'About me' for "some guy on the internet"; "Felix is not affiliated with any university, scientific establishment, or corporation, and therein lies his strength. Untainted by institutional bias or conventional wisdom this architect turned author brings fresh insight to the study of the ice ages." ROFL!

The Mercury Model, to a tee. I'd rarely heard the term NLA till I sold Mercury parts. Planned obsolescence.

Not sure if it was that SJ or another, but I heard the Nuge' from my backyard on the N side of Grandview, about 6-7 crow miles. Sounded like heavy interstate traffic just over the hill... pure noise. Ended up having a great time with some fellow music lovers that had no interest in Ted either. There really were some great acts to roll thru the City from ~'76-82 when I was there. Free shows in the parks on Sundays were nice too. The old Memorial Hall...

My anecdotal 2 cents... Chasing down jug-hooked catfish is way easier with a gas motor than an electric troller. Something about that electric motor gives 'em second wind and they flee in panic. On the other hand, I've electric-trolled for shallow 'eyes, just 5' over one on the graph, thrown out behind the boat without changing course, and catch the very fish I'd just driven over. Armed with that experience I've concluded that dropping a 2 oz sinker in an aluminum boat definitely scares the fish away.

But then you just have to reel it back in and do it all over again. 🤔 ???

"Impounded waters" in Bull Shoals, Table Rock & Norfork, as stated in the screen grab posted by Bigfishes1 above. Upper Table Rock (WR) reciprocal fishing specifically ends at Houseman access. Other tribs are less clearly defined, but have commonly been accepted as being at or below conservation pool elevations.

...unless they sell it on the courthouse steps for back taxes, or take it by E.D. to build a highway, lake, or wall across it, or some prosecutor claims a portion of it was paid for with ill-gotten gains...

I believe most of the mortality happens before they're an inch long.

I saw a caravan of RVs with Minnesota tags headed north Saturday. Pretty sure it was the same gaggle of vagabonds I saw headed back south today. Guess I better bring some wood in tonight.

That's easy enough to solve, just Google "spanking for hire". It looks like there's a decent sized industry serving folks that don't think they got spanked as much as they deserved...

That would have been a fairly safe assumption from the early '70s thru 2016.

...not seeing a shad tank anywhere...?

Cool! I told that exact same story as a younger man, only I used "smugglers" instead of "malcontents". Got some pretty good mileage out of that one. 👍

A response that is surprisingly appropriate in a wide variety of pre-Christmas situations; "You'll shoot you eye out, kid."

The Prelinger Archives are a relaxing diversion for me. Historical to hilarious, with lots of stuff I remember from grade school in the '60s. You may find, as I did, that some of the propos that impressed you as a kid were really pretty hokey on review.

Bet there's more than a few here that don't have a clue what you're referring to... I do... those slicky pages really sucked in the wintertime!

A couple hours of that and I'd have to put myself on suicide watch. I'm driving till the wheels fall off and burn!

I've been lucky enough to get invited to some friends T day dinner for the last several years since I have no family left in the area. Last year I talked them into skipping the ham & turkey and letting me fry catfish for a change of pace. They loved it. This year they asked me to do it again, but one of the brothers insists on bringing a ham too. I'm gonna bring him a loaf of bread so he can make sammiches with all his leftover ham. ☺️

My first encounter with them was below Bagnell back in the '90s. Caught a dozen in about 10 minutes. Must have been hundreds there. My second experience was a misunderstood order I placed at a local taco joint. Not sure how you get 'tilapia ala diabla' from 'camarones ala diabla', but they did. Neither experience was particularly enjoyable.

Lots of places you can buy LM bass fingerlings for around a buck a pop (delivered).

Distant cousins of Zebulon Pike...

Not so in this case, and from reading several sources, that may be a cause for controversy; "The radiocarbon dating method was not used to date the archaeological components at the Friedkin site because there were no carbon samples that would yield reliable and accurate ages. In situ charcoal is not preserved, and all bones are leached of collagen. Dating of bulk sediment organics was not undertaken because these ages are usually inaccurate. For example, two bulk sediment ages from the Clovis horizon (unit 3a) at Excavation Area 8 of the Gault site, located ~400 m upstream of the Friedkin site, produced ages of 7130 ± 40 radiocarbon years before the present (14C yr B.P.) (CAMS-65535; ~7.9 to ~8.0 ka ago) and 9300 ± 40 14C yr B.P. (CAMS-65986; ~10.4 to 10.6 ka ago) (12). These ages are 2 to 5 ka younger than the known age of Clovis." "Instead, the OSL dating method was used to determine the age of the artifacts at the Friedkin site by dating the floodplain sediments that bury them. This method is well suited for the site because according to the geological principle of inclusions, any items, such as artifacts, in an undisturbed sedimentary deposit, such as the floodplain clays at the Friedkin site, are at least as old as the sediments that contain them. The OSL method has been used for decades to date Late Quaternary deposits and has been shown to yield accurate ages; many tests have shown that OSL ages are in agreement with radiocarbon ages (13). Luminescence dating has also been used to successfully date archaeological sites in North America such as the Clovis horizon at Pavo Real, Texas, and the Archaic, Paleoindian, and pre-Clovis horizons at the Gault site, Texas (12, 14, 15)."

Have you tried it for pancakes yet?
