You are right about that. I am glad to live here. You and I have a friend in common who passed. Richards wife is Australian but she has dual citizenship. She told Richard and I we wouldn't like living down under and if we aren't careful the states could become that way.

I had no idea this was going on across the big pond, I know what one of you think on the forums, but what do the rest of you think? Britain's lifetime smoking ban set to become law | Reuters

Springfield got some real damage in case some of your don't already now. A friend of ours in Walker. Totalled three out of for of his vehicles. El Dorado springs Fugate motors had all their stock . Local was Sunday evening around here. Two tornado warnings put us in the shelter for 30 minutes.

Yes, happy Anniversary @Oneshot1 !

You are still a pup. I was 18 in 76.

I was telling Pat about this thread. She hasn't been on here in a couple weeks. She told me when I kick the bucket, she is going to throw a big Party! So, hear me out I'm going to fix her. YOU ARE All invited! 😉

I'm cleaning squirrel for eating and it is no trouble to snip off the tail with garden or kitchen shears. They are bone in and all you have to do is salt the butt of the tail. Takes seconds. In the mid to late 70s I bought my first ambassador, Lined it up with Dacron line with no mono leader. You just did not need it back then as you probably don't now. After ice out I would throw and slowly retrieve #4 and #5 Mepps spinners dressed and plain. Caught many big bass doing that on farm ponds.

Two pretty cool items. These were found cleaning up our mom's stuff after she passed. I am sure these came from my Grandpa Horn. The crow hunting recore is dated 1953 and when I tried to find out about the Herter's Famous quail calling record it is about the same date. Now I have found out much more about Toad Woodward and crow calling. This is from a town not far from me, Lamar Mo. I have a good friend down there and was born there. He has a bunch of brothers and a sister. Toad and his brother were still around when he was a kid. They were married to sisters Nan and Fran which my friend Doug knew. The Woodward brothers were local characters known by about everyone back in the day. Doug asked me what I was doing with that record and if he could buy it. Of course, I said no he could have it. He wants to give it to his brother who remolded Toad's house for his wife. Doug's Brother Stan also knew Fran and Nan. I couldn't think of a better place for it. Funny how things come together. I have no place to display the herter's quail calling record so if anyone wants it for their man cave or hunting cabin you can have it. Both are in good shape and playable.

A couple of years' worth. Easy to do and if over 50 shipping is paid.

Pat says she is just taking me out a rolling me over the side. She wants to keep using the boat.

I just love bread baking morning. Everything bagel seeded sourdough is becoming my favorite. VID_20260427_085545807.mp4

Just how many hives would you draw the line and start using a lethal method. Bees are generally considered livestock. Don't know what the MDC thinks about that.

This afternoon, Sous vide venison back strap with blueberry sauce. Boxed rice and ooof more wild asparagus. This box of blueberries was so tart like really tart. Pat just put them in the freezer for later. Later was today and with some sugar turned into a yummy sauce.

Interesting, have you heard why?

Oh I know a guy who has!

Congrats Jeff! Nice fish for sure.

I'm thinking this is a glitch. If it was that high, it would be making the news.

Bad enough I wouldn't want my worst enemy get them, I take it back maybe I would.😉

Well she had another big fistful again this afternoon. Frankly I am beginning to get asparagus overload 😂. Look at this pile with mashed potatoes and whole fried crappie. Actually ate too of those fish.

We have a couple patches that we now bypass because of that stuff.

Pork butt, 7 AM yesterday morning made and applied rub over a mustard coating. Put it in fridge for 12 hours. 7 PM last night an hour to reach room temperature. Into the pellet grill at 8. I woke up at 2:30 this morning and it had reached temperature. Wrapped in foil for remainder of cook. 7 AM took off and into a cooler for another hour. Pat pulled meat and I had breakfast 😀. Before, after, pulling and breakfast. VID_20260416_081444561.mp4
