Hillbilly Militia?

Several nose danglers, including one jerk directly in front of me in line. Stood outside for a good 30 minutes before entering the building. He didn't put on his mask until the exact second he crossed the threshold of the door. And then it only covered his chin. He wore it this way for a solid hour longer until an election official came up and said he need to wear it over his mouth and schnozz, at which point he said his disposable mask was broken. So she went and got him a new one, brought it to him, and he put it on in the exact same way he had been wearing the other one. Qanon Trumpanzee no doubt.

What are their demands and behavior? Wearing a mask? My wife got stared down by trump hat wearing guy at a gas station in Rolla this weekend for what I presume was her crime of wearing a mask. She was the only one inside the very busy gas station wearing a mask. She told me about the stare down after we had left, which was probably a good thing or I would have got in his face. And with regard to your over-reported COVID cause of death theory. This has been coming up time and time again and its a bunch of hooey. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/09/01/fact-check-cdcs-data-covid-19-deaths-used-misleading-claims/5681686002/

Very sorry, Oneshot.

I've got that going on big-time with my in-laws right now. Just having dinner with them, they misunderstand each other and this causes arguments and they start yelling at each other like the Costanzas. Refuse to wear their hearing aids.

That sounds like a rough time, Mitch. I love my in-laws, but living in the same house with them would not work.

These lyrics are very apropos....

It was fine. Some dragging in places, and one long dead stretch that was tough in the wind, but I love that upper section. Different character of river.

Thanks for the tip. Watched it last night. Impressive filmmaking. And the fact that he did it all just snorkeling. Octopus’ short life, their intelligence and ability to learn so quickly, ... blown away by this film

Love that place. Great photos. Little Piney is WAY underrated, and one of the best trout streams in MO in my opinion. I caught a 3 lber the afternoon Freese hit his famous dinger a few years ago, just below Lane

Fantastic. We were using oak pellets, and once that thing got up to temp . . . . we went into production. Pizza would cook in about 2 minutes. Less than that if don't care for a little burnt, but the crust was as good as any napolitano style pizza I've had in any restaurant. Made dough in advance at home with bread machine and stored in our coolers. Warmed it ever so slightly using dutch ovens. Fresh Belgiosio mozzarella, fresh basil, jalapeños, oregano, mushrooms, and red onion from a friends garden, Volpi pepperoni . . . . . . it was delicious. Only thing we wished was some italian sausage.

Not until Nov. 1st right? Can park at top of hill and hike down.

Lane Spring Rec area is only a couple hundred yards down stream of the 63 bridge. I can see why they closed the 63 access . . . . . it was getting trashed.

Nice weekend out. Saturday was very crowded on the river and the wind made fishing tough, but had a great time. Caught a bunch of smallmouth up to 18", goggle eye, and a few stream-bred rainbows and stockers up to about 17". Great trip! The 11 point never disappoints.

Napolitano style pizzas made to order, on a gravel bar somewhere near Mary Decker shoal...

What others have said. Heavy and deep on both. I like the Pats rubber leg on the NFOW, and mohair leeches on 11 pt.

Very good. One of Hanks best.

Sorry to hear this Gavin.

Happy to hear from Ken. Miss the dude. Hope you are well my friend.

Stockton is haunted. Paul Dallas story on Stockton. 1985 Brand new clear Zara Spook near point 13. long cast at dawn by the timber. Heron comes and picks it up. Drag sings a tune and unspools 260 yards of fresh Trilene. Pocket knife injury in the process of trying to cut the line.

Since I just watched Breaking Away . . . . 1. Breaking Away 2. Sergeant York 3. Big Lebowski 4. Caddyshack 5. Deliverance

Evidence? I've "heard" the same story from several people, and I've put on my best detective cap and internet researched it, and as far as I can tell, this is largely a myth. What's that expression, a lie gets halfway around the world before the truth can get its boots on.

"A roaming wolf-pack of big smallies on their way somewhere" . . . . . . . .nice imagery. Makes we want to leave the office and go fishing.

Yep, that is where they were. had some streamer action pounding banks with a sink tip. Also a couple on top with foam hoppers
