I like the Australian guys better. Looked easier. I break off my albertos all the time. I'm using 10lb brain to 4lb flour. sometimes 8. I know I'm probably burning it when I tighten it. I've started using a surgeon's not just b/c I know it better. Not very smooth but I don't break it.

what are we comparing that to? That's a pretty typical NFL playoff number. usually, 97 of the top 100 rated TV shows are NFL games. I'm not exaggerating. What other live programs are streamed?

I used red and tapered up to the jig head. about 2 inches long. I do want to tie some unweighted for use in shallow water. There are some riffles at RR C&R section that are too shallow for weight.

I thought about eggs, but I can't find my McFLy foam. I did tie some mega worms on 1/80th oz heads. I tied 1 San Juan style, but I don't really like it. I might try again as I think I just got too close to the eye. The mega chenille is a little hard to work with.

I bought 100 size 10 scud hooks from Temu. I don't know why. I've tied plenty of san juans and squirmy worms in many colors. What else should I tie with them? Are they too big to be Taneycomo scuds? Thoughts?

Someone who doesn't have their own place and just crashes w/ friends/family. No permanent residence. They are technically homeless. You see this a lot w/ families, which is why kids in poorer communities move in/out of schools so often. They crash somewhere for a few months, wear out their welcome or get on their feet, and move to another school district. It's awful for kids because there is no educational/curricular continuity and they end up behind and below grade level. By the time they get to HS, the fail out and/or drop out and the cycle continues. You also see this a lot in rural communities. We think of homelessness as an urban problem, which it is for the loner, but in the rural communities, it looks a lot like what I described. I've known of families literally living in garden sheds or trailers w/ no running water and kids in elem, MS or HS in the Springfield metro. I'm sure it's a state-wide, nationwide issue.

Springfield has a large homeless population. Roughly 2800. That probably includes couch surfers as well as the "campers".

Do you know how he passed? Is his family taken care of? Mortality sucks.

@netboy Man, your life... I'm glad you are enjoying your retirement.

This will sound stupid, but when I moved to the house we're in now, robins started nesting on our downspouts but no one else's. I always felt like we must be doing something right if some creature wanted to start a family in our yard. We have at least 1 nest every year and my neighbors don't. Who knows? Maybe they know something we don't.

He's too old to wear a hat like that. My $.02. But yes, a very lovely family. Are you sure she's yours? 😁

I remember they player "Cortez the Killer" in the encore and did an entire solo just with feedback. She would move around the amp and change notes based on where she was. It was a big orange hollowbody. Very cool to me.

I saw them in the 90s. It was a really good show.

No they didn't. I noticed when I was making breakfast. I got there about 10 anyway. Fish everywhere. I land 5--4 browns and 1 rainbow. All but 1 above stocker size, so it was a banner day for me. So many people there, but I can understand why. It was a lovely day, and of course, brown trout everywhere.

Going to give it a try tomorrow. Looks like the water should be off by 10 a.m.

It's not. You can definitely go to prison for child abuse if it ever gets figured out. That's the problem with any kind of Dr. shopping. Without the other Drs knowing you've already been to 3 or 4 , it's hard to catch.

Seems like it would be worth the $4 to give you pleasure and keep you safe, once you're well.

Why don't you use the handicap-accessible spots in the park?

Very cool and very jealous. What were you using? Are they still running the partial unit all morning?

It's no different than the TV/Radio tests we grew up with. Except that now most people younger than us don't watch TV or listen to radio. They stream it all via their phones. Then did the same test in 2018. And they need to practice so they don't tell Hawaii and N Korean nukes are inbound again or used to actually communicate to a community and dangers (again like the Hawaii wildfires) are on the way. Frankly, the distrust comes from people buying into BS conspiracy theories, which are incredibly easy to avoid.

I personally enjoy the ones out of the boat or when you fish the shallow water. IDK how practical it is to set up a tripod in the rebar riffle, but those videos are the best in my opinion.

Not so much b/c I've caught trout and catfish. It's not that foreign. But the big scales just seem extra weird for some reason.

I don't know but those big scales on the carp freak me out.

Yes. Good luck and I hope you get some relief.

The crappie and white surprise. Sounds like a great day
