  1. If there was no Kramer, Elaine, and George this show would have lasted less than a season. Would have been just Seinfeld stand up. He was not the best part of that show. Great writing and cast of characters.
  2. If you don't like being around people it's not the place to be.. lots of junk sellers,, but some interesting stuff hidden amongst the junk.. Picked up things like a hand forged axe for my son, rabbit cages, antique tools, etc. Never found any chickens or rabbits that we just had to take home.
  3. Favorite Ronco product of all time. Boy I wanted one as a kid. In hindsight except for a travel rod option probably was a bad deal to try and really fish it. Actually saw one being sold at Jacob's cave swap meet. Didn't buy it.
  4. We are all headed to blazes for laughing at this.🙄
  5. Yeah lady it's like the lazy river ride at the water park🙄!
  6. Congrats on those awesome Night time trout!
  7. I have bank fished and waded from Montauk down to Cedar grove over the years and agree with you Rick that above Ashley to Montauk would not be the water to run a jon boat. I recall a few spots from Parker down to Cedar grove where there should be some pucker factor. I have seen MDC electrofishing between Parker and Ashley creek. I was wondering why I had only caught one 16 inch brown the whole time until I saw them upstream from me and figured out why the fish were so shy.
  8. Our fraternity dog was addicted to yellow jackets. He actively hunted them down. They would sting the heck out of him and he's slobbering all over, but them his eyes would glaze over and he would lay down for a while. About an hour to two later do it all over again. Shows the stress of fraternity life😂
  9. That is hilarious👍👍🤣
  10. I'm pretty good not catching more. Here's a good example of the crap they can do when trying to get away. I can struggle to tie a knot this well 😅.
  11. Thanks Jeff. Now I just need to plan a trip to Washington. Do you know anything about fishing around Portalnd OR? I likely to be out there (COVID pending) in Nov for a conference. Not sure if I would have any time to get out, but intel is always great to have.
  12. Hill’s bandmates Frank Beard and Billy Gibbons confirmed the news Wednesday in a statement that read, “We are saddened by the news today that our Compadre, Dusty Hill, has passed away in his sleep at home in Houston, TX. We, along with legions of ZZ Top fans around the world, will miss your steadfast presence, your good nature and enduring commitment to providing that monumental bottom to the ‘Top'. We will forever be connected to that ‘Blues Shuffle in C.’ You will be missed greatly, amigo.”
  13. If it's tight wire, I will.
  14. It was a 4 and a half ft snow drift 😝
  15. Hey Bonehead this thread is in the Beaver lake subforum😉
  16. I don't think that I have ever seen a short fence. But maybe that's just me🤔🙄🤣
  17. I had to walk to work after it dumped 14 to 16 inches. Crossed I 70 and nearly disappeared in a snow drift on the other side of the highway. Had to sort of dig myself out first before I could climb up the hill to our parking lot. Good times.
  18. I've done some research for targeting these guys. No solid plans yet. I want to target the various redeye bass species and may go for these guys as well.
  19. Nice! I'll catch one someday even if I have to wash my hands afterwards 🤣.

  21. How do you get bubonic plague? The bubonic plague has a frightening history, but there is little risk of it becoming a global threat, says Michael Head, PhD, a senior research fellow in Global Health at the University of Southampton. "There are a few hundred cases of plague globally each year, so the disease itself is relatively rare." It is found mainly in Africa, Asia, and South America. Countries with the most number of cases are usually Democratic Republic of Congo, Peru, and Madagascar. There are also occasional plague cases in the western United States mostly in two areas: the Southwest four corners region and the Northwest in California and Oregon. One reason bubonic plague is uncommon is that it is rarely transmitted between people. It's possible to pass it on through a cough, but the most common way to catch plague is through a bite from an infected flea or animal. How does the bubonic plague affect your body? Bubonic plague targets your lymph nodes, which are located throughout your body. They are round clusters of immune cells that fight off invading microbes. When plague bacteria enter your system, they multiply inside the closest lymph node. This can cause swollen, painful lymph nodes, most often found in your groin, neck, or armpit. If you aren't treated for bubonic plague, the infection can spread through your whole body. In addition to swollen lymph nodes, other symptoms of bubonic plague include: Fever that comes on suddenly Chills Headache Weakness Nausea and vomiting If you catch bubonic plague, symptoms will take between one to seven days to show up after you are exposed. Symptoms will usually worsen rapidly, which is why it's important to seek treatment immediately. Other forms of plague Depending on where the Y. pestis bacteria spreads in your body, you can develop two additional forms of plague: Pneumonic plague occurs when Y. pestis spreads to your lungs. This condition is extremely dangerous and infected people can die within 18-24 hours of being exposed to the bacteria if they are not quickly treated with antibiotics. Septicemic plague is caused by plague bacteria spreading through your bloodstream. This form of plague can cause other troubling symptoms — your skin and other tissue can turn black and die, particularly on your nose, fingers, and toes. You may also bleed out of your mouth, nose, or anus. Treatment and prevention of the bubonic plague To diagnose bubonic plague, your doctor will test your blood, mucus, or pus from swollen lymph nodes to look for the Y. pestis bacteria. If you test positive for bubonic plague, "immediate treatment is essential," Head says. "If untreated, bubonic plague has a mortality rate of around 50%," Head says. If you get treated with antibiotics, the death rate drops to about 11%. Doctors will usually give antibiotics like streptomycin, gentamicin, doxycycline, or ciprofloxacin to treat bubonic plague. You may also need to get intravenous fluids and oxygen to help your body through the treatment process. If you are traveling to a region with a higher plague risk, it may help to take precautions against flea bites. Wear long-sleeve shirts and pants to protect your skin and use a DEET-based bug spray to repel fleas. You should also stay away from any animals you suspect may have fleas. I've known about the ground squirrels around Lake Tahoe having fleas carrying the plague. Must be more locals than that now.
  22. You and me both 😅.
