Not the UAW. Lost my job to Mexico via NAFTA. Missouri used to have the most car plants in the USA believe it or not. Corvette in STL, ford in hazelwood, two Chrysler plants in Fenton, Wentzville assembly and the KC plant. Plus all of feeder plants like mine. Fisher Body. All gone but Wentzville. Management threatened plant closures unless the UAW voted in the tired wage system like UPS. New hires get Half the pay of the pre contract workers. So they offer buyouts and hire more new people. I left under the old contract.
We are in an electric CO-OP and our budget billing each month is $100/month. I ran the calculator for my house and it was around $18K for the system after subsidies. It would take15 years for me to break even. Baring any additional cost maintaining a 15 year old system.
I grew up fly fishing so I always reeled left handed. When I finally got a spinner it was natural to reel left handed. Bait caster a little while after that and went left handed again. Although I can reel right handed but I don't see where switching hands is good. Plus I like my dominate hand working the rod. That's weird that you're good to go with spinners but not baitcast.
Man I don't know. You probably need a biologist to answer that...😂 Maybe @Johnsfolly would have some insight?? Besides the oil I think other chemicals are added to it.
That's cool! I googles property for sale with lakes in MO and you better sock away about $400K plus. Couldn't really find anything other than similar to this.

Not sure if you guys have ever been in the river right there but you better know what you are doing. I was in a big ski boat and never felt comfortable.
I've had a pond prowler for 30 plus years or so. Or Coleman Crawdad in the early days. While stable they aren't suited for small ozark streams at all. Nearly no way to steer them. I'd keep both if you could. If just fishing the two small steams you better keep the yak.
