I have see scientific reports that say glaciers came down to about the Missouri River and covered most of Illinois. I am sure the armadillos were farther south back then.

That was kinda limp. He could not even squeeze out a Fox News jab or anything!

It must be the heeler in her. That brings out some agression. We have had a heeler in the past that was kid tolerant, but not kid loving. Never had a problem with collies.

That is a shame. What is her deal with kids? That dog should get along with anything. She would go great on the farm, but we have a Great Pyrenees now and don't need another.

Good lord, don't you guys on that side of the state have plumbing? E coli levels are almost what they are on the LOZ. But that is a lake and we are talking about a river. How does that happen on a river? http://www.stltoday.com/news/state-and-regional/missouri/e-coli-levels-high-in-sw-mo-waterways/article_e3c0bde9-22ea-566e-b743-af59d8e5df8f.html

Finally tilled mine up today after a day on the local lake in the boat. We caught a few crappie, the 4 year old had a blast, it was his first time out in the boat with his big boy rod. Planted all my seeds today. Short season sweet corn, okra, beans, more cucs, squash, sunflowers, and pumpkins. The maters are chuggin along, been down in the 40's the last few nights. I have some cucs and peppers coming along too. Taters in the raised bed are knee high. Picking lettuce. Strawberries are coming off at about a quart a day and looking good. New strawberry beds are looking good. I like the mineral bucket idea, I have a source for them. I may need to use them to fill up some empty spaces in the yard. At second glance, those buckets aren't mineral buckets. Where did you pick up the tubs?

Its all of those faboulus reports you give. It is drawing a crowd. Of course, Memorial Day Weekend may have had to do something with it.

Too many trees is causing problems too. The planting of trees where historically there have been few in the west has lowered snowfalls and lowered the water tables and runoff. They have killed off native prairie plants and hurt the animals that require them. http://www.livescience.com/34563-tree-pollution.html

At least it was an honest gigger and released it......

Redear should be starting to bed pretty good. Fish the Enough arm in the trees, there should be a few crappie in there. I have not made it there yet this season. If I was in a yak, I would probably launch from the Enough ramp and avoid the ram fee unless you are camping there.

I have had them raise in the yard in the past, the young ones are pretty cute and fuzzy with leg and the look of small ostriches. They have a pretty good natural camo and they squat and freeze when disturbed. The mother will dart in and out, run around the ground and do the ole broken wing trick to lure you away. If you follow her, she will rise and land and start over drawing you away. Pretty good defense. They will nest in the dangest places out in the open. They like open fields and gravel bars. Of course, it could be a whip poor will nest, I think they nest on the ground. The eggs look a little large for a kill deer.

I did not really get the impression that he wanted them banned, just did not want to get in trouble if violating the rules of the forum. I think that was cleared up a few pages back then it was a free for all. Still a civil discussion, I don't think anyone has a problem with that on here.

Are you sure it was not stabbed by a heron?

Did you see a bird running around squawking at you and faking a broken wing?

Global cooling again tonight and tomorrow night. Had to put a jacket on to drink a beer with the neighbor tonight. Kinda nipply.

Make a ramp like you would have if you load a mower or 4 wheeler into the truck.

I hit some beds last weekend and the males were just starting to come in. Went thru early and did not pick many up in the morning. Went back after wearing the crappie out at noon time and they were hitting crickets. I always seem to do better with the gills on beds on calm sunny days in bright sun. They seem to like sun better than clouds or low light like evenings and mornings.

Oneshot, plant white pines instead of cedar. They grow faster and bigger. Limbs will stay all the way to the ground if you don't prune them. They make excellent privacy and wind breaks. They don't itch when you mow up against them either, long soft needles. I have them planted as a screen around my house where I don't want to see my neighbors. They make good places to pee and snipe on the dogs that stray. They muffle gunshots pretty well too.

I thought 7.62x39 was the AK 47 round, almost a 30 cal bullet. 5.45x39 is the AK 74 round, closer to 556 nato .223 rem round.

The reason it has caught on more is the political movement behind it.

I don't think those rules applied when I signed up for this forum. I guess I am grandaddyed in. Looks like the global warming issues are cover under the false information rule.

Speaking of knots, we are starting to fish for crappie with a 2 jig rig. What knot do you use for the upper jig?

I think the part that Phil does not tolerate is the direct attacks and name calling that usually becomes of these threads. Civil discussion of any topic is usually allowed.

No Wayne, the cause was the glass boat moving at 45 mph and striking a bridge pier that was slightly under the water, causing the motor to fly off the transom into the passenger.

There was a thread on a Bass tour web that mentioned a cable or something to keep it attached to the transom and prevent it from flying around. But and engineer calculated the force applied when it breaks loose and found that mounting was not available. The cables give somewhat, but retain the tension to swing the motor around. A break away would be nice. I think it really should be in the lower unit mounting. Shear bolts that would just loose the lower unit and preserve the transom for flotation and keep the main upper unit from flopping around. But, I am not an engineer or motor designer.
