Fishing with a M.D., doubt if we will have anything around that will try to kill us. He keeps the bugs off, I provide the personal defense. Gonna hit a small lake we looked at when I was in recovery, seems like there may be some crappie there. Then down to Pickwick for the spawner bass. It has been the worst week so far for me.

Word. I am heading to TN in the morning.

I unplug them and put them in a little ammo can from Harbor Freight when charged. Chargers came with a quick disconnect so I don't have to take lid off battery box to charge. Trying to figure if its Factory Matte or not. I used a rubber eraser on the lettering to rub them off and it made a slick green finish where I used it.

Boredom for the most part. Thinking about building a rod box on it. Trying to decide whether Rhino Line interior as is or add perforated flooring. The ribs don't really bother me walking around like I thought they would. Start working on the paint finish next, dull and faded, chalky. Gonna buff it to see what that brings out, then decide what to do with exterior.

He was aquitted on false charges in office. It's really a shame he can't make Congressman resign. It needs new blood with sound morals and ideas that reflect the needs of the country as a whole.

Does Trump really have a party. Draining the swamp means to clean out party lines. The President is seldom the cause of our ales. Congress and the House make alot of poor decisions, spend alot of time harassing POTUS, and waste all of our tax dollars on petty projects. They never seem to do anything good for the USA in the short or long term. They never can balance a budget, they have no financial responsibility, and vote themselves a raise ever time it comes up. Term Limits for both is the only way to solve the problem. You should not be able to make a career as a politician, and certainly not millions of dollars. And I mean all parties. Obama's career was only about 10 years long in public life, Trump will be only 8 unless we can find a way to keep him longer.

Trump has caused some thoughts of depression with me. I struggled with the thoughts of how we suffered thru bad Presidents before him, knowing now, it can be better. I have boughts of sleeplessness thinking about those who want to replace him are suggesting communism. I have to work harder now that the country has a growing economy.

Second on the Inertia system. I suffer from a tweaked nerve on the second surgery and radiation that goes across my right shoulder compounded by scoliosis to the same side. I noticed last summer that flinching was affecting my accuracy and heavy recoil was pounding me shooting rifles. Looking at a fall duck season, I bought a Stoeger 20 with the Inertia recoil system. Different pulse than what a gas operation gives and still delivers a pretty good punch shooting target loads. The box said put 200 rounds thru to break it in, I made it 10 and bailed on the idea of duck season. Stick with gas operation, or better yet, try several other guns before commiting to one.

Funny thing. Around the east part of the state, I always see women mowing during the week. Always wondered why that was, local thing I guess.

3 years ago May 4, I started my 6 week stint. Maybe they just don't like me anymore.

Performing a little study here. All that are out there that have went thru Radiation Therapy for Cancer. Have you noticed that ticks are not a problem any more???? 3 years ago since the radiation and I don't think a tick has bothered to latch on to me. Maybe it my new spidey sense and I detect them crawling on me sooner. Sunday, I waded thru the same stuff checking game cams with my buddy and he had several ticks that stuck. I did not even see one. The SOBz used to swarm me every time on the farm before, between the tick dropping Great Pyronees dog, the tick magnet horses, and all of the lousey tick infested deer spreading them all over. But, zapped with 6 weeks of radiation and I seem to be repellent to ticks. Buffalo gnats still swarm me with vigor, mosquitoes still like to drain me. All other low level invertebrates like to bother me. But the lowlife tick seems to know something and stay off. Not that I am complaining, just trying to find the upside from getting zapped beyond Chernoybl at close range. And performing a little scientific study.

Semi V, takes a wake a little better. Should be a great ride.

I just stood in the back yard and pee'd, hope they got a thrill. Neighbor frowned at me, but I don't really like him and his dogs.

I still think that lake has potential. And cottonmouths.

Get ready for the next round, China has invested in our agriculture pretty heavy, especially the Pork Market. That's getting ready to fall.

Its the real comspiracy theory that has been taking place all along. Finally, we are free from China again. Roll over Nixon. Bad move Bush 1. Would be a good deal if it happens. We need to make our own stuff and be independent of others.

Wonderful, manufacturing boom in the ole USA. Sorry kiddo, get ready for factory jobs. No more setting around the house working from home.......

Still popping here. Check your internet speed. https://fast.com/# May have gotten a virus or malware. Lots of people with free time on hands leads to them.

Save me a deck off the old Murray, mine is getting pretty rotten. The Briggs engine on mine is still running strong, bought it used for $125 10 years ago. Change oil, blow out air filter, change a belt or battery. Pretty rugged. Still has a choke, starts every year. But the deck is getting rust rot. Spindles still good, tranny strong. Need a narrow deck to work around the trees. 54" Cub Cadet Commercial at the farm, whole different beast there. Like riding a dam mule, can't figure out which way it will go.

Great story, what happened to the other 80%? Shovel ready jobs?

Debt can only grow so much until we go bankrupt as a country. Then we become "third world". Who do you think will step up and "Bail the USA out"?

I have not seen much about "loans". I don't think there will be much payback. Just like the last time. Funny little turnback from the Supreme Court upholding the Congressional promise to fund the costs of the Obamacare debacle. Insurance Companies will "never" lose money.

I got a haircut today, feel much better. Found someone willing to practice cutting hair wearing masks as a trial run to opening up. I showed up in full PPE, steel toe boots, hard hat, safety glasse, hi vis vest, and N95 mask. 3" gone, just in time for Pickwick this weekend.

Illegals don't have health care, so who bothers to test them...

I am not sure there should have been a bailout. Our kids are going to have to deal with alot of debt that will come due some day. Everyone needs to be financially responsible, self, business, governments. The political ploy of bailouts should not be allowed.
