Duck or Goose burger??

We have surpassed the 80 degree mark here and no fresh moisture. Nothing popped up here this week.

Still too early here, frost last weekend. Temps have been having a 40 degree spread this week.

Planted 2 rows of sweet corn, taters, horseradish, onions and garlic back March when the tornado came thru. It's all coming up well. Raised beds have lettuce and spinach, snow peas all coming along fine. Strawberries are setting berries. Asparagus beds not doing much. I think they burned up last summer in dry spell.

Giving him crap about something is easy enough.

Nice catch. I dealt with numbnuts all day and looking at rain for my 3 day weekend. Yeah.....

He does have a point about that MGD, you need to try it sometime.

I saw that advertised and thought it looked good. My buddy is at Warsaw this week, but I was cleaning up flood damage at the farm. I thought a fly fishing expo in that area kinda of odd, normally you see that in the heart of trout country. Most associate fly fishing with cold waters.

You put soft plastics together in tackle box, they start degraded in one lump of goo. Zman melted a seat cover on a boat in a few minutes

Friend sent this of hatchery from road

Mine were just popping up, gonna let them grow some

Made it into farm today after 8" of rain. Bridge held up, not a "RECORD" flood this time. Had to cut off rootwad. Finish the job next weekend, hopefully not sleeting then...

https://www.imbodenlive.com/2025/04/05/flood-damage-at-mammoth-spring/ I am hearing the hatchery was flooded, road going into it washed out, boat ramp gone. Good thing that train was empty.

Is that the Playboy Bunny? Loosing track on the women here.

Come over my way if you need a shot of water or 2. NWS is calling for Historical Flooding here, 12" possible before it moves out Sat. nite. We are at about 2" before the deluge started a few hours ago. MSHP moved water rescue units to Poplar Bluff today to rescue the ones that need it. I pulled jet boat and truck off farm Tuesday Night and put my 4 Runner back there in case it blows the bridge out. I can bushwhack out the back for a while if I need to.

Sounds like you may have found a keeper. My chemo guy was such a prick, plus or minus 5% that his poison would even do anything other than guarantee me to be even sicker, get long term neuropathy in my extremeties, and other lasting side effects. All of which he laid out on that visit. I looked at him square in the eye and said " I pass ". That arrogant prick said " don't worry. you will need me later then". That was 8 years ago. The rest of my team did the radiation and got the job done. You will find doctors that are there for the money, some are there for the ego trip, and some are there to help.

Is that the evil X wife?

Looks like my old 9.5 hp I had on first boat. Co worker still runs it.

Fugifilms 35mm? Back in the day when you had to adjust the f stop and speed, adjust the exposure.... I was just looking at a video I shot off my Samsung S21 a few weeks back in the jet boat. Miles above what I used to do with the old beta max.

Brave man, I don't drop my shields until the bees are far away.

It's a niche market. Most beekeepers extract the honey and use the comb again. It is an expensive way to make honey when you make comb honey. But I have seen those little dribbles at Harp's, I toss about $100 of those dribbles on the ground when I work hives and scrape off comb that they have stuffed in cracks and between frames. Bees clean it up and put it back where it should be.

Just about the right size. We would butcher a feeder pig on occasion growing up about that size if something crippled one before we hauled them off. Those little pork chops would melt in your mouth.

Funny little Pic from today. Tornado air pressure change popped the caps off pipe bollards but did not take them. It touched down on hillside behind this building in Poplar Bluff

Funny, I was thinking about how the Dustbowl Sucked too. SEMO today in New Madrid area. Been choking on sand and dust all afternoon to come home to idiot cable crew that could not read dig right markers and cut water lines again. Second time this month. Power flickering from ice storm lines that are still weak. Going to Poplar Bluff tomorrow to survey more tornado damage.

Maybe they wanted you to go out and release the valve and help out... We drove to the upper Current River one year on a day like this. Drove down to Parker Access to Trout Fish. Wind blowing all day, had to cut a tree to get out with a handsaw in the truck. Driving back enjoying a beverage, we noticed a glow, the Great Fire of Council Bluff. Took a side road and enjoyed some more beverages while watching the fire jump from pine tree to pine tree. It was a sight to behold, my first up close wild fire. We piddled around long enough and it was getting late. Hwy 32 was opened, but there was still embers and stuff burning away, we hopped out to relieve ourselves and get ourselves smokey. Had a good story for the wives to explain our lateness. "We were fighting a forest fire".
