    So if an automobile or pickup is fine with it, what's the problem with boat motors? Wait, I gotta guess. A tank of fuel that sits unused outdoors during winter and early spring on a lift on a lake (or on a trailer under a cover even worse) for oh, say six months or better. Condensation and so on.

    We're out of power since about 930 this morning. No reports yet on when it will be restored. The generator at least let me brush my teeth and wash my hands and face. Depending on duration it will also save frozen food. Glad to have it.

    We wound up with 6.26 for the last week. Finley was over Riverside Road in Ozark yesterday evening. Not sure if it still is. As usual, there was at least one high water rescue for an idiot driver trying to cross a flooded crossing on the upper James. Those people should get a bill, and a big one.

    Here just east of Ozark we got an inch yesterday and two inches since midnight with more on the way. Wet week it is.

    We have friends with a 22 year old son who was headed to the NFL draft this year. Diagnosed with a glioblastoma brain tumor, had emergency surgery and is now at M D Anderson in Houston for proton therapy radiation and chemo. Cancer is hell on the patient and their whole family. If there's one even marginally good thing about it, it shows how family, friends and community can all come together to help out as much as they can. Small solace though it may be. Glad you made it through it, hope he does too.

    Good luck oneshot.

    If it happens, Fox and CNN will both cover it.

    That one is a nice eating size.

    I'll buy a ticket for me, one for Marty, one for Les and one for Ham. I'll bring sandwiches and cokes as this might take a while.
  10. Terrierman
    Rest in peace.
  11. Terrierman
    Congratulations both of you.

    Like this I think.

    Way to be real people Marty and Pat. Deals like that are good for the soul for all concerned.
  14. Terrierman
    If they were available - even kind of readily - Marty would have them already. There were more of them made than Excalibur, but they won't be easy to find. SO LOOK HARDER!

    Manganese in drinking water causes problems - mostly with causing more or less permanent black spots on laundry and also staining porcelain sinks and toilet bowls. Just guessing that's what the City of Branson was concerned about as Taneycomo is the primary water supply for the City. Not toxic in the levels- normally well under .2 mg/l - found in drinking water. It's more soluble in it's reduced state so water with oxygen levels that support trout will normally oxidize that manganese and it will precipitate out.

    That's what I thought.

    Way to go Pete!

    You catch a lot of nice fish and I enjoy seeing them and reading about the trip. It's a fishing forum no?

    Rats are easier to get than cats. Hard to tell the difference when it's cooked right. 50 some odd years ago when I was in the Philippines, there were street vendors everywhere selling skewers of "monkey meat" grilled on a Hibachi. Even then I figured monkeys were probably hard to come by. Especially compared to rats which were everywhere. Didn't care, it still tasted good.

    I honor the turkeys I shoot by sharing everything but the breast meat with the many hungry creatures that Mother Nature has placed near me. IT IS NOT WASTED. Mother nature wastes nothing. Nothing right down to the nutrients that fungi release to the soil nearing the end of the trophic chain.

    I've got a couple of blinking lights on my bike that are > 180 degree visible. They're small, came with a rubber strap to fasten to handle bars and back rack. Weight is practically nothing. Would be easy to fasten one to the top of a kayak flagpole and would greatly increase visibility to others. Most bike riders around here use something similar, both front and rear. Kayakers should take a lesson.
  22. Terrierman
    Or something.

    We've had 0.98" since midnight here just east of Ozark. And it started again about ten minutes ago. It came nice. The little branch on the way into town and the Finley are still running clear at a nice level.

    There was a fish house on the river in a little burg just outside of Jefferson City back when. They fried buffalo ribs as their specialty and they are good. Real good. You could get a whole carp scaled, scored and deep fried at the same place. Also good. They sold beer too. Also good. Cold squatty bottles of Stag. Good times.

    I'm one of those people who've been run off a gravel bar in the middle of the night with a rise. I'll normally camp up on the first bank if at all possible. I like the 11 point float camp sites. They're easy and safe from getting flooded out absent an honest to Pete big rain.
