I don't know the Falcon boxes -- may have to give them a look. Plano doesn't seem to be able to make a box with a good, durable latch that stays shut if you bump it around. Also, the boxes with moveable inserts aren't very well made. Dividers slip out of their slots and sometimes need trimming to make them fit. The lid doesn't fit snug down on top of the dividers, so loose hooks will slide over the top, stuff gets snagged, etc.

Sweet, in sooo many ways.

There was just a thread on here a week or two ago about titling and registration, and the guy got steered wrong by the state people answering questions. I think I'd go through the official web sites of the various MO agencies and learn as much as you can before calling anybody. Good luck, and if you've got any pics I'd like to see how you rigged up that pontoon boat.

Saw that, but didn't realize it was Jamesport. That poor kitty is a goner.

Could be an immature Nessie.

I thought it was 'teets' when referring to animals?

I don't think mountain lion attack even makes the top 1,000 dangers to kids. Hell, watching Jersey Shore is more 'dangerous'. Mitch, I was just funnin'. Not calling into question what you said, but mostly directing that toward Laker67's suggestion to shoot the thing. I think it's unfortunate the way this seems to be playing out. Folks have got it in their heads that these things are an imminent danger and that shooting them is ok. There's still folks that say authorities deny their presence. I can see this edging toward hysteria. I don't know what, if any, educational efforts have been put into this around Chesterfield, but I think it'd be nice to see some effort put towards that before it gets out of control.

Gunfire Erupts at Neighborhood Pool Neighbors were in shock today when a large tan animal ran by their neighborhood pool prompting several residents to draw weapons and open fire. "It was like Iwo out there," said Chet Happenz, a longtime resident and World War II veteran. "I don't know what the hell it was, but I know it doesn't belong here. There's kids all around!" Local housewife Tanya Hyde was outspoken in her ridicule of local officials. "That was a mountain lion, and I have to see some action taken before somebody gets killed. These sit-on-their-hands do-nothing people need to fix this." An estimated 35 shots were fired by residents, but the animal appears to have escaped unharmed. No tracks were found as the entire area is paved. Chesterfield Shocked at Killing of Beloved Dog For more than a decade, children at local grade schools were delighted by Benji a loveable yellow Labrador Retriever who frequently visited students and performed a mixture of tricks and service dog tasks. "I love Benji. Why would the bad man do this?" asked a teary-eyed first grader. Benji had been searching for missing child Timmy Norton. It appears Benji had located Timmy in an abandoned well, marked the spot with his dog collar, and was running back home to get help when he was shot multiple times. There are no leads in the case.

Ttransplanted my maters, cukes and some more letuce and cabbage today. Sposta get chilly tonight, so warm-season stuff's covered up. Sowed more chard, beans, radishes, lettuce. Filled some gaps in the beets, radishes and lettuce. Transplanted all the herbs to pots. Extra maters (for the family) and all the peppers back in the cold frame tonight.

I was wondering when someone would bring that up LOL.

Texas holding the conference hostage? Bill Self continually crying? Staying in B12 was a huge risk? KU had no options if B12 fell apart? Conference alignment is critical for a university? No penalty for leaving? C'mon, man. It's hyperbole, spin and half-truths. It is what it is -- greed, plain and simple. Mizzou wanted more, couldn't get it and jumped for the money, flushing your pride, regional ties, traditions, and history. You don't fit down there, you never will. Short-term gain, long term bust. Enjoy the ride.

You knew when KU played MU you were gonna have a game. If one was 0-9 and the other was 9-0, it was still gonna be real fun.It was gonna be packed and it was gonna be the buzz around here all week, where it's about 50-50 KU/MU split. Folks flying their flags, wearing their t-shirts, tails hanging out of their trunks, talking smack at the grocery store, church, work, wherever. 'God help me I do love it so', as Patton said. One of the things I find so annoying about it all is the giddy Mizzou administration and some of the fans. It seems the priorities are just jacked up. But, that's the way sports have become. Compare and contrast:

That sums up the way I feel about it too.

Nice fish, sweet ride and PBR. What a day!

Cewl.

JoeD -- I think you should self-limit your late-night posting BilletHead -- sounds like you got some bad info, but did the right thing in trying to help out the guy that bought the boat from you. Live and learn; onward and upward.

Yeah, and the Big 12 didn't fold up. Al -- I think the money was the icing and the cake. I can't imagine the money was just a happy accident out of Mizzou's search for stability. I think this trend will continue. And, as teams scatter they'll destroy the great traditions and rivalries at the expense of the fans and lesser sports. A lot of the things that are great about sports -- the touchy-feely ones -- will be lost. They're not something money can buy. Saw this commercial today and thought it was good: http://youtu.be/A63XjuA8u3U

Geez -- You think a convoy of fans are gonna tootle down to Gainesville just because it's warm and the girls are tanned? What about the cost and time involved with all that travel? How many Vanderbilt, Alabama, Florida or Georgia grads do you run into, much less talk smack with, in St. Louis? There are great football traditions all across the country. It's a stretch to say the SEC has the best tailgating and biggest crowds. Rivalries are built over time. You're starting from scratch. Nothing wrong with being excited, but dang...

Dear JoeD, I like the first one best. I like the first one best. I like the first one best.

Heck, I'm just sayin' -- I'm not going anywhere. I'm a huge fan of man's messing with stuff when it makes me happy. I'm glad we've got rainbow trout, brown trout and pheasants around for my amusement. And when the fishing's slow, watching otters messing around ain't too bad

...but, we're always tinkering with things and don't always get it right. We have jacked up the balance of things to the point that the only way to get them back would be if all the homo sapiens packed up their stuff and moved away for a couple thousand years.

BTW, I got some of the permetherin (Sawyer's at WallyWorld) that was suggested by BilletHead and made me a set of mushroom hunting duds. Nylon pants and long-sleeved shirt, socks and ballcap all wetted down then dried. 100% DEET on hands, neck, etc. Shirt and pant legs tucked in. Nary a tich or chigger.

Found these down by the Missouri River this morning: ....more specifically, and I'm happy to share the exact location, at the City Market. Ca-ching!

I think that girl's got some 'splaining to do too.
