By that logic, if you wear a diaper on your head, does it become a turban? 😉

The electrical requirements of todays' fishing boats have finally made us take another look at traditional layout and wiring. That's a good thing, 'cause we needed it. One thing I've not seen discussed is the 'common grounding' of multiple and independent power sources. That means the ground of a 24-36V system is connected with the -12V, not every battery. This isn't hull grounding, just a #14 connecting the proper battery grounds. The purpose is to equalize the various systems' ground potential in relation to the real ground of your big motor in the water. It solves a host of interference issues, reduces electrolysis on your l/u, and is cheap and easy to do.

I didn't know of either till now, beautiful fish. Good luck!

Now there's a blast from the past... I haven't been there since a school field trip in the mid-'60s. MDC has some info on it, with a mention of bank access; https://fishing.mdc.mo.gov/reports/forest-lake-thousand-hills-state-park Long Branch Lake at Macon might be a better option, with bank access to the entire dam and a bit on either end too. I caught a couple of night 'eyes there from the rip rap at the east end once, but that's been a few years ago too.

None of them were just tryin' to get by, being quiet and shy. I favored Jerry McKinnis and his "Fishin' Hole".

I resemble that remark... The 5 gallon bucket may have been one of the most consequential inventions of man.

Most petro products have stockpiles in their chains good for 4-5 days of interruptions from any direction. In this case it wasn't near enough. Once you're behind it takes extra effort for less profit to recover. And recovery supply is just what it used to be if you're lucky, so increased demand for any reason ain't gonna happen till somebody throws more money at it. Our PVC pipe & fittings from TX. have seen two 10% price bumps in 60 days, but at least they're available.

Think I'm gonna wait till they release their sharks with frickin' laser beams...

...The leather exterior also does not get colder in the water like traditional ABS plastic, which ensures the bait has a warmer body temperature and a similar texture to a living baitfish... For that kind of money you'd think they could at least hire an ad writer with a basic grasp of physics and warm/cold-blooded creatures.

I haven't had a "regular" doctor for ~20 years. Last one of them I had took me off his patient list since I hadn't needed him for a few years. Wanted me to make a 'new client' appointment 5-6 weeks out for an infection that obviously needed antibiotics asap. Went to an urgent care across the street, got in & out with the shot & 'script I needed in about 20 minutes for $25 out-of-pocket. Haven't had a need for a "regular" doctor since. The minor stuff I've needed medical help with I already know what the problem is and what I need a 'script for to fix it. Urgent care fills that need completely with far less hassle and cost. Sure, someday I'll be in a really bad way with something they can't handle, but till then the "regular" doctors can sit & spin. When I eventually need one that has a month or more wait I'll probably just die. Already past my "best if used by" date anyway.

gess its jus me

I have yet to see a meme that doesn't make me feel a little dumber just for having looked at it. Does anyone else suffer this affliction, or is it just me?

How can someone "tell" you if you can't hear? Vulcan mind meld?

Looks like as good a place as any to drop this;

Funny, that's how it would look if I was using it for bait...

I like this example of the proper wearing of boots;

...little early for April Fools, but may be a practice run...

I like those! You can tell her the one about the constipated mathematician who worked it out with a pencil (or not).

Not without a pump. Even then you'd need a means of ensuring you never boiled the coil water into steam. I guess you could drop the 's' and become Onehot...

Yep, and the username often extends out over the "take me to where I left off" button I use all the time. Not as bad on a PC where you can get precise with the mouse pointer, but really bad on touch devices. If some of the more prolific posters wonder why I've visited their profile page daily, it's not intentional. 😉 Just been like that a couple/few days.

...or let the leaves lay and don't mow at all. Dump a few leftover tubs of red wigglers and nightcrawlers and in a couple years you won't have to buy worms either.

The Dirt Band with Vassar Clements.

No, it wouldn't be great at all. Heck, it pd me off back before the www when some local braggart hooked up with some newspaper outdoors guy, and the resulting Friday half page. Everybody that ever did that regretted it in a short time. "Call someplace paradise, kiss it goodbye."
