Wow Daryk! Good fish and happy birthday to all of the tribe.

Yes less crowded.

No out of the area for a few days.

Pat and I take this as an insult.

Yessir. IMO bees have a better chance learning to deal with mites.

Amen, Treatment free for me also. Yes do loose a hive or three. Just part of it.

I do!

A bunch alive lurking around the house. Some in my leg hold traps, some in my sights predator calling. One get a squirrel at our bird feeders and on right behind the house get a rabbit ten yards out the back window. I like them.

We have. To add to that Travis was asking how I made the one I gave him many moons ago. It hit me then I did a step by step.

Me too Ness.

Big mepps 😆 in ponds right after ice out.

I don't like them and they can give a nasty bite liquifing the area but sometimes leave them alone because they a good at other pest control. When I put out bee frames in the fall for The bees to clean out the assisan bugs are all over the frames catching bees and eating them. I do then knock them off on the ground a smash them.

Nice! Pat and I have been eating bunches of sweet corn the farmer neighbor friend plants and lets folks pick. Nothing that long but fat ears, do fat ears count? Now to the Caprise salad. that is what we had for supper tonight except a giant one in big bowls. Tell the misses Pat just pitched all in layers and was not eye candy like Kathys plating.

Good deal for the hearing impaired. As I nod my head 😂.

Pork chops are yummy!

I never said we should camp or trespass on private property just float through. There are places on larger rivers where you can camp. A big no on launching without permission through private property.

In Wyoming you cannot even drop anchor. Those residents own the bottom of that stream.

Nope

Wood duck grilled and bok choy grilled. Topped with blue cheese, halved cherry tomatoes and bacon.

They sure are trying to get as close to a straight American chestnut as they can. I know there are plantings south of here somewhere but it's not published where it's trying to be done. I know one thing after three years of drought my trees are loaded with burrs. Limbs are already bending from the load. I might even let a few stay on the ground to share with the deer and squirrels.

I have not either but we both know that they were. The first nations people (Natives) did use the streams and rivers for trading and travel that is for sure. Much easier to paddle a dugout than to travel through the bush from place to place plus all people's lived by water sources. This is a fact I know villages are on big rivers where they intersect with smaller rivers. Then in the smaller rivers villages are again at a intersection of a big creek, then another village on the big creek by a small creek. So on and so forth. These people had to have water. Water is where it is and that is where they will be. Water is life. Water was the interstate,then highways, then secondary roads, then dirt roads and trails to us. IMO for what it's worth water is a travel system and a trade route. Modern man changed that.

Many records.

I thought about Mike right away. Thanks Phil.
