Have you sold it? Had I hit the Powerball on Saturday, I was ready to write a check. However....

I would have canceled then just disputed the charge on my credit or debit card.

Same old @fishinwrench. Play by your own rules and get to decide what gets to be discussed and what doesn't. Whatever man. It's a lost cause. You've had it and you're good, at least until the next time your get it, like the Congressman in Louisiana who has it for the second time. https://www.theadvocate.com/acadiana/news/article_a0e83d88-edad-11eb-95a2-7bf12e04f2c2.html @BilletHead thanks for bringing up this post. I think it's important to discuss with those willing to discuss. @snagged in outlet 3 you're right about that this is a different kind of vaccine, though it's not DNA vs mRNA. The Flu virus also is an RNA virus and doesn't have DNA. It's more of a dead (in the shot/live (the nasal sniffer) for flu and and piece of genetic material for the mRNA. And only time will tell how effective the new type of vaccine is in the long run.

Nope, you don't. But you brought it up, so I thought you wanted to discuss. And

Well, I thought the USA Today article mentioned in. A case had been identified in a Tx hospital and there were 11 in Canada. I can go back to the google machine and double check.

Please provide some evidence. A reputable link of some kind.

No offense to Rep. Hartzler, but there isn't any evidence is coming across the boarder. There as much in Canada as there is in the US, but they don't share a border with Mexico. We don't share a border with India, where the Delta variant started, but here we are. Here's an article from USA Today, a fairly safe and middle of the road newspaper. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2021/07/21/lambda-variant-covid-identified-texas-hospital-what-know/8039406002/ I think we forget that in the past pandemics, medicine was nonexistent. I mean, in the Spanish Flu outbreak in 1919, we had aspirin. That's it. Ventilators weren't much more than a concept and prototypes until 1940. Between vaccines and antibiotics, we've been pretty good for 100 years in first world countries. Luckily, SARS 1 was only contagious in it's end stages, which is why so many hospital workers got it. Ebola was mist contagious from dealing with dead bodies, something we don't do much of here. Plague: treatable TB: treatable Polio: gone for us Measles/Mumps/Rubella: gone thanks to vaccines Flu: vax, treatable anti-virals, but still deadly for the young, old, immune-suppressed, etc. Polio: gone to vax Small Pox: gone to vax Monkey pox: still in labs and Africa (finger crossed) Chicken Pox/Shingles: gone to vax (shingles is nasty and random, btw. Had it in my early 30s and still have nerve damage on my right shoulder blade 15 years later) COVID will hopefully be gone to vax in the next few years.

I've been wondering where he's been too. I don't bored and checked the Lebanon are obits yesterday and didn't see anyone named Oneshot... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That is really cool. I'd never heard of them until this thread.

It's amazing. When I was a kid, I'd watch the summer Olympics for badminton and table tennis, and the winter Olympics for bobsled and luge. I felt like I had a chance in those sports.

Brilliant.

@Johnsfolly Is that a blind you're fishing behind?

Access denied. I think you need a public link.

Yes, definitely places for him to fish, especially up near the hatchery. The first 5 or 6 holes at least, then there are some other handicap accessible spots throughout. Tim posts on Instagram often. rrtroutgod I believe. And it's mostly no wading anyway.

Very cool. Did you paint the PVC?

I would say you won't need waders this time of year. I always start in the City park. I've caught fish in the park several times, especially the big hole in front of the bridge.

Your pic is broken. I'm anxious to see it.

I almost stepped on one 25 years ago downstream near the farm. It was a warm spring day and there was a rock slide that led down to the creek. I thought "this would be a great place for a snake" and as I scanned down toward the water, I heard the flick of the tail. I looked down to my left and about a step away was a coiled up Cotton Mouth showing fangs and the classic white mouth (hence Cotton Mouth I read later that week at Barnes & Noble). I really thought I'd had a heart attack. I went upstream after that.

I meant to add, that is the fishiest looking spot (with the tree in the water )on the whole creek and I never even get a bite!!

Went to the same creek. Go there at 11:30 a.m. and there were bright skies. Tried the Zman TRD Crawz in Green Pumpkin on a 1/15 head.. Caught 2 smallmouth and snagged a sucker. Worked down to a confluence and switched to some carrot shaped 4in worm I bought at a flea market in Van Buren. I think they are homemade. Also in green on a stand-up head. (I was tired of hanging up and losing the Zman rigs.) Caught a small smallmouth and a about a 14 inch walleye of all things. On the very next cast I felt something literally chewing on the bait and set the hook into a 4 ft gar! It jumped and rolled and but through my 4# Invizx like nothing. I took that as a sign from the fishing gods to go back to the car. This is where I hooked the gar. I'm actually really glad I didn't land it. I had no pliers or anything to get the hook out.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. Based on your pictures, they work quite well.

Tell us more about these $30 rods....🤔

So sorry to hear this. Please let his family to know that they are on our minds.

Great advice guys. I have a lot of mono around. It will give me some knot practice, too.

There's been several thread extolling the virtues of braided line on spinning reels. I bought 300 yards 10# Spider Wire at Walmart. I have a 2000-series reel I want to load in and I plan on about a 6-8 ft section of 8# fluorocarbon as a leader. I'm sure the reel will hold all the braid if I want it to, but my question is, do I want it to? At first I thought I could put 100 yards on and if I like, do they same on a couple other smaller reels, but then I thought, that might not be enough to make the reel function at it's best. I don't want tight coils. Also, the spool is "braid ready". There's a crosshatched section in the middle of the spool. Am I tying on there with a standard arbor know? So many questions.... This is why I avoid change. Thanks
