  1. Sadly, there was a fatality on Beaver this weekend. Saturday evening, 2 jet skis were moving along in single file, the one in the lead stopped, but the follwing JS did not see the one in front stop and rear ended it killing the driver of the lead JS.
  2. Rain? What's that? It didn't even get cloudy here, let alone rain. No rain in sight in the forecast either. But, glad to hear you got some, I'm worried about pheasant numbers in KS this year if this heat keeps up.
  3. Supposed to cool off to 92 tomorrow, then start climbing to near 100 again for the foreseeable future.
  4. Yep this heat is starting to take it's toll. Getting the weird shaped tomatoes myself, and when they ripen, they ripen unevenly. Plants have pretty much stopped growing, and the leaf wilt is getting bad. Beans are about done, I think I'll spade them in. Squash is still doing well and the cantaloupe should start getting ripe in a couple of weeks (i hope).
  5. Dang it! That lake was one of my favorite nekkid swimming holes, guess I gotta go elsewhere.
  6. Yeah, but are they any good to eat?
  7. You nightfishers are doing well. I'm an early to bed, early to rise type, but when I see the bags you folks are getting, I wish I could stay up all night and fish.
  8. Sounds like a good idea to make it mandatory for night tounrneys that you must leave anchor lights on or get DQ'ed.
  9. That arch photo is funny!
  10. Nothing wrong with enforcing safe boating regulations, but most deaths on Beaver are people who drown while swimming.

    Found some hornworms on the tomato plants yesterday.
  12. I caught a 10 lb. channel last spring on a Senko, and it seems I catch a couple of channels a year while bass fishing. Never caught a flathead however.
  13. 102 here in Bella Vista yesterday, ya'll should drive down here and enjoy the cooler weather Weatherman last night says we have set 4 daily records in a row for high temperature for the date.
  14. I don't know how people can afford to gas those things up and run them up and down the lake all day.
  15. Wow, $285 for no lights (when fishing)? I can see a $50 fine, but $285 is pretty steep. Over on the Arkansas section on the BBC board some guys are complaining about the AGFC fines, one guy got one of those no light fines while fishing, but fortunately for him it was only $170. Another guy said he got fined for not having water IN HIS BOAT for his dog, didn't matter they were on a lake. Another guy got nailed for not having a throw cushion. You'd better have everything per the book if these guys pull you over, cause they ain't issuing warnings, they're going for the wallet.
  16. Jeb and I watched 6 people trying to unload a pontoon on Table Rock a few weeks ago, had their truck practically in past the rear wheels, 4 people pushing, took them about 15 minutes to get it launched.
  17. I have to think that next week that lake is going to be full of boats.
  18. Excellent!
  19. 108, wow! Has to be a record for that date if it hits that mark.
  20. A lot of folks swear by hotdogs for cats.
  21. The authorities still have not issued a fireworks ban here in NWA. Like JD is seeing, small oaks are dying, and the underbrush is turning brown in places. With no relief is sight I can't understand why no fireworks ban. Fireworks stands are still open also so folks will be buying fireworks and once bought they're going to want to set them off.

    They aren't as bad this year here in NWA, I heard a reason, something to do with last years weather but can't remember the exact reason. I didn't see any grubs this spring when I was turning over the garden, which is unusual. They do like the pole beans, but they aren't bad enough this year that I need to do anything about them.

    Yep,. that's why I quit using them, just seems to bring more of them in.
  24. One thing about shakey head fishing that is VERY important: When fishing them you have to sing that Old KC and the Sunshine band song - "Shake, Shake, Shake....Shake, Shake, Shake....shake that booty......Shake, Shake, Shake...
  25. It does sound like a great idea, F&F you'll have to let us know if and when these solar shingles become practical, if they ever do.
