To me it's too soon for this weather. The sensor is hanging in the shade up at the shop.

Anything coming up yet?

Daryk, sorry for the sidetrack on your thread. That canoe is dead nuts beautiful. Can't wait to see it on the water and hear about how it handles.

If you recall Horace was Nash Buckingham's man servant. And that was me on the Conservation Cafe. Mostly in the waterfowling bits. Horace could have a smart mouth given the opportunity.

You wouldn't remember Horace would you?

Aww come on. Give it up.

Welcome aboard.

Brand new not even one cast 6'6" LF St. Croix premier with Pflueger President in the above mentioned event. I actually waded around looking for it. For about two minutes.

I got instantly dumped from my super good Mad River a few years back on NFOW. Windy day in April, one too many casts in a riffle that took me sideways into a big wind. I could have used tertiary stability then.... because me.

^^ Way to go Griz, I'm proud of you.

Pending sale @ full price after less than 24 hours on FB Marketplace. Thank you all for looking.

Never figured Bill Babler for having a thin skin. But whatever. Have fun at pickleball and remember: "Illegitimi Non Carborundum"

Served warm

Ness - Gioias won a James Beard award if that means anything to you. When they say "salami" it's house made and unlike any other salami I've ever had. It's not particularly spicy - but the texture, flavor and the way they put together a sandwich is pretty special.

Italian food is really all I miss about living in St. Charles and working downtown STL. And I DO miss it.

Amighetti is a darn good sandwich too.

Thanks again to the usual suspects for getting another thread locked. Sincerely, your beloved moderator.

I was offered an aortic aneurysm screening at the checkup. I took a pass because a rupture there is about the easiest way to leave this Earthly plane. Chronic illness is different than a quick checkout.

You should know by now how much cheaper it is to keep someone healthy than it is to treat disease. Case in point. My first endoscopy showed five stomach ulcers and four polyps. Got the polyps removed with no problems then or until now. I do cologuard now. The ulcers were another matter. A bleeding ulcer is no laughing matter. Up until I knew the deal I ate rolaids by the handful and drank baking soda in water several times a day. Neither of which did anything except mask the symptoms. I now take an over the counter prilosec every day. No heartburn and no ulcers either. So go ahead and thank me now for keeping myself from becoming a burden to society by needing emergency surgery for a bleeding ulcer. A pill a day man. One pill a day. I'm just one example.

I just had my annual wellness check/physical. Other than my ortho issues which are healing up, It appears I'm in good health. Sorry Wrench, it's nice to know.

My fishing partner caught two nurse sharks while we were tarpon fishing in the Keys. Boring.

My two tomato plants are exactly the opposite. Bushy as all get out, loaded with tomatoes and only one vine tied to the trellis.

Small or reasonable? Remember, you get what you pay for.

As fine of a day I ever spent on Table Rock Lake was with you and grandsons on a graduation present fishing trip. I got to know you better at a couple of jigfests. The name I have for you is friend.

In a boat. With the rod right in front of me resting on the rail. A proud moment.
