That pic is priceless. I see that at the county line in some places in MO.

Here is a good quick one that is simple, not ingredient intensive, and makes a good sandwich. Cover with Ketchup or BBQ sauce before baking. Cheesy Meatloaf 1 lb ground beef 1 lb ground pork (not sausage) 1 envelope Dry Onion Soup Mix 2 eggs beaten 2 slices bread crumbled ground black pepper to taste 3/4 cup water 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided Preheat oven to 350 F. In a large bowl, combine water, soup mix, pepper, beaten eggs, and bread crumbs. Mix well and add meat. Add 1/2 cup of cheese and stir in. In a 9x5 loaf pan, spread half of meat mixture on bottom layer. Add remaining 1 1/2 cup of cheese to middle and cover with remaining meat mixture. Top with ketchup or BBQ if desired. Bake 60 minutes or till center reaches 170F. Remove and let cool 15 minutes before serving.

Arkansas has a law against it in the books I think on White River and Norfork Catch and Release areas. They are dislodging scuds and other crustaceans generating a chum line to attract fish. It also disturbs the bottom and interrupts the stream bed development. Per the Ark Fishing Regs Chum in trout waters designated as catch-and-release areas, artificial lures only areas and areas where natural or scented baits are prohibited. Chumming is defined as dislodging or depositing any substance not attached to a hook, which may attract fish. One common example of chumming is tossing canned corn into the water to stimulate feeding. Dislodging material from the streambed to attract trout by working or shuffling one’s feet, known as the “San Juan Shuffle,” is considered chumming. Dragging chains or anchors is not considered chumming.

Not much to shovel today, just a little fine powder. On top of 4" of sleet You can drive on just about anything right now with they packed sleet.

Great. But so far, bees just cost money. Making money will be a few years off still.

Al, you must have been really wanting to get home bad. I would have camped at a Rolla Motel.

What is sleet any way, mini hail? 3 inchs of sleet here. Maybe we ducked the ice. 5-9 inches of snow coming around 9 pm tonite. Shame it does not fall during the daylight. I like watching a nice fluffy snow fall. BTW, we had a wind gust awhile ago that shook the house. That snow will be piled up into big drifts when it comes.

Since the pellets are mostly fish meal, it should only make the trout taste fishier. If a smallie is feeding on minnows mostly, how does that affect the flavor?

Inch or more of sleet in a thunderstorm this morning. Changing over to something that freezes and splatters now, 20 degrees.

Lovely, 1/2 inch of ice and 4 to 8 inches of snow coming along with minus 10 wind chills for the next 48 hours. Bored today and the temps were 50. Bees were flying pretty good, even though it was cloudy. Decided to move some Iris bulbs from one bed to a new one. Started digging and run into solid ice about 1/2 inch down. Hard as a rock. I did manage to dry and thaw out a couple of raised beds with glass covers. I planted snow peas and lettuce today. I wonder how long till germination.

Enjoy them while they are young, they grow up too fast.

Some from the good ole days

It sucks to have a little girl. Good thing my step daughter shucked out a little grandson. He turned 5 last week and is my new little hunting and fishing buddy. Hopefully he will stick with it longer. For years, I have always camped with my daughter on Father's day weekend. This year, she did not have time for me, she was working at her new job and could not ask off. Maybe next year.

Across town and not any time for dad is just like her living in another country.

Not my fault, some other poor sob raised his son and did not teach him the great outdoors. He is going to be a small engine mechanic, maybe he can at least tune my boat. She laughs at the fact that she can shoot a gun and has her own, he has not even shot one.

Have a metal fabricator make you some. I have not seen any commercially made as an addon. All I have ever seen came with the boat from the boat shop. Find someone good with metal and have them custom made to fit the contours of your boat.

Bad thing about girls is they grow up and find other guys to hang out with. My little girl was my hunting and fishing buddy till she turned 18 and graduated. Now she can never find the time to spend with me because of the other guy. And he does not hunt or fish. And for some reason he is a little skittish around me when I suggest we go hunting too.

Back to the church, here is an interesting story of a Snowball coming back from the dead. http://www.wjtv.com/story/24845099/holmes-county-man-prnounced-dead-now-back-to-life

I found 2 dead during the snow in Dec and have shot 2 on the farm since. There is no shortage. We do need the rain. Last time I checked ramps on Diversion Channel, there was about 15 foot of gravel past the end of the concrete and not enough water to run or launch a boat. I was looking to get out for some walleye,

No human hands unless the butchers lose one chopping up things. Mini dogs are made of the stuff they scoop off the floor in the processing plant and I am sure they use a shovel.

Hopefully it will thin out the ticks and armadillos. As of last week, 6 out of 6 bee hives have survived the winter. But it looks like we are probably going to get another month of winter the way things are going.

They have been heading north by the hundreds for a week now. They were taking advantage of the south winds last week.

When it is nice and cold in a duck blind, the goo gels and you can just flick it out of the can like a booger. I only eat the mini dogs at freezing temps.

I don't see the jalapeno ones, those are pretty tasty. May have been renamed to hot and spicy since fall. Duck blind staple food. Good for enticeing the blugills that live under the blind too.

You could attach it to the post. I can't attach mp3, I do not have permissions.
