Those are some nice ones!

I crossed Kings today and it looked perfect. A little high but still super clear.

Bourbon on the rocks. Two fingers and three cubes. It's Evan Williams Green. My current favorite, recommended by another internet friend.

Maybe after the next rain. Next week looks a lot better weather for everything.

zen master. We really are all connected, like it or not.

One has to make do sometimes. I have that same exact lid. Revere ware. Classic stuff. Good sauce pans but like you, prefer non-stick skillets. Cast iron for certain things, but usually non-stick for me. Chef's brand is a favorite but I don't think still available. What are the green things? Pickle?

giblets = liver, gizzard, heart turkey fries = testicles

Professional whiner in my opinion. I've tried to like his stuff and just can't seem to do it.

Giblets are what they will be labeled in a proper butcher shop.

Adios amigo.

That or find a HIPO who fishes and will help a brother out. It worked out OK for me one time like that. Or pay an attorney. There is always a way. Sometimes but not always it means $$$.

Ask your attorney.

That's a sword that cuts both ways.

Pretty bad.

Not the same kind of scenery, but predictably good water and fishing. NFS campsites accessible only by river are very handy indeed.

I just really enjoyed this. Hope a few of you do too.

26 forecast for Monday morning. How do you like me now?

I do not eat tilapia.

Believe it or not, lake water quality is a complicated issue. The science is expensive, never complete and as always in our world, there are competing interests. Plus it's really easy to hate on regulators and regulations that cost money with results that may not be easily quantifiable. There are a lot of people working very hard to protect our SWMO waters. Water quality protection has been my life's work. Two things worry me the most. Ever increasing population and the inevitable pressures people put on water. And politicians who are more interested in getting elected the next time up than doing the right thing. IMHO, the higher up the ladder you go, the bigger the latter problem becomes.

Table Rock Lake is on the 303 (d) impaired waters list due to nutrients causing plant growth and eutrophication. Chlorophyll a, Nitrogen and eutrophication indicators are all listed. The effect is to make it practically impossible to get a new or larger capacity NPDES permit on TRL.

Green beans and new potatoes seasoned with bacon and onion. Peanut butter and apricot jam sandwich on whole wheat toast. Glass of cold milk and Cardinals mashing the Reds. Not that bad for a medium stormy April evening.

I hear it all the time. It's not a perfect solution so why bother. Perfect should never be the enemy of good. Or especially better.

I don't think bass are so instantly adaptable as a population as to change their feeding habits due to a recent pressure. No species is. Fishermen on the other hand probably are capable of learning to chase and catch fish now where previously they had no idea a significant population lived, fed, and could be caught. This from a guy who remembers when electronics had a dial, flashing red lights to show bottom and structure fishing was revolutionary.

I like real martinis too. 10-4 on shaken. That's how they get really cold. The martini glass has to be chilled too. The cocktail that a dash of bitters really improves is an honest to pete margarita. All honest to pete margaritas are made with either Cointreau or Grand Marnier. Not triple sec.

You can. Just put the return address of who you want to get the mail and drop it in the box no stamp required. They might have to pay but that's beside the point. It works too. One year I sent brother in law one of those sample Christmas cards they send to advertise personalized cards. The note inside mentioned that it had been a little tight lately and I hoped he understood that we needed to cut back wherever we could.
