    There's still a lot of access around Bull Shoals, but I can't say how the cat fishing is. Most of the isolated spots have been flooded by the new level.

    They saying in the boat building business is that if you're building a glass boat the first thing you do is paint it. For others you lay the keel.

    Good looking radishes Ness. Those are a new variety to me. I haven't grown any in quite awhile because it's hard to get enough growing time here most springs. I was partial to icicles.

    Grounding should always be suspected on 12V systems when voltage is present, but finding it can be a problem. FYI. taking an extension cord and and grounding the ground prong to the vehicle will allow you to use its ground to check for voltage at the lights. A voltohm meter is right most of the time, but not always. You have to have enough contact to carry the load, all the lights. It doesn't take as much contact for for the meter to read as it does for the lights to work.

    It was a women and they were diving in pairs, but the water was murky. Last night they said they were bringing in some special equipment. It was reported that when she went missing she had 40 minutes of air left and 20 minutes when authorities started searching.

    Just a sign of the times. More attractions to draw vacationers to Branson, more water toys and bigger motors. There is nothing that can be done about crowds, but the dangerous antics should be addressed.

    The problem with a voltohm is that it will read if there is a sliver of continuity even if it won't carry the load. If it doesn't show the problem it's time to go low tech. It's pretty easy to check voltage at the rear of the trailer, but a ground is a different animal and harder to check. It's pretty easy to check a ground with a jumper. More often than not if you have voltage in the lights you don't have enough ground continuity. Trailers are often grounded where the wires exit the tubing at the front and that's a common place for corrosion.

    I didn't think KC Masterpiece was a true Kansas City BBQ sauce. It was nothing like the older sauces that always had a little kick in the end, not much, just a little. I do like the sweet style sometimes, but when all as said and done Ollie makes the best. I'll have to give it try. I do like some twang in a sauce at times.

    That's been a little while back and I'm quite sure it wasn't called a pulled pork sandwich. That term is more recent to me. I believe it was just a choice of a BBQ pork or beef sandwich. In reality I always thought they were very good but inexpensive because they were scraps.

    If you have 12V at the back of the trailer on both sides I would start jumping the grounds, starting truck to trailer. A stiff piece of wire and some to scrape to bare metal and you should find the problem. Be sure and remove all the lenses and go from bulb ground to trailer metal. On anything corroded just bridge it.

    Be careful relying on an ohmmeter for continuity, it can come back to bite you. A better way to check trailer grounds is with a jumper. Jump across the connection making sure you have good contact on both sides.

    Rosedale, 50 years ago.

    Yeah pre-plastic Heddon owned the lure business and every gear fisherman cranked them. many. I won't mention any individuals, early thought making a worm out of plastic that look pretty realistic was a gimmick. Almost as bad as the stiff plastic line used on the French reels that looked like ma's Mix Master in action.

    Basically in a nutshell the trailer frame is the grounding conductor to the truck which in turn is the grounding conductor to the battery. It has to be complete. If you go to Home depot, Lowe's, or an electrical supply house get some anti corrosion paste for aluminum wire, it works on corrosion, not just AL wire, and use it everywhere you make a connection. On the trailer you can use a washer under the bolt and the paste under the washer, then cover it with silicone. You should never have another problem. Do this anywhere you had a bolt or screw making a connection.

    I've never been able to buy into the east Carolina BBQ. I know it's very popular and it's just another example of the many styles. I suppose being born and raised in Western Missouri sets ones taste to the original sweet spicy style here.

    I've used grass clippings for decades as a mulch. If you have a clean yard there isn't anything much better. It is weed free and fine enough to disappear over the winter.

    Many of you should have been around when the Texas rig and plastic worms came on the scene. It was no easy chore to get bass fisherman to fish an artificial like a live bait. Overcoming the urge to react was comical at times. I know some of you remember.
  20. Wayne SW/MO
    I agree that this grandaddy of filet knives is one of the best. It's the Normark, and been around longer than most on here. They are a bear to sharpen, but the don't need it often.

    Basically all I'm saying F&F is that Branson doesn't care who brings the money as long as they bring it. You can't confuse Lilley's and Babler and others like them with "Branson", two different entity's, if that makes sense..
  22. Wayne SW/MO
    F&F you can't separate the fishermen from the other boats and machines on TR as far as Branson is concerned and they will howl if either is corralled. A lot of people who come to Branson bring a boat and spend money and time in town. You only have to look at places like Stockton and Hermitage and compare them to Branson and Osage Beach to see who will win out. The more pleasure boats on TR the bigger Branson got.

    I would say no to safe, at least as far as extreme inconvenience. I would afraid that between fighting some current or being hit with a gate opening you might have to call a taxi to get back. It would probably be fine at Rockaway or Empire.

    I'm envious. Between starting late, the cloudy days and Bambi we don't have anything close.

    When i was much , much younger my favorite, and most productive fly was the Black Ghost. I can't say I caught anything of impressive size, but I caught a lot of bass on them. If I remember right the pattern then had a jungle cock eye.
