Company's coming: An old classic appetizer - brick of philly, jar of Heinz chili sauce and a can of lump crab, Ritz crackers Main: leg quarters rubbed with Head Country dry seasoning. Done on the egg of course. black bean and corn salad with onion and cilantro. Agave for sweetener and red wine vinegar to set it off. green salad. not from a bag. Dessert: An honest to pete homemade apple pie - Granny Smith apples of course. And a lattice crust, the way God and Grandma Dot intended it.

Nicely done Sir! Of all the people I know, I cannot think of anyone more deserving.

I have fifteen doves in the crockpot right now. S&P and a little Head Country on the breasts, then in the crockpot. They're braising in a cup of Sweet Baby Ray's original and a cup of root beer. The smell is intriguing to say the least. When we're ready to eat, I'll take the dove breasts out of the crockpot, put them on some parchment paper on a cookie sheet, brush with some more BBQ sauce and brown them under the broiler. Sides will be baked sweet potato, green salad and corn on the cob. I'm hopeful. It was really hard not to do bacon wrapped dove jalapeno poppers. But I'm trying to climb out of a rut. edit: I cook corn on the cob fully immersed, not steamed. Add about a tbsp. of salt, tbsp. of sugar and 1/2 cup of milk to the boiling liquid. Does anyone else do similar? 2nd edit: I got a monkey jones on my back. Serious wonder about what BH sauce would do.....

That would be a very nice tackle box gun. Fair price too. Good luck on the sale.

Could not happen to a nicer man. Heartiest congratulations Bill Babler. Sorry you lost the fish but it's clear you gave it your all.

High praise from any fat woman.

Water patrol on Mark Twain lake actually wrote me a ticket for improper spacing on the letters on my boat - after getting checked for everything else and all OK. I thought that was a little over the top, and it has colored my view of the water patrol ever since. This occurred in the late '80's so you guys that don't think I can remember anything are wrong!

Nice trip and report. Thanks for putting it up.

Grandfathering boat operators based on birth date makes no sense at all to me. Same way with hunter safety.

Yeah it's been real pretty the last couple of nights. Glad you all did well. As to what's wrong with people..... heck if I know. Didn't get raised right or something is my only guess, but even that's not 100%. I've got 2 kids and they are night and day, raised in the same house with the same parents.

Murfin's Market fried chicken; Reece cole slaw, Reece redskin potato salad; Jamisons to drink. What a day. Another one for the so called retired guy. I actually cannot even stand the thought of food yet.

This has been the most insanely busy spring and summer for a so called retired guy.

Ribeye, baked sweet potato, cucumber and onion salad and sliced tomato.

What are you supposed to do when your truck breaks down? Sorry but you are FOS.

Most land is owned to the center of the roads that border it. Without the no parking signs, people could go to the bridge and drag a boat to or from the river. My comment stands. We own the rivers, but we can't access them. Which stinks to high heaven. Wasn't that way then and should not be that way today.

How's your wing old man?

There are few places to access the Finley in Christian County. Partiers, Sheriff who won't do the job to control them and County Commission who folds and puts up no parking signs for a half mile on both sides of the road in both directions from nearly every bridge.

So he's a wounded bird, an eagle who can only fly in circles? That's no excuse.

Did you get that boat yet? What are you anyway? A man or a mouse?

Tilley, Sombrero, Straw Hat, anything but one of those things.

One piece of camping gear gets my 100% recommendation: Eureka Timberline 4 person. Best one or two person tent ever.

Nice job both of you. And no joking, that is one fine net.

My guess would be impurities in the aluminum. As you know from all your boats, it normally just lasts forever no matter what.

Yeah me too. Even Devil's Pool was good back when Heck was a pup. Hemingway's just ain't the same either..
