dad the rebel who works for the gubbment.

I've heard it said a lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client. Might also be true for a boat mechanic/doctor.

Heavy frost here. Skim of ice on the bird bath. Going to wait another hour or so to uncover.
