What a week that one was. Do not need a repeat soon.

I hear a few people talk about going ahead and cleaning the slot fish. Good for you!

I specialize in not being helpful.

Its not Dodge City in the 1880's anymore and none of us are Duelin' Daltons.

Drying out next week. Can't wait for some sunshine and a little humidity detox. We will all be dripping.

I could explain it to you but that would be best done over coffee.

Crane Creek is my favorite place for cottonmouth viewing too. It's awesome snake country. The only place I've ever seen more water moccasins is on Beaver Creek.

Me, I do, I remember. One simple thing that has changed is instead of kids eating last and getting a back or a neck when there was fried chicken, now they get served first and what they want. It's a little thing but I think it teaches that "me first" something at a very early age that tends to carry on through life.

Women love me, especially when I cook. A great meal and a good bottle of wine has always been a panty dropper. You must be doing something wrong. Maybe posting drunk at midnight and having such a sour attitude has something to do with it?

How far would have been far enough?

More or less peacefully. He crawled off once but a little persuasion with a piece of plastic pipe and he crawled right back on.

First rattlesnake I've ever seen in Missouri myself. My grandson who lives in Arkansas was bitten by one of those on his little toe when he was about five. Had a hell of a time getting well from it, his toe is still deformed. I have heard their venom is very toxic.

This little one was crawling around this morning. One of the guys about stepped on him. He's off in the woods behind the shop now. Some folks want to kill every snake there is, especially venomous ones (which this little guy is - Pygmy Rattlesnake) but that's not me. So I just tossed him over the fence, hopefully to never be seen by any of us again.

Sure, go ahead and laugh. Then drive through Bona. You'll know what I'm talking about then.

I would not hire a lawyer to let me pick up a trailer that I owned and had a title on. I would just go and get it and take it home or to some other campground. Don't take a gun but do ask a deputy to accompany you. Take your title with you too, then there won't be any question about who owns what. BTW, what is it with so many people thinking that a gun is going to help settle a disagreement anyway? At the ramp, on the water, over a trailer, give me a break. None of that crap short of someone threatening YOUR life is gun worthy. And even then I like to think I'm smart enough to avoid those situations. 63 years old, USMC veteran so definitely not an anti gunner person at all and never felt the need to pull a gun on anybody yet. Honestly if gives me the creeps when someone suggests it for something that isn't anything like a real threat situation. Think people, think. With your head.

Flooding. Probably not, more rain headed this way through maybe Thursday.

Yes indeed, big time rain and it looks to be far from over.

Hats on backwards, otherwise you got it covered.

Love that river, I need to get down there again. Glad you had a good day with your son.

I can back a boat trailer or travel trailer or semi trailer into just about any little old spot there is. but put four wheels and a tongue on it and I get the heebie jeebies. Still have my moments with level wind reels. But Lovey says I am the best kisser in the whole wide world. So who am I to argue?

I don't see where adding appendages would add anything to something like that thing anyway. It's not a popping bug or similar.

Or worse?

Everybody has a first time. At just about everything I can think of. You guys should have seen the first time I tried to cast that Daiwa Millionaire back in 1973. And the first time I tried to back a hay wagon into the barn in 1967. And the first time I tried to kiss that girl in the movies back in 1964. Only one of those turned out OK.

We caught very few smallmouth between Greer and Riverton earlier this year. But the trout fishing was very very good. That's a pretty long two day float fishing in paddle craft if you ask me. We did it in a Shawnee with a 9.9 and piddled around and fished a lot. Perfect two day deal that way. Don't get me wrong, totally do-able just more than I care for.

I'm with you ness, don't care for chard either. And one of the nastiest things I've had in my mouth lately was a sample of siricha kale chips that some old hippie was peddling at the farmer's market. My expression said it all as his comment after watching me taste it was "they're not for everybody".
