I've said this before: Everything is everywhere. Detection limits keep getting lower and lower so we just keep finding more stuff in more places. The question then becomes at what level does a toxin - any toxin - affect someone or something that's exposed to it. From consumption or otherwise. That aspect is not mentioned at all in the article. The article is talking about the chemicals cited at the parts per trillion level. And those are declining if the information is accurate and there is enough data to be statistically significant. And the levels of chemicals cited are also declining in water due to them not being used as much if at all now. Personally, I'm like Jeff and probably most others on here. I don't sweat it at all.

Lovey suggested we go to Rim Shoals for a couple of days. And by gum, what Lovey wants, Lovey gets. More to follow.

I always thought "Ain't Superstitious" to be the quintessential Jeff Beck. Yeah I know it's a cover but still...

If I had a surf rod I'd have closed a door on it by now.

I don't do cute burgers. Normally just a hamburger patty, bun, onion, tomato, pickles, mustard and ketchup. Sometimes cheese. B29 does a great mushroom swiss burger which is as cute as it gets for me.

A breakfast pizza. The crust has smoked gouda on it - from a lady at the farmers market yesterday. The lemon basil pesto was also a find there. The rest is scrambled eggs from the back yard, red onion, cherry tomatoes (they're good) and mexican cheese. Cooked it mostly on a preheated stone with maybe the last three minutes directly on the rack. It's really good with a nice crispy bottom and super flavorful toppings. Kudos to Lovey on this one.

It takes a special kind of guy to be able to make a pervert snowman/lady.🙃

You earned it. Enjoy every bite.

Firp and Burp made the same quality burger and suzie Q french fries. Firp and Bob ran the White Grill together until the other place opened. I have a story from there and the way back machine that's never going to be posted on the internet, but I'll tell you sometime face to face only.

I've mostly given up on fast food burgers. As often as not I get a stomach ache after having one. Here in Ozark, Cafe B-29 is THE place for a proper hamburger. In Springfield, Bairs will fix you a good one - as dolled up as you want it, though I'm not that type. House cut thick fries cooked right too. Black Sheep in SGF is top shelf. And the Black Sheep french fries are truly world class. I'm from Nevada and the White Grill double cheeseburger with grilled onions, tomato and pickle w. mustard and ketchup remains the gold standard.

RIP Patlock.

I've also found all of the mentioned heirlooms except oxheart at Lowes. Mansfield is a great day trip for me - love that Baker Creek place - they have a festival in spring with live music, food and a lot of other vendors. This year it's May 14 and 15. Here's a link: Spring Planting Festival May 14-15 (rareseeds.com). Big fun for sure. You should make the trip.

Yeah, Freddy's is a thing here too. They are not the usual fast food burger agreed.

Cherokee Purple, Oxheart, Brandywine and Mortgage Lifter have all been good to me. I never did them from seeds, get the starts from Baker Creek in Mansfield. You can get seeds there too if that's your thing.

In general, heirlooms will bear longer and not flood you with a shipload of tomatoes all at once like most hybrids. And I think heirlooms are better tasting.

I just ate my first ever What A Burger for lunch. It will be my last. Talk about a nothing special over hyped fast food hamburger. I read that people drove from hours away and got in line for them at 5:00 AM when they first opened here. Now that's having nothing to do. Most fast food burgers fit the same mold of being something to eat to keep from going hungry - but of them all I'll take Wendy's. Carry on.

We had a Rogue that had a lot of problems. Traded it in on a Jeep Renegade that we like and has been trouble free. The Renegade feels like a much larger vehicle and is much more comfortable than the Rogue, which we wound up totally losing faith in after the entire exhaust system had to be replaced with only 30K miles on it. Seemed like it was always something with that car. Nonetheless good luck with yours.

All bearings can fail.

Dean's covers shed rain and snow pretty well. I'm sure you could have them make one with higher and more supports to put even more pitch on the cover to shed snow better. The material itself is very tough and weather resistant.

Dean's covers fit perfect as they are made one at a time to fit your boat with your seats, motor and equipment. They travel perfect and mine is holding up very well.

My boat has a plywood floor and I need to be able to choose when the studs are on.

Simms with zero doubt in my mind. I normally wear a 12 1/2 or 13 shoe, the size 13 Simms are perfect with medium weight socks and stockingfoot waders. I am old - about like you - and do not want to fall and break anything on wet slick rocks, especially on a jetty. The Korkers - or something studded - are also zero doubt the solution to that problem at least in my mind. Those studs just don't slip on rocks. They're good, real good. I've never had a problem with mine coming off or getting loose but have read of using duct tape to further secure them to your boots. They do make them in other than strap on options. You can tell I clean my stuff up before I put it away.😎 Things seem to last longer that way...
