I knew what it was all the time, end of life for that bulb but I had a good time messing with Pat about it before I told her what was causing it.

Glen you should really go spend some time by going to an oncologist with someone, actually with someone you love. Then go with them through treatment, surgery, chemo and radiation. Not only to support your loved one but to see others in each place doing the same thing. Success story right here in our household. Then we have the ones I know relatives included that think it isn't real and denial, denial, denial thinking like you seem to do. It can't happen to me so consumed with addiction until it's too late. Then we watched until they are consumed with cancer. All that time it wasn't by my tobacco use it was because of something else that everyone blamed it on. Are you saying everyone dying of cancer or being it's imaginary they should just give up and not fight?

@ness

I have you covered, easy and will post. !

I guess gravy was the theme yesterday afternoon and this morning. Fried young squirrel with mashed potatoes and squirrel gravy. Wilted lettuce too. This morning biscuits and chocolate gravy. Yes it's a thing not overly sweet as one might think. This gives me the hankering for Red eye gravy another southern treat.

Pat's side of the bed has become possessed, I think we need an exorcist to perform an exorcism. 😆 VID_20260508_130744.mp4

Does it make you feel old? Worth Flutter Fin - MidWest Outdoors Old Lure Flutter Fin Worth Bait Co. | eBay

Another pretty funny deal. I found a worth company flutter fin lure. I laughed and told the guy it looked like my mustache. Handed him the two dollar bills the asking price. This was made and marketed in 1959 ,1960. This thing is almost as old as I am. I got to thinking if a jitterbug and this flutter fin had a baby this might have been the origin of the whopper plopper. 😆 It originally had a dressed treble. Being a fly tyer I can fix that.

Stupid traffic in our closest town. I can only imagine what tomorrow will be like.p

Last week I started a post on small game and about me selling squirrel tails to mepps. Then it morphed to mepps lures which morphed again to old bait casters. I bought a couple ambassador 5000s in the mid 70s and fished for bass fish using big size 4 and 5 fox squirrel dressed spinners. I still have those two reels plus more. Fast forward to the Nevada mo city wide garage sales weekend. Found an Erie skillet at a good price. Next stop a church rummage sales for kids for a church camp. As I walked through I found an old ambassador case for three bucks. On the next table two four screw ambassador 5000s whut in the world one with a one dollar tag and the other one dollar fifty cents. These are really nice unlike mine that now have aluminum flat bottom boat rash plus rash from the bottom of old pickup beds. I was kinda curious about dating them because I never even thought about it before. One search said four screw were pre 63 and others said pre 67. One of the reels has the hole in the cap both sides for oiling from the outside. If you are wondering we gave more for the church camp outing. I felt double blessed this morning. To all of our bass fishing friends back when I used white Dacron that had some black in the line. We did not use mono leaders super braid and caught so many fish. I even used an ugly brass snap swivel on the end of the line.

Beast! The fish is also. Well done Dave.

It might be true she could have been picking it up off the ground at the rodeo. 😶

I agree everyone has a choice and you have the right to choose is you want to use tobacco products or not. Some food for thought though, Cigarette Smoking | Smoking and Tobacco Use | CDC Then two more things. We are taxed to death it seems. We don't cheat and pay our fair share. This being said the uninsured and the underinsured bills are being paid for by taxes we pay. Look it up it's all there. I'm just saying this where it applies to tobacco related product use not everything. Why are our insurance premiums so high and getting higher? Because of the uninsured. Again, I am only using this to where it related to tobacco product use. Look it up it's all there. Hospitals are now charging more for care to recoup costs and negotiate with insurance companies for those higher rates for those who can pay for insurance. I only bring all of this up because I would like to not lose another friend of relative to a tobacco related death. I really hope we might be turning a corner with education. It's going to take some time because we all remember how many of the older generation partook of tobacco and use was passed down to younger generations so on and so forth. BTW our house is a scent free zone except for a fart now and again. Farts happen and we all do it.

Those work really well. We have one.
