  1. Right there with you. One of those kids made two of their own as well 😁
  2. That's a normal fishing day for me and my family. Most every place to fish around us is over an hour and more like 1.5 to 3 hours one way. Even back in Columbia a trip to the Current was a 300 mile round trip. Just always live near I work and not where I play i guess.

    What's Cooking?

    Maybe not a lot in your terms, but would do this once or twice a year. Filleting 50 bluegill was a chore.
  4. Make a cup that dissolves when wet doesn't make for a great productπŸ˜‰ I'm sure that instead of making candles this process makes it so that there could be other things that can be made at internment camps.
  5. I would make sure that my kids and grandkids had a safety net. I wouldn't want them to not work or strive to achieve on their own but have that security if needed. I would want land and water that I can control. Big enough plot(s) to make a difference. In terms of fishing I would give Steve Wozniak a run for his money in terms of different species caught. Lots of equipment would be needed to accomplish that goal. https://1000fish.wordpress.com/
  6. I know that there has been discussion of splitting CA into two or.more states. Lots of discussion in Oregon to split out the more rural parts of the state to merge with Idaho.
  7. My friend has always said that having a race team is a great way to make a small fortune ... especially from a large one!🀣
  8. Of course a bit of catching sure helps as wellπŸ˜‰
  9. I do love the CA health warnings on fishing rods that state that one or more components are known carcinogens. So glad for that warning, because I would hate to eat my fishing rods and then get cancer πŸ˜‚!
  10. predicting that the "disposal of batteries" will be an ecological disaster about 15 to 25 yrs from now. Right now I think that thailand and other countries receive all of this trash.
  11. Crude reality: One U.S. state consumes half the oil from the Amazon rainforest (msn.com) California has some of the toughest environmental laws in the country making it nearly impossible to supply energy within the state. So one would suspect that they are fairly green. Nope! They outsource their energy needs from border states for electricity and seemingly oil from the Amazon.

    What's Cooking?

    Porcini is a delicious mushroom. The powder is the dried mushroom. I use it to add a strong mushroom flavor. Pinot noir is a full body red wine. I added about a cup to get mushroom and beef stock mixture. Parsnips are the white carrots that you may find in your local stores. I cooked them in the chicken stock until they were soft then blended them until creamy. Since they were slightly bitter I added a tablespoon of honey and just a bit of cream to make them a little richer.

    What's Cooking?

    Trying to clean out the freezer. So pulled out a venison shoulder roast from last year's deer. Braised in beef stock, porcini powder, pinot noir, whole crushed garlic, carrots, celery, and onion. Seared the outside of roast at lunch.ivie put it in 325 deg oven around three. Pulled out roast at 6 pm. Really tender. Served with boiled brussel sprouts and a parsnip puree (cooked in chicken stock) with a little honey and a little bit of cream.
  14. Me too πŸ‘
  15. If I remember right, she shot that deer in Callaway county. We have a few piebalds around here. Saw a nice piebald buck a couple of times and got a chance at him on 10/30. Watched him for 15 mins or more before he gave me a broadside shot and then had a misfire with the crossbow with the arrow landing about 10 ft in front of him. Might have miscocked the string. In Maryland baiting is legal. My daughter was using her phone camera from in the house while I was in the blind out back so not a great photo. We have seen probably 15 or more different bucks this year, but haven't seen this guy again. There's one of my zero hunt stories πŸ™„
  16. A woman that used to work for me shot an 8 pt doe. They got the surprise when they flipped her overπŸ˜‰. The photos that I hae seen, those does still don't have the big swollen necks like the bucks do.
  17. You know that @snagged in outlet 3 really likes those photos πŸ˜‰
  18. So back to the stated topic πŸ˜… Now Canada has a problem. Public plea issued after catch of freakishly large goldfish (msn.com) They should just pay @FishnDave to go ahead and catch those goldies πŸ‘
  19. Sounds awesome. Congrats on a great day!

    Nets??

    Unfortunately I will miss out. Have someone post a video of the festivities... at least the PG ones πŸ˜‰πŸ˜…
  22. We did that the only time that we canoed this river. My wife and I had not canoed together for almost two decades. It was October and my daughter was also in the boat. We did well even with white knuckles and high anxiety. Of course our daughter wanted us to do it again πŸ™„

    Nets??

    The Jammy pants have unicorns on them 🀣

    Nets??

    I feel that is the key to landing those bigger fish. My net seems to be 12 to 14 inches deep. Nice trout by the way. Neat looking male.
  25. Yes - sort of πŸ™„. Two issues; we don't have an auger and like in MO many lakes/ponds do not freeze sufficiently hard to actually icefish. Still willing to look into that as an option.
