It will be a good multi purpose boat. I have a similar Mad River, Legend 15. Perfect for what I want. Most use is solo fishing day trips. Second most is for solo overnighters - loaded to the max. Least use - tandem day trips. It works for all three. You won't be sorry about buying a Royalex boat either, it's lighter than the poly boats that are taking it's place in the canoe manufacturing world, every bit as durable if not more, and much more easily repaired if it ever comes to that. Skid plates on the bow and stern also stick without any need for special preparation (i.e. partially melting the boat to get the glue to stick). GO for it.

Great to hear. We are coming to Stockton this weekend with the same set up and intentions! Going to camp at Mutton Creek. If I can get the grandkids on something like that I will become one step closer to being one of the immortals.

Follow up to the smoked pickled eggs subject. Those pickled onions (the artisanal ones) are really something special on a burger from the grill. Just FYI.

That's really weird but it takes all kinds.

The Meyer Center is on South National in Springfield. 417 269 3282.

The Meyer Center (Cox Health) is having a beginner Kayak class in their pool if that's the kind of thing you are interested in.

Young people have been taking the world to hell on a bobsled since the days of Aristotle.

you are not the average guy. kudos de maximus

I am hurt that nobody was worried about me wacky rigging Jason. Or through the lips.

PM me. The onion was incredible. Tasted like really good French Onion Soup.

Good advice. RIP Richard, stay after them.

Me: "I went fishing with my buddy Jason last week, caught a nice one with him." Bill: "Wacky rigged or just through the lips?"

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.
