Car seat anyone?

I saw that one shoe on the highway. I always wondered what the story was 😄

.

Had to look that one up. Remembered the story once I read it. Here's a link for the good of the order: https://gardenandgun.com/feature/the-legend-of-bo-whoop/ I've had De Shootenist Gent'man on my Amazon wish list forever. It's now on the way.

Again, they've been reading OAF

Saw this in another forum and thought I'd start it here. Me: Fly rods. I think 4 of them over the years. Two came out ok, one I never found and one I ran over when I went back to look for it in the dark. Also my beloved HP financial calculator. I heard it bounce off the roof and saw it cartwheeling down the road in my rear view. Some scratches but I used that thing for about 20 more years before it died. Now I have an app on my phone that looks and works just like it. HP 17B II with RPN. Left my wallet on the bumper once. Rode around back there for an hour or so before I remembered. So, what about you?

Good old Costco

These strips were good and right at 1-1/2 inches: With roasted taters and a loaf of ho’made sourdough

Not a huge filet fan -- I think I've had more bad ones than good ones. But -- the best steak I've ever eaten was this filet: I only got a couple bites, because it was my wife's meal, dang it. It was a filet that was wrapped in bacon with bay leaves between. They'd also done something with rosemary. Not strongly herbal, but just enough to enhance the beefy flavor. This wasn't very thick -- maybe 1-½ inches to start. And those potatoes were outstanding. I don't remember what I had for dinner that night

Can't give you number, but I know it when I see it

I love fly fishing for trout in small streams in beautiful locations, particularly the mountain west. There's the clean air, the smell of the pines, and just being right there in the middle of it all. The silence, but for sound of the water. I really enjoy reading the water, strategizing the approach, figuring out the current, and getting a fly in the right spot with that perfect drift. I get real satisfaction out of handling a tricky setup well and fooling a fish. It's always best when it happens on top, but getting a nymph down deep into an impossible spot and getting one out is great too. I also love walking a field with my two Brittanys watching them do what they've been bred and trained to do. It's a real thrill to see them snap to a halt and freeze up on a bird. It's also a thrill (sometimes a heart-stopper) to flush a bird, then make the shot and watch a good retrieve afterwards. Much of my enjoyment comes from the anticipation and planning of a trip to a new place. Once there, I like to spend some time getting to know the place -- which is always more than just where to fish or hunt. I like talking to the locals, listening to what they've got to say abut the area, finding the best place to eat, etc. It's always about the total experience for me and whoever I'm with.

Just kidding, BTW! Those are some great fish!! Not really pi$$ed but jealous.

I think I can speak for a lot of us: This kind of success pi$$es a lot of us off!

You caught me! 😄

Got this recipe from a magazine years ago. Called Hawkeye Chowder. Onion, celery, corn, creamed corn, zucchini, potatoes, butter, cream. Not low cal:

That reminded me -- a friend's dad's company had a suite at Kemper Arena and I saw Styx on their dime. Late 70's.

I guess probably Woodstock was my most famous concert. I was pretty young and don't remember a lot except my mom Sunshine was covered in mud and kept getting the stroller stuck. Paul McCartney and Wings at Kemper Arena ~ 1978. Fleetwood Mac (with Linsey Buckingham, no Christine McVie) at Sprint Center 2013 Saw Eagles at Sprint Center a couple years ago. I popped for really good seats for that one. This was after Glenn Frey had died and they had Vince Gill and Frey's son to fill in. So, not the lineup of their prime, but there have been so many in and out of that band that it's hard to really say who 'they' are other than Frey and Henley. They sprinkled in some of Frey, Henley and Gill's solo work. Also some James Gang. After the encore they all left the stage except 70-ish Joe Walsh. He kinda wandered around for a bit, then tipped over a stool, smiled and walked off

I saw it in one of those theaters where you eat a meal and sit in a recliner. I didn’t make it through the movie.

OA references or real ones?

I’m gonna pass on this one.

So good. 'I already get my hair cut at Cotton Corral.' 'I already made like infinity of those at Scout camp.' I'm starting to think @Mitch f and I could get along

Well, I sure as heck wasn't gonna say anything about it

Did a Kansas City Steak Soup the other night. Easy and good.
