  1. Or have a phone that the app works on. Or have a good enough signal or strong enough battery to bring it up. The way I was told, you don't need to carry the paper. I assume you can show ID and let the man look it up for you. I still carry a Blackberry. It runs a protected Android OS and does not use Google Play Store for apps. I was able to sideload the app and get it to work, but it has issues updating. My Spring Turkey Tag did not show up until season was over and it was expired. But the fall stuff came across ok. In over 50% of the areas I fish and hunt, ATT deems it not necessary for a cell phone signal, so the phone stays in truck. And so the license is not on my person.
  2. You can only view the card. You need a card reader or media slot on your computer. I don't think they make a pc to nav unit connection other than wireless in the Waymarine units.
  3. And they all smoked tobacco.
  4. How can any piece of ground be unfit to hike?
  5. Thanks.
  6. Don't plan any treks out to the ole Jay Nixon Memorial, looks like it is closed because of some unknown hazards. http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/greitens-administration-closes-jay-nixon-state-park/article_1d353f97-8515-5885-9fb3-a1589a413c55.html
  7. 1 year, 2 months, 3 weeks after surgery and day one of cancer free. Went in for a checkup today, Doc stuck a finger in my mouth and felt around for lumps and said everything is still good. Still cancer free and recovered. As usual, he pulled over an intern and showed them what a good job he did. Visits from now on will just be like today unless a lump or bump shows up somewhere. Life is so very good.
  8. 4 months of Chemo and Radiation has brought him to the completion of his treatments. PET and CT scans around Christmas showed the tumor had shrunk to almost nothing. He will undergo some more tests in the following weeks to find out the final verdict. He is in good spirits and has survived the ordeal. His care at Siteman and Barnes went well. I think we have another cancer survivor. Thanks for all of your prayers.
  9. Going to work yesterday, the radio had the daily quiz going. 49% of people think this should happen on Valentines Day. The correct answer was "Get the Day Off". Seriously, a national holiday for it?? Looks like 100 percent on here take it about as serious as it should be taken. Nobody even remembers the original reason, remembering two slain guys named Valentine by the Roman Church.
  10. I called a buddy a while ago to wish him "happy birthday" since Valentine Day is his too. He was eating Mexican at his fav restaurant. I found her a quick way to get her card read.
  11. Just came across this analysis on Fishing Tackle Retailer. http://fishingtackleretailer.com/gander-mountain-reportedly-preparing-for-bankruptcy-what-went-wrong/ I have been to the market in Jackson, TN. At the time, it was a destination stop for me on the way fishing to TN waters. I found some good deals there on fishing and ammo and always walked out with something. But then Academy opened up locally and I stroll thru Gander empty handed.
  12. Valentines Day, a time for lovers and planting early garden. I stopped by the local Dollar General yesterday to find my annual offering to the better half for Valentine's Day. I strolled back to the card isle and find a love sick youth in his early 20's reading each card trying to find just the right one. Not me, I am a seasoned pro. Shacked up with the same woman for 18 years, battle hardened by a nasty divorce, and wounded by many loves lost, I could pick out a card in seconds. Quick glance at the headings at the top of the card shelf, Boyfriend, Girlfriend, Wife, Husband, Transgender, Si Espanoil. Bingo, I will get her a card that requires her to learn Spanish to find out how I truly feel about her this year. She is sooo lucky to have me on this unholy day.
  13. I cleaned off a raised bed after work today and planted some Alaska Snow Peas and 3 types of leaf lettuce. Its Valentines Day tradition.
  14. I like Academy. I picked up a nice auto inflate vest on sale back in the fall for $59, marked down from $89. Same vest everywhere else was $129. I have found they have good prices on ammo and a good supply. Magellan clothing is not too bad either. When they discount Columbia wear, it can get pretty reasonable.
  15. I see a lot less suckers now that gigging is a sport. Suckers should be upgraded to game fish for protection.
  16. I think it is because they are "rough fish", not to be confused with the pretty "game fish" they like to breed and protect.
  17. I fish TN tailwaters alot. Pickwick Dam is under rehab now, there is an area of concern where it may fail in a major earthquake on one area. Center Hill has a unique area we found trout to be gathered in, looked like a spring coming out of the base of a bluff. But, water from the lake above had worked its way around the dam on the bluff side and made a hole. I don't think there was a plan to fix that, but the other side was going thru a rehab in the earthen part. The dam above Center Hill created a big gusher thru a bluff that made a nice waterfall too. Best way to avoid any issues, just don't live downstream. I have seen many get flooded out along the Mississippi River over the year and the only fault is that they picked a poor place to build a house.
  18. The overflow spillway worked like it was supposed to. I don't think they worried that the Corps were ever gonna lose Wappappello Dam though. It almost went over in 1999, but they sandbagged it and raised the level on the main dam wall instead.
  19. As long as you are "Clark", you are on our page.
  20. There you go, I have never been North of I-70, drove it one time, may have pulled over on the north side to take a leak. But never ventured far from it. That is, once it leaves St. Louis and St. Charles.
  21. That is what I see on my end. His auto correct is messed up.
  22. The simplicity of the bait is the ability to use what is already in your box. I have used both cut Zinkers and the pre-made ones. I think the cut ones catch more fish, only because the Z Man has not come out with the secret colors that work.
  23. I give up, he surely means BPS?
  24. Peters Boat Shop? PBS?? Nothing wrong with Academy Sports, they were the only one brave enough to test the market in our area.
  25. I think Cabelas bought them out years ago when they were a large mail order catalog business. They went away for a while, then came back as retail stores. Funny how most of the majors started out as catalog mail order businesses with one home based retail shop. Cabela's, Bass Pro, Herter's, Gander Mountain all started that way.
