Poor folks has got poor ways. Cored Vidalia, stuffed with blue cheese, butter and a little salt. Twisted up tight and then about 90 minutes at 300. A couple of top quality burgers, zucchini, summer squash and parboiled new potatoes. Fresh picked lettuce and a tomato that tastes right. It's a secret where I get the tomatoes. Ready. Mayo and Heinz 57, my two favorites for a burger. Back in 1970, my DI used to say every day is a holiday and every meal is a banquet. When you have Banquet Beer, who can argue with that?

Lew's Speed Spin and Pflueger President are both good reels. I've also got an Okuma Trio that's right sized for that application. I actually bought it to use fishing for whites and hybrids. All three reels are smooth. The Okuma is a little heavier than the other two. The Okuma has the best drag of the three.

Babe Ruth couldn't have said it any better. Good luck and I'm another one who will most definitely be looking at the video.

Welcome.

While snake bites aren't normally lethal they are nothing to be taken lightly either. You won't ever be sicker faster and getting treatment helps to keep the chances of infection and other tissue damage down.

There's a lake level link at the top of every page that opens in OA. The link is for all the lakes on the White River chain and includes discharges and generation rates from all of the dams. Right now BSD is making 150 MW of power. They can make up to 391, so they are running well under half speed. And they have been shutting it down from there quite a bit. Ran at 25 MW most of the night and scheduled to dial it back again tonight. See for yourself. I expect the flooding on Arkansas River is why they are holding water back in BSL.

Nah, BSD isn't even running water very hard right now. Very tempting to head down there.

Thanks Phil. I looked at the lake levels and releases this morning. I guess the Arkansas river is high enough that BSD is holding back as much as they can.

Like that.

I posted that one for you a while back. Think it was actually on TRL. Not going to search again. Not totally sure it was a "win" but definitely in the money and maybe it was a "win".

You forgot Stabil

RIP Leo Drey, conservationist extraordinaire.

Lagoons are inexpensive to build and operate but they don't do very well at providing a high level of treatment. Like nearly every problem out there, this one will take money to solve and that translates to enough people thinking it's worth it. User rates on the customers of that sewer district would probably need to go up somewhere around $20 per month (or more) to construct and operate a treatment plant that would meet the new ammonia limits that are coming down the pike. Thing is, as I type this, an exemption for lagoons having to meet those limits is in preparation. Due to what? Cost. People just are not willing to pay the price for clean water. Usually.

I've done it, last year actually. Did not care for it, there is a long stretch called "the marble grounds" where the river is wide and flat. Also not a lot of good gravel bars for camping. I prefer Shelvin to McCall.

Big deal, you are a sourpuss. Why do you want us to know?

Joaquin Andujar said it best. "The one word that says it all is you never know."

Now that's a for real snake. Love those black snakes, relocated a couple from my chicken house. Refuse to kill one.

Did I ever tell you guys about the time I motorboated over Highway 71 between Nevada and Rich Hill? That was some real water, trees full of spiders and all kind of weird things going on.

Beaver is at 1129.2 something and top of flood pool is 1130 with more rain in the forecast. Yeah, I'd go along with they will probably be open another couple of days or so.

I have a strong preference for a 48" wide Shawnee.

Okay I am going to give away the secret to some of the best slaw you will ever have. Hendrickson's dressing and the bagged pre-chopped cole slaw mix. No kidding, try it and I guarantee, you will like it, or your money back.

Somehow we missed the flooding rains. Finley is up just a bit and in great condition.

A-holes like that will always be with us. Kind of like ticks and chiggers. Definitely annoying and about as useless.

Manners seem to be going the way of the dinosaur. Too bad for my children and grandchildren who I have taught better.

I noticed.
