That's because they didn't get it right up front. There are thousands of shared wells in Missouri.

Nothing wrong with a shared well. You and the well owner should work something out now for repairs when it happens - which it will someday sooner or later. If it was me, I'd be kicking in for the electricity too. Sure it's not a lot, but I'm funny about wanting to always pay my way.

Running water at the cabin will be a nice plus.

Not many shad in that gullet.

What the heck ever happened to Pete?

345,00 on a Chevy so you go buy a Ford.???? And for certain, pickups are a lot bigger than they used to be. Colorado is close to what a 1970 1/2 ton Chevy was like. Good luck with a nice looking new ride.

You got me.😵

How much room can a few hooks, maybe a swivel or two and some no roll weights take up anyway???

We had 2.22" at my house that's a few miles east and north of Ozark. Most of it before midnight. Finley is bank full, muddy and lots of trash.

Thanks, I'll try to get something figured out before it's getting close to hatching time. I've got a carport that the birds hang out in now. They like to kick up gravel on the lawnmowers and sit on the tiller. I can fix her up with a covered 4'x4' dog exercise pen, a nest box and food and water under there. It's on the north side of the shop and well out of the weather. So that should work right? The next question is should that move happen soon or closer to hatching time assuming she stays on the nest? Any tips on moving her and the eggs/nest? I'm thinking take her off the nest, move to her new home then move the nest and eggs intact into a new box to then put in with her?

The speckled sussex hen is in the family way. Sitting on five eggs for the last few days with only a few minutes break to get a drink and something to eat. Assuming she succeeds in hatching any is there anything special needed? Chickens have been making chicks on their own for quite a while now so wondering if any assistance will be needed. Thanks for any advice from our chicken experts. Google says just wait if she's eating and drinking which she is. And she will take care of them after they hatch, I just need to keep chick starter and water where chicks can get to it. Sounds almost too easy. Is it? How do they get in and out of the chicken house and the nest box, which is well above the wire mesh floor of the house?

If you were able to get private messages you could have had a ride to Bennett yesterday to watch the festivities and somebody to have breakfast with. I tried to message both of your persona's on here but nope. Maybe another time.

It's pretty easy to get jaded about catching hatchery trout. And maybe moreso in the parks. But just watching people enjoy it is "refreshing ". Especially seeing the dad herding six kids fishing off the whistle bridge. But he had a system with a bucket for each kid and it was working. Suffice to say it is a good morning. 👍

It's still dark. The place is overrun with people getting ready to fish. There are nearly as many cops as fishermen. Cameras aren't exactly scarce either. The dining lodge opens at 7.

He asked about bait areas in the park. But I see your point about it pretty well rules out sucker fishing there at Baptist Camp.

yes

Go to the Baptist Camp access is my suggestion.

I frequented Bennett back when Heck was a pup. I always bought black and yellow jigs at Weaver's. And kept my reels spooled with fresh 3 lb Dai Riki. Ate trout for breakfast up in the campground. Good memories.

I dearly love a good muffaletta. With extra olive salad of course.👍 That one looks great.

We've got eggs running out our ears so I decided to do something about it. Bacon, cheese and onion quiche sounded good so I made one. That's a pre-made Pillsbury crust that I naked baked to start with. It's a five egg quiche with three slices of crispy fried bacon, carmelized onions, and the cheese medley that's in the picture. Didn't have any half and half so used about 1/3 cup of sour cream and same amount of milk. Those free range eggs sure are colorful and they do taste better than the store kind if you ask me. Baked at 400 for about 18 minutes, foil guard around the upper crust halfway through. It turned out pretty good.😎

They will never look up through ice thicker than a window pane is how I learned it back when I was still learning about spring.

There's a lot of dead and stinking skunks littering the roads. Another sure sign of spring.

I learned a long time ago I don't want to do business with anyone who's not making a fair profit. Neither side of a transaction that's not fair is likely to ever go away happy.

Dogs are in the end dogs. It's more my fault than hers for being a dog, you're right.

Chicken killers live a life of jeopardy, often shortened by their chicken killing actions. I admit to sending more than one chicken killer to meet their maker so they can apologize and try to live a better life the next time around the cycle. I love my dogs. But they need to behave. Killing chicks or chickens is not behaving.
