  1. I've never fished the Spring River. Going to fix that this summer.
  2. Some people's time is more important than other people's. You see it all the time when one lane is closed and everybody has to merge. Except Mr. Special who has to get to the front and then squeeze in.
  3. Best photo of a knife I've ever taken.
  4. The Beverly Hillbillies never gave up on their cement pond either. Jed liked fishing there because the fish never bothered him. Nothing better than sledding with the kids!
  5. Water pump can be a real PITA to replace. Bet your son was glad for some help.
  6. Sitting in a blind during falling weather is deluxe.
  7. Gosh, that makes me so sorry I stayed inside and dry and warm and had beans and cornbread and NFL wild card weekend games. I absolutely hate doing anything outdoors in the rain. But I'm glad somebody made you do it. Hope you and Eric had a good time.
  8. Anybody fishing snowmageddon around here needed a good rainsuit for certain. Wet snow all day. Good part is it only stuck on the grass and really not much there either. Pictures would be nice, people.
  9. They're very nice and not at all expensive.
  10. I've had that knife about 35 years. Marine Corps buddy gave it to me - with my name engraved on the blade. 😎 And no, my name is not Opinel France.
  11. Let's all be nice please.
  12. That gets seeds spread around. Growing out of a crack in solid rock takes some ability.
  13. Plus a lot of trees survive wild fires, especially here in the midwest with our deciduous forests. The little stuff not so much, which is why controlled burns work. And on glades, there's not a lot of growth to get what you could ever call a raging forest fire going.
  14. Great Northern beans cooked with a smoked hock and a handful of Burger's ham, an onion, a few baby carrots and some celery. Like the beans and other stuff really done and want it kind of soupy. The cornbread is good old standby Jiffy with a tablespoon of added honey and about a tablespoon of chopped jalapenos. Bake it in a #5 Wagner cast iron skillet that is hot enough to smoke oil when the batter goes in - makes a nice crisp bottom and sides.
  15. That wind is piling it up!
  16. Saturday is going to be beans, cornbread and football day around here. I was cold once and I didn't like it.
  17. There were 705 kids out of school with Covid today in small town Nevada. And over 60 teachers. To say it's rampant is not an overstatement. Most of our Nevada family members have active Covid right now. All but the ones that are too young have been vaccinated but not boosted. Here's hoping they all stay out of the hospital, that part of the hokey pokey still is a big deal if you ask me.
  18. Survivors they are. They remember that day, it shows. I have a leaf from the Linden that survived the Oklahoma City bombing. Trees with a history fascinate me.
  19. I drove past it again twice today and appreciated it still.
  20. Glad to hear it. You're a tough old bird and we all know it.
  21. I'm looking on Amazon for a new electric heater for Pete's bathtub to help him test GFI.
  22. I do not like GFI breakers. When they start tripping it's hard to know if the breaker is at fault or if there is a problem somewhere on the circuit and if so, where. If this were my problem, the GFI breaker would be gone in favor of a regular breaker and GFI outlets where I felt they were needed.
  23. Back legs would work too.
  24. For max distance, try holding the cat by the tail and whirling around like a hammer thrower. Three twirls is about right.
