  1. I will believe it when I see it. If true, I love the idea.

    What's Cooking?

    I love a good meatloaf. My mother made awful meatloaf. The best tool to cut it was a chain saw. Sounds like you do a similar loaf to mine. https://www.ozarkrevenge.com/2016/10/not-your-mothers-meatloaf.html

    What's Cooking?

    Nancy has felt poorly the last couple of days. We decided not to join the group eating out tonight. Last minute puttanesca style pasta sauce on linguini.
  4. What a wealth of advice. Good advice, too. Instead, I want to suggest a perspective change. If you start now, at 27, you can do what you need to be trained and still be only 30 or 31. That means you have 35 to 40 years to work and enjoy. Now the first few years may be ugly, but later you can make that change. It also means you have quite a while to amortize the cost of that training. My cousin Steve went to school at Conway and tried for nearly a year to get on with AGFC. When they finally did, they sent him to Searcy, where he worked 35 years as a game warden. He hunted all over the world, built a house, and receives an Arkansas retirement check and social security every month. True, he was never rich, but he is not poor. You may need to move, but you do not need to worry about being out of time.

    Left over beef and chicken hash with pan charred asparagus.

    What's Cooking?

    Marinade and dressing - lime juice, brown sugar, crushed red pepper flakes, grated garlic, fish sauce. Added a bit of oil to the marinade, but not the dressing. Salad includes cilantro, mint, and basil.

    What's for dinner tonight? Tuna salad
  9. Table Rock is in transition. Imagine Bull Shoals. Think on Lake of the Ozarks. Table Rock is moving from one to the other. Sometimes the steps in between are not pretty.
  10. It was exterior stuff from me riding hard and putting up wet for ten years. He removed that, but the metal underneath remains remains pitted. My bad. Fortunately is does not affect the reel operation. The reel will be good for another decade now.
  11. That alone makes me want to sell the present boat and move up to a Vexus.

    No pic tonight. You have seen it. Roast chicken with roasted potato chunks and a side of buttered peas.
  13. I followed James' suggestion and used Delaware Valley Tackle. I had the exterior corrosion removed, all friction points "super tuned", ball bearings upgraded, and everything lubed. Total cast $80 +/-. Reel feels brand new. Turn around time 4 weeks. Good service source.
  14. That makes this man feel good. Thank you for sharing.

    What's Cooking?

    Twice baked stuffed potato casserole.
  16. Great pictures. Walleye are the best fresh water fish to eat. However I will agree bluegill and yellow perch are in their league. Crappie are good, but they are are also rans.
  17. Now we have geeks involved. Let's just go whole hog and invite the spotted owl society.
  18. Oh lord! There is now no telling what direction this post will take. Next thing you know someone will post about the new Kansas football coach. BTW, was that a fat joke about your own daughter?
  19. I have called Garmin support. They advised what I expected. The equivalent of unplug the computer, wait 30 seconds and plug it back in. First two steps: update the software then reset to factory defaults and sync. When that does not work (I would say 80/20 against), we go to the next step.
  20. troll motor.mp4 No, my foot is not on the pedal and I am not using my fob to change direction. Shortly after this video, the motor refused to stay on

    BTW, I have posted less lately. Last night was sliced strip steak with seared asparagus and tots. All of you have seen that before. I still read and I will still post the fancy or unusual, but after these many years, I really have only a few tricks left.

    Both are market driven. What is available at what cost? This leads to variation. Buy the choice at either . It will be acceptable. When prime becomes important, go to a local butcher and talk. Think Harter House. If not, both Sams and Costco will have personnel willing to cut what you want. Imagine a 4" top sirloin roast. What they cut will be superior to what they have in trays. People, even there, respond positively to knowledgeable requests. How does a Sunday roast sound?
  23. Gills may be a bit fussy to clean, but they are fantastic table fare. I scale them , slit the bellies and gut them, cut off all fins except the tail, as close as I can to the body (for the dorsal fins I slit along the back bone and try to get them at the source). Then I head and gill them. I lightly bread and pan fry. Backup plan: use Harold Ensley's fish fry https://www.wareaglemill.com/product/ensley-seasoned-coating-mix-2/
  24. Good report! Much information.
