  1. They were already petering out at the farm this week. Seems like they have a short above ground life cycle.
  2. Looks like a Merc 4 stroker hanging off a toon to me. He loves those things.....
  3. My vacations are weekend before or after a summer holiday, or off season before Memorial Day and after Labor Day. That time in August between school start and Labor Day is good. Last weekend on Spring River, one other RV and 6 or 8 campsites. Memorial weekend was booked solid. I will be on MDC ponds this weekend for bluegill. Looks like solid rain all week anyway and everything is muddy.
  4. That sewage up there has turned all of your cicadas green?
  5. Its a big lake. How big of a boat do you have? Little boat may be a problem. I would think the upper ends in the skinny stuff would be ok for fishing, or the river below. Boat ramps tend to get crowded fast there from what I have seen. I was there for a weekend for a few years ago, and found that there is not alot of online info around. But it is always worth the trip to explore. My rule of thumb, if its a holiday weekend, find something secluded and hide from the ones that only do it on a holiday any more.
  6. Was by the farm today and they were buzzing everywhere. I could hear them over the mower and muffs on my ears. Could not tell if mower was making noise or bugs. I mowed by one bush and one lit up at my head, I started looking for a rattle snake. Not uncommon to see one on the farm. Really spotty. Camped on Spring River this weekend, you could hear them, but none in camp. Driving along a ridge today between Couch and 11Pt river, bugs flying all over. Marble Hill seems to be a hotspot too.
  7. Up and muddy, crossed it on way to Spring River yesterday. All rivers down here are now.
  8. Hopefully its just your overactive hormones from looking at the pics of that playboy bunny you keep on your phone.....

    Bug ID

    Yes you do. But if I had a tongue like that I would have lost the whole arm, not just a chunk...

    But, did the seed take? Holstein Human Cross?????
  12. Its a Dodge, probably did not spend much on it.... Could have got a good walker for that kinda money.
  13. Amazing how long it takes them to cure out. Even once they get colored up, still soft like molted crawdads for several hours. Birds having a feast.
  14. Plenty of lizards at farm, gray fence lizards all over in wood. Seen several fat ones ready to lay eggs. A few of the slick skinks too. Never liked them, had them dart in house when you open door.
  15. 50 miles east of the farm near the Mississippi River, nothing.
  16. In the golden years, you don't get to fish. But if you get the 4 on the checklist, you wake up to a new day..... Most forget about the rest by that stage. Oneshot is still on top of his game...
  17. He lays irrigation pipes too....
  18. Drove around the farm and pulling game camera chips. Places had bugs and hulls hanging from every blade of grass and vine. Around the house in the area where I found them yesterday, the bugs had increased 10 fold. Free'd a little bird that had run into the chicken wire trying to get one and got stuck. Hulls all over the ground in the new mowed grass. Seriously thought about gathering a mess of them and seeing how they taste. Most were fresh and still soft from molting. Some said they may taste like shrimp.
  19. Worth looking into. May get the dog crap out of my yard and cats to quit using raised beds for litter box. Don't think it will do much for the local stupid infestation. https://www.thespruce.com/grow-schefflera-plants-inside-1902771
  20. And what is this magic tree? I could spread them all over a local town of fools and see if it solves any problems....
  21. That Fudge from Uranus must have some growing powers. Kinda like manure.
