Hhahahahaha, Guess I am in but you will get what you get . Maybe stripped instead of stippled . So the kindergarten teacher is going to tie or is that Ness character going to tie them for her to get a second set of flies????????? BilletHead

Quill, Go for a drive and find a farmer with cattle. They get the tubs filled with a molasses/mineral mix. I am not sure if they turn them back in for a deposit or trash them but guys around here usually have a stack just sitting around. Sometimes they just leave them in the field to blow into fence rows. Easy picking as I have never had one tell me they want to keep them. BilletHead

Condolences sent from the BilletHead's RPS and Nancy, Tough deal for sure. Dealing with the same thing with my mother. Helping he through her daily life. May God bless the RPS family, BilletHead

Hey I ain't no trained chef. Have you posted and made it? If so My Bad Got a recipe ? Need it please, BilletHead

Got to look that one up, BilletHead

Life is constantly in flux. We learn to adapt and we in BilletHeadVille hope it goes smooth for you friend. The BilletHead's

Rick we like the Black Krim and a few celebrities. Something yellow too. Like big rainbow. Cherrys for salad. We have to do raised beds because of poor soil. Have done beans with limited success. Pepper wise do cubanelles , something hot and little sweet ones. BilletHead

Your a good daddy, You should call them the Nedetts BilletHead

WooHoo is right Rick, Got lettuce starts outside last week. Had 100% survival transfer to the outside bed. Have two types of romaine, butter crunch red leaf and salad bowl in there. Prop the covers up on the warmer sunshine days as it gets pretty hot in there. Days like today and at night shut them up. I think they have doubled in size since transplanting. I have twelve of the self watering tubs made up now. Sure hope they work . A few tomatoes going in the house. They are not gigantic like our man Ness variety but doing ok after a bad start. Still awaiting on some ordered other tomato seeds, BilletHead

It all sounds good fellows but where are the pictures?, I will make up for the missing photos. Beef and Bok Choy stir fry today. I like Bok Choy, raw or grilled but this was a first in a stir fry. Heated up a bit of peanut oil and added shopped shallots, ginger and a thinly sliced serrano pepper. Stirred until fragrant, Added in the thinly sliced beef for more stirring approx. Three minutes, In goes thick slices of Bok Choy stems, Stirring up another three and then slivers of the tops, Cook these down still stirring and then add sauce/ thickening of Beef Broth and corn starch stirring until thickened a bit, Bowl up and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro if you choose and eat pretty healthy, Says it will serve two to three. I can tell you we ate the whole wok worth . Next time it will be made with Canada goose or venison. BilletHead

Good report and pictures John, Congrads Daryk on your catches of course to you and Livie too. Oh and be sure to tell Livie it was fun she being the go between while we were texting and I was giving you a ration of crap on your guys way home. She's a good sport besided her and I didn't want you on the phone as you were driving back to FollyVille with corned beef and cabbage waiting , BilletHead

Mediocre for me too and yesterdays wind proved just that. As far as fishing in the wind my good friend Brad says " you have to be tough when your stupid" . This day proved he was right . BilletHead

I can see it now when they get back. What Happened to my disposal Glenn Sweetie? I think it died baby. What killed it honey? Lead poisoning . Mrs. BilletHead is laughing at you Wrench. She is used to coming home from work to things i mess up during the day, BilletHead

Remember Wrench how our old daisy's we used to shake them , then bounce the stock onto the ground to shake up the bb's into the slot to align them up? You do realize that is not needed on your new rifle . Scoped should last longer now buddy , Billethead

So most sites I read daily are now paying a tribute to Lefty Kreh. Like most of us fly fishers we have heard and read about him. I watched his fly casting videos to learn. I did not realize until the last couple of days how intertwined he, Flip Pallot and Jose Wejebe were. This morning I started looking at videos and step by steps for his Deceiver pattern. Many of these are based on his fly but I wanted to do "his fly" . I finally found the fly he came up with in the 60s and here is what I tied up, Did it while it was raining here in BilletHeadVille. My intentions were to fish it today. As the sky cleared the wind came up. Up enough I almost did not go.. Grabbed the 7wt. this fly and pulled on rubber boots and off I went to some ponds. The wind blew hard, did not know how hard until I got back to the house. First place has three different ponds. Hit the first one that is pretty small and narrow. Had one hit and that was it there. Looked at the second and it was murky and the largest of the three. Passed it and hit the kidney or L shaped pond. Wind gusting pretty well now whitecaps now lapping the downwind end. I knew with the wind blowing this would be the end to warm the quickest so this is where I went. At the bend it gets narrow and I could with the wind to my back I could get the fly out there "kind of". If I could get the back cast half way and get the line going forward with the wind it would sail out there. Today the graceful and pretty part of fly casting went out the door . A dozen or more of this mess and I finally missed two hits in one spot. Next cast and the first bass was landed. Not big but a fish on the new tied fly and the first Deceiver I have ever made, Then another bass from the same spot, More casts without a hit and then a move to another spot. This time I had to cross sideways to the wind direction. Oh my gosh I am a glutton for punishment. To get where I wanted the fly to land I had to quarter into the wind. By the time it hit the water I had a unbelievable bow in the line on the water, add the waves and you can only imagine. Missed three and finally hooked up with another, Had enough with this place and headed back to the truck. Took rod apart and headed back home BUT on the way I looked across the field towards the pond where on the last two trips back there had caught on the fly 42 bass and 10 bluegill. Turned into the field and parked. The farm field the pond is in the middle of had been disked yesterday. What rain we had was already dried on the field surface and I could see dust being kicked up. What the heck I thought as I rebuilt the rod and then trekked across the dusty field. Wind even worse I thought stupid is as stupid does as I got to the ponds edge. Wind to my back I stepped into the edge of the water in my knee boots until I felt the leak I have in them and took a step back.. Four more bass and some really bad casting I was done. A line of foam on the downward side of the pond bank where the waves hit the shore. I thought not too bad for the conditions and said a thank you to Lefty and his Deceiver. Then thanks for what he showed all of us in this sport. Todays mission accomplished Back to BilletHeadVille I went. Checked the weather page. Wind 26 mph with gusts reported 41 mph, BilletHead

How many of you guys are there now? I am not sure what you call you all. I am teetering through several names. "The air gun militia" , "The Tree Rat Pack" , "The Bunny Brigade" , "Team dinosaur destroyers" , " Starling Slayers" or " Pellet Brothers" to name a few. BilletHead

If you buy it Wrench I will pay shipping with insurance if you let me try it. BilletHead

Learned to fly cast watching his video.

Good deal Daryk, Thanks for the report . I have seen that same guy at Bennett Springs a few years back. He seems to be a pretty good fisherman, BilletHead

Russell, Coming up for me OK. https://www.swpa.gov/generationschedules.aspx BilletHead

And Spider-Man undies that for some reason you like to show off . BilletHead

What's that saying? "Teaching old dogs new tricks". We are still learners. Just takes us longer to learn as we get older, BilletHead

Whew! Thanks for changing it back. Remember you are the boss and we know that but thanks for giving the squeaky wheels a bit of grease , BilletHead

Good report Ham, Fishing with friends and catching, That was a good day for both of you! BilletHead

Best comeback of the day!
