Kehdes BBQ is a spot that would keep.me going back to Sedalia. Love their food and eating in a train car😉. We also like the Daum art museum. Livie and have caught trout in the urban pond in Sedalia.

I pulled an old packet of venison steaks from the freezer..I also had some leftover pork tenderloin. Sliced both thin. I also sliced up some yellow and green peppers, onion, mushrooms, and broccoli. Also diced ginger. Cooked with some bilgogi and sambal sauces and a dash of fish sauce.

We love state fairs. We used to go to the MO fair in Sedalia nearly every year. Never been a big midway guy spending money on games of "chance"😉. But like @snagged in outlet 3 we would go thru the animal barns, see the award winning baked goods, vegetables and fruits. I found the 4H projects pretty interesting. Then try to eat the different food with most being on a stick😁. The MD. State fair is not as big and not as interesting as the MO fair. Back in College we would go to the Allentown fair in PA. Saw CSN in concert twice at the fair. The funniest story was from the FL state fair. The poultry and small animal barn was sponsored by KFC. It was very funny to see folks with chicks and ducks in KFC boxes. I guess we have been going more to renn faires than state fairs over the last decade or so.

I listen to that old CD format music when I travel on our fishing trips. Almost exclusively 60s and 70s. A little 50s and some 80s.

I cooked a store marinated pork tenderloin last night. Served it with steamed broccoli and blistered cherry tomatoes. No photos but was tasty bachelor meal while my wife and daughter are in KY helping our oldest move.

I remember our family exercise 😂

That's a big bear.

The last one that I saw in MO was during a fishing trip along the Current river. I caught movement high up on one of the bluffs above the river. I watched it slink along for a few mins before it slipped out of sight. On one hunting trip I saw one cross the road above my stand. It headed down the deer trail I was hunting. As it got into a bit of cover I drew my bow expecting it to come to a small opening. I never saw it again. Must have seen me move and either just stopped or snuck away unseen.

Always loved to go out and look for tracks in fresh snow. Was very cool to see what animals are around that we don't "see" them.

Redbreast is a great whiskey.

Between these pies and the hot cheese on pizzas seems like our mouths always had 3rd degree burns 😂😉

Another sunrise photo after our VA trip.

Could not agree more! I didn't know Marty when he was making these poppers, but I did get a couple of his french fry lures. They work great. I will admit that I have mostly fished them with spinning tackle. This crappie torpedoed this bait, coming out of the water to get it. This bass was caught with a fly rod😉. Another bigger fish took this bait and dug me into the weeds and broke off. I remember talking with Marty on how bad I felt losing one of his lures. He told me that he sent them to be fished and sent me another.

Sorry haven't fished in a while😉

I wish that we had mooneye and goldeye near us. The Ohio river and tribs may have them.

Such a cool fish. Thanks again for helping me catch those fish😉😁

I hope to catch his cousin this fall😉

Lately I like to get a good char on the bok choy in a pan then add stock to pan and braise them.

https://gardenandgun.com/articles/for-the-first-time-in-nearly-a-century-hikers-can-walk-through-forests-of-mature-wild-american-chestnuts/ I have been seeing more folks planting american chestnuts. Would be great to see this species spread to its old haunts.

I saw that article..maybe we need to do an OAF trip to do a big redear contest😉.

Nice grass carp @FishnDave! I have a spot down in Houston that if I have the time will try again to catch a grass carp. I still have the jigs/flies that you gave us.
