Look at the signature on Phil's post.🎯 It is a very nice looking case for sure.

Post of the Century!

I was so done after catching a 100 lb tarpon. A 600 lb sturgeon for me would mean a motor driven reel and somebody else to hold the rod.

Now that's a fish!

An interesting process and much more time involved than I would have ever imagined.

I center punched a fairly nice buck in the center of his chest as he was walking straight towards me up out of a draw. I saw him coming and got ready to shoot while he was down in the draw and could not see me. When I shot him, he took off like greased lightning running to my left. I thought how on earth did I miss that deer? Jacked in another round, shot again and he dropped. The second shot was a lucky shot, hit him right in the neck. But the first shot killed him too. I hadn't missed, and the blood trail from where I'd hit him was huge. Looked like somebody had buckets of blood and was throwing it everywhere. Recovered the bullet from the chest shot just under the skin on the left hip. Only bullet I've ever recovered from a deer. Everything inside was a mess, totally destroyed. I was shooting a .270 Winchester, 130 grain Sierra Game King loaded at 3100 FPS. If I'd shot that deer with a .375 H&H I think I would have seen the same thing.

When it comes to deer, it's where you hit them, much more than what you hit them with. About the 6.5 Creedmoor. It's a round that long range shooters love for the ballistics and low recoil. The guy in the orange hat killed this elk at a lasered 897 yards with one shot from his McMillan Creedmoor, shooting prone with a bipod. He's a serious long range shooter. Carries a ballistics calculator with him that tells him how to adjust for temperature, altitude, humidity, wind and the angle of the sun what day of the week it is and when he last talked to his wife. Basically everything. I was there. Saw it happen. That's me in the black vest. It's a very capable round from a good rifle with the right guy behind it.

My take is I don't care. That or maybe she fell in a tackle box.

It's likely that you're probably right.

Marty Stewart and the Fabulous Superlatives. Those guys are good musicians.

Worth the time if you ask me.

If you're going to go to that much trouble might as well have a waffle. Everybody likes waffles, right?

Want to talk about animal feed that people eat for breakfast? How about those range cubes they sell as shredded wheat?

The only way oatmeal is good is as a binder in meatloaf. Then I don't even notice it.

What are you like on Tuesday? Yeah, it's a good one. Most of theirs are.

One per table.🎯

Surprise! You're the new Sheriff!!

Warsaw has the original Bass Pro store and the old Brown Derby's? Dang I need to get out more. All I remember about Warsaw is Cow Patty's.

There are a ton of flea market/antique shops in town. The old mill that Bass Pro redid into a restaurant is cool and the grounds are nice to walk. The Finley bridge that was relocated to there gets you over the river to another nice walking area where they built the Chapel. Riverside Park is pretty and you can bank fish there but don't expect to catch dinner. There's a nice riverside paved walking trail between the bridge over the Finley and the OC (City owned rec center). Some bank fishing on the trail too. Plenty of places to eat from local old style cafe food to some pretty fancy places. It's close enough to Springfield to do anything you like there. We're fond of the Art Museum and it's free. And of course the big home Bass Pro, their aquarium and museums in the store.

I bought a set of golf clubs as a retirement present to myself. Played maybe five times in my life before I retired. Took five or six lessons and then started playing. At first I played once or twice a week. Always walked. Could shoot in the high 80's on a good day, so clearly I'm no good. Only went out twice last year during the height of covid. I'll work on getting out more this year. I'm definitely a fair weather golfer, don't like it cold or hot so that slows me down some too. It's a fun game that is a lot harder than it looks, and when one walks it's decent exercise too.

It isn't.

I bought a quart of real maple syrup at the Springfield farmer's market last month. A guy from El Dorado Springs makes it. Unless Vermont Maple Syrup is a LOT better, I'll take Aunt Jemima.

Being a moderator is not easy when people - especially friends - take it personally. Doesn't really help that I have a much less forgiving nature than Phil either. I find myself walking a rather thin line somewhat often when it comes to moderation.

It would have come out if you had yanked hard enough.😲

That recipe never worked for me to clean up a skunked terrier. Neither does this stuff. THORNELL Skunk-Off Shampoo, 8-oz bottle - Chewy.com The only thing I found that did work was six weeks.
