We really need to clone it and reintroduce it like the otters and elk, since they were really here first. It would be pretty cool. I may even sit in a field near Peck Ranch and see them come out of nowhere around dark, if you are lucky in a viewing area....

4 years and 4 months, barring any interuptions.

How in the world can anyone know what they are going to be able to do in a year from now? I can't even plan my day at 11am when I leave the office. Never made it past project 1 today.

I wonder what Mammoth tasted like. Beef or Chicken?

Good thing I never did the FB thing..... Amazing the time I never wasted.

Was that Jesus or Haysus, the spanish version? Amazing photo from the year 36?AC.

Ibuprofen works better for me when my casting arm gets sore. Did you catch any? Doves have been back roosting in my pines for over a week, signs of spring is coming.

Per Valentine tradition, 2 rows spinach, 1 row ruby red, and 1 row salad bowl lettuce in ground. Asparagus beds cleared off. 4 active bee hives. 63 today and sunny. Thick pork breaks on grill

Interesting place, basically a wooded walking trail system thru Karst sinkholes, cave collapse, and natural arch remaining of cave roof. Not real open for viewing the sky, 20 car park lot.

Bring a pontoon and we can all sit on Wappappello Lake and watch and fish.

I have never been there when it was. You could watch it at Lasseters ramp on Spring River in town and trout fish at Thayer. You never know who are what will be promoting it. I will probably be watching thru the windshield of my work car, it's on a Tuesday. Last time I was on leave for cancer and just was outside working on the boat if I remember. I think Poplar Bluff is going to have the longest duration of totality from what I hear. The farm is about 25 miles up the line of the path and work near Cape Girardeau on same line. I will be at best point no matter what that day.

That is pretty well the line. The farm is in the path. Poplar Bluff and Perryville are having big events all day. Looks like Grand Gulf will be in it too. I watched the 2017 one from the front yard, similar path. Birds stopped chirping, everything got still.

Lots of mistakes in this game. That little gal in the bleacher distracting all of them. Whats her name, the cowboy singer?

I always liked the blue ones.

Didn't anyone get out and enjoy the nice weather today? Fishing blowed on the Current River yesterday at Doniphan. Lots of really shorts and a 12" walleye. Cloudy, damp, and chilly all day. But peaceful and minimal crowds. Today, Sun was out and nice for most of the day. Worked at farm all day.

Firewood?

What's the weather forecast for that weekend?

But I needed a prop wrench for the bass boat. Trying to find the one tool for both.

Got one today in the mail. Wrench too big for the prop nut on my 50. No use for a 9/16 drain plug wrench. Give it a try on Current River this weekend on Sat. if I end up skipping the foot in rocks. Never seem to make a run without kissing the shoal somewhere, even down by Doniphan. If not, my buddy may end up with it. Prop wrench may fit his 150.

Seems to work. If you would have hit a 2lb cat, that would be a game changer.

It was getting hairy below 160 last summer. Trees falling over into the channel that you had to run under just right. Big stump yard at end of big field about a mile down been real goofy the last few years, constantly changing. The narrows around the springs were kinda tricky too.

Now you have went and done it, I have not made my own rod yet. I had a custom St Croix Spin Rod made up by a friend of mine. He placed a size 32 wet fly in the rod epoxy near the grip. It was an ultralite and I broke the tip off and retired it to the closet of old friends. Started a Fly Rod project that I bought at flea market that someone else started, never got anywhere with it, think its in the same closet. Much like the desire to build an RC plane, cast my own jigs and bullets for muzzleloader, and crafting my own beers. Even tried to taxidermy a drake mallard with 3 curls that I killed one season, that kit still sits and the bird long freezer burnt and gone. But I could do a rod. I have an old Herters rod wrapper and some thread. My epoxy is probably dried out. If I only had more time.

How far did you run up, all the way to Riverton? River looks pretty good, better than back in the summer and fall. I guess the boat took it well?

The best thing about the 11pt area is a total lack of cell service for miles around. Give him time.

Should be a good day. Almost got mine out of mothballs. Too much to do at farm, those cold weekends set me back.
