In the US a college degree has dropped down to the importance that a high school degree was previously. Having a secondary degree is what most employers are looking for in a candidate. I know that I look at those higher degree folks more closely than one with a degree in a non-science field.

Economics taught in HS would help as well.

Looks like a good use of some of the chicken that we picked up over the weekend .

A dyslexic man walked into a bra! A boy went out to catch the fog. He Mist!

I remember this one as well .

Johnny be Good!! I remember that joke. Funny then and still funny now !

I resemble that remark by the way .

Ok I lied... You can never lose a homing pigeon. If it doesn't come back home..what you have lost is a pigeon!!!🤣

Last one for now. I entered 10 puns into a pun contest hoping that one would win; but no pun in ten did😪.

My daughter hit the dad jokes a little hard this evening. Just talking her down now😉!

My wife accused me of being immature. I told her to get out of my fort! I told my wife that she drew on her eyebrows too high. She looked surprised! I threw a boomerang a few years ago. Now I live in constant fear!

What is green and fuzzy and if it fell out of a tree it would kill you ?!?🤔 A pool table🤣!

How many Germans does it take to screw in a lightbulb?!? One. They are very efficient and not terribly funny!😉

I took the shell off of my racing snail thinking that it would make him faster. If anything it made him more sluggish🤣!

Trying not to be hoarders, but did pick up 20 lbs of chicken legs for $20. Broke them down into thighs and drumsticks ended with about 8 meals worth. We have a couple pork butts in deep freeze as well. Along with our venison we should be good for proteins for a couple of weeks🙂.

Second project was rust covered deep #8 Wagner skillet. Does have a slight belly and some pitting.

First restoration project,, a Wagner #3. Should be ready to cook with now.

Ok maybe everyone already knew this, but recently had the discussion on what the model number on my cast iron meant. Here's what I found on the internet (from Cast Iron Collector site) - take it with as many grains of salt as you wish . "Regardless of what other markings or logos the major foundries incised into their products, common among nearly all vintage pieces-- whether they be skillets, dutch ovens, waffle irons, or griddles-- are size numbers. Often, the assumption is erroneously made that the large numeral, found normally either on the top of the handle or on the bottom of a piece, indicates its diameter in inches. A measurement of both the top and the bottom rim of a pan, however, will quickly confirm that the number has no direct correlation to either dimension. With the advent of wood-burning stoves, pans were produced to conform to the sizes of the openings in their tops known as "stove eyes". Think of a stove eye as a burner on a modern stove. (Some people still call them that.) A heavy cover piece was left in place when an eye was not directly in use, and removed-- using a special, heat-resistant lifter handle-- when maximum heat from the eye was required. Heat rings, the rims protruding from the bottom circumference of most early cast iron pans, served multiple functions: as a "seal" of sorts between the pan and stove eye, as added stablility for less-than-perfectly flat pan bottoms, and as a device to help reduce hot spots. Depending on the brand of stove, and the sizes of its various eyes, appropriately-sized pans would need to be purchased for use with it. Or, in some cases, the stove maker also produced pans, which they supplied for use with their units. Even after gas-fired ranges-- and, eventually, electric stoves-- became ubiquitous, cast iron cookware continued to be manufactured in the sizes and with the designations originally established for its use on wood-burning stoves. A 1924 Wagner Manufacturing Co. catalog gives these as the bottom diameters of their regular cast iron skillets: #2 - 4-7/8" #3 - 5-1/2" #4 - 5-7/8" #5 - 6-3/4" #6 - 7-1/2" #7 - 8-1/4" #8 - 8-7/8" #9 - 9-3/4" #10 - 10-1/4" #11 - 10-7/8" #12 - 11-3/4" #13 - 12" #14 - 13" These exact dimensions, however, were not standard across all makers. A 1918 Griswold Mfg. Co. catalog lists roughly the same dimensions for its regular skillets, with the #3 and #4 being somewhat smaller than Wagner's, and the #13 and #14 somewhat wider. And a Martin #3 skillet is the same size as a Wagner #2."

I agree. The only advantage to the current situation. If they decide to cancel the season, I wonder how that affect guys that are on the last year of their contracts.

It's great to have a pond available to you to fish! Congrats on catching some nice looking bass! Sad about the hockey jersey. I don't think that there will a continuation of this year's season . I miss playoff hockey.

Al what is your alternative? Issues with universal/government supported or fully funded health care system can lead to lack of innovations due to limited governmental funds available. The you get what you pay for situation. Currently those countries that have those systems like Canada and the UK benefit from the big pharma generating drugs in a for profit scenario. Ask yourself and maybe do the research on whether your wife would have had the care that she did and the medications/treatments that she used if she were in the UK or Canada? How long would she have had to wait for those treatments? Also would those medications been developed under their system? Maybe they would have, though I tend to doubt it.

I'll throw myself into that camp. I used to think that this was a fishing forum .

As humans we create sport to challenge and push ourselves to overcome those self-imposed obstacles. This is another example. Personally I focus more on catching that species then trying for something different maybe a cherry salmon instead of just a smaller fish of the same species. But those are my self imposed rules😁

Rick most of the anti-vaxxers that I know considered themselves far more educated and intellectual than most. These are people holding multiple degrees and not high school graduates.
