I did just take a look at this thread. "Barely Legal" was a skin mag from the 80's by Hustler's Larry Flynt. Good looking flies.
-
Something goofy going on with River Guages. I see black on Jacks Fork in icons but gauge sees dropping river. I think data screwed up. The storm was spotty. I was going to the Current above Van Buren for a boat ride on Friday. But the data is inconclusive.

I just beat my head against the wall for 20 minutes waiting for the stupidity of humanity to get worse. It works, it does. Just have to roll with it.
-
We only got a whiff here. Lucky for me, I don't have to cut my way in to the farm tomorrow nite. Flash flooding brings all kinds of stuff down stream.

It's hit and miss. Weekend's there is usually a crowd around watching out and camping at Turner and Whitten. 142 at the Narrows has easy access to road and I did have vehicle broken into on a 3 day float from Cane Bluff.
-
Whitten is kept up for float camp traffic by NFS. Cane Bluff access is county road till near the end, then NFS. Recent rains may have them rutted some but should be navigable in a sedan. Not all of the crackheads that hang out there drive trucks, have to keep them smooth. I would not leave overnite at either place.

I run a route trail on gps, but I never keep track of distance. It's on one of the screens. I use my point on either a topo/road map that Garmin (which was originally Delorme) produces or USGS topo that is downloaded into program. Forestry service trails are on there too.
-
Airplane mode when there is no signal or off. That keeps it from overheating. I toss mine next to my truck gun in cover to keep crackheads from breaking winders. Cover up the change in the console too, they go after it too.
-
Somebody woke up on this one. Cell phone coverage sucks on most of the streams, I use offline maps for navigation on the cell phone with a GPS and maps to figure things out. But, MO rivers change and distances change. I know of 2 rivers within 20 miles that have opened up new / old channels during floods that have cut a mile off of the trip. GPS and Offline maps don't show it, not quick enough on updates, but I can find out where I am based on GPS signal.
-
I used it for geocaching too, back when I had free time. I still carry it mushroom hunting and mark spots where I find them. Actually had to break it out a few years ago on peck ranch when I was turned around on some trails. I had them downloaded on there. Now, Garmin Explorer is on my phone with offline maps. They work great when cell is offline. Gps signals are stronger and more accurate than they used to be. Still have Delorme paper atlas behind seat when all else fails.
-
I use a magellan topo gps system. Helps keep track of where I am to see how much longer I have to go. A person can get tied up in good fishing and forget that darkness comes every day. The topo map on the gps I have shows the long holes and ones to paddle thru to make time for fishing the best water. The magellan system is outdated, but still works on 2 double AA batteries all day.
-
My mile 0.0 is usually Bootleg off 21. We did Terre Du Lac to Leadwood Sat. Fishing was slow, about 4 hour float. Lots of mine vents or tunes in that part. Best part is Irondale to Mounts. Never been past Leadwood until down at St Francois State Park.
-
That was outside of Sikeston yesterday in a hurricane storm. Must have seen something tasty and decided to peck. Looks like toes are kinda curled too.
-
I would try and get a second opinion. Siteman in St. Louis does great work. Insurance company should not decide if its worth fixing. Doctors should.
-
Those are growing up fast. Good job. I have some sharktails to try out some time.

Did not take long to heat up today. Had to dive in a few times in the lead infested waters of the Big River to keep cool. Was off the stream by 2.. Was a nice afternoon yesterday, low humidity and nice cool north breeze for fireworks and BBQ on TDL. But, no jeans.

Sharpshooters to kill 450,000 barred owls

Owl tastes pretty good if you cook it right. May donate them for Feed the Needy. -
Handy as pockets on a shirt…

That leaves a funny taste in your mouth. -

Bought one a few years ago for Dad. He was having problems crawling up on front of tractor and filling it from cans. I have several now. Some for gas, one for water. I suck the water off the boat covers with one when it rains a bunch. Can use them for Hydraulic fluid too. I used one this weekend to suck the old gas out of generators and refresh with new. I pull the gas out of the Bass Boat in the spring and use it for mowers with one. They get the job done for little money. -
Both would work well. Bundt pans were Teflon coated. Can't find them anywhere any more.

Leave the dog tied to the tree at the old place?

4 More Years to the Magic Day. Thanks

That explains it, but the Bundt pans I remember are scalloped. You sir are using an Angel Food Cake Pan.
