The annual banquet is tomorrow night in Springfield at the White River conference center at Bass pro. We attended last year at it was great. Three course meal and cash bar. Raffles and auction. Lots of neat stuff including trips. I was asked to tye some temperate bass flies. Finished them up yesterday. They will be in the silent auction along the side of others work. Tickets still available.

With your background on research let's get those graphs made 😆.

For everyone that goes broke there will be another with a dream to take their place. I wonder if like other fads if it will eventually level out or slow down slightly. I bet there has been a study or graph made for the popularity by years since it all started.

Thank you Jim

Here too taking over even rural areas.

They a pretty but the flowers stink, bees use them but nothing really substantial. Invasive to the max!

Let's see, over the years Pat has taken a deer out the bedroom window and a turkey out of what we call the family room window. From that same room I have taken two turkeys and one deer. The wise choices were that all were taken legally during the appropriate seasons. Note we put our time and miles by wandering the woods and fields. Lots of time actually for what we harvest. What we do is healthy for the mind, body and soul. The mindless trips to Walmart is not. I dread the day when that becomes the norm because of age which is knocking at the door.

Ah the trials and tribulations of city life. The only rule is there are no rules in BilletHeadVille. We do try to make wise choices though. 😆

Same here getting too much shade. Downsizing this season here. More on this another time.

Very nice!

Hey buddy actually really well. Had one loss last fall and three other dead outs over the winter. I really do not think this is too bad out of 18 hives. One more looks a bit slow at the entrance, but I did see pollen going in it. All the others are going crazy with pollen going in. Very busy. If we could kust get a break in this drought cycle, I could get a good harvest in the fall. I have a jar of honey earmarked for you when we head east again to fish Bennett.

Interesting Jeff, Contrary to popular belief I still use conventual tackle when targeting Hybrids that I can't get to with the fly rod or same for other species in bigger lakes for the same reason. My gear is old by new standards like in red ambassadors made in the late 70's and other bait casters 80's through the 90's. I still have a Shimano bantam if anyone wants it on here for a blast to the past. It's really hard to imagine setting this new reel and trying to throw a lure in the lighter category. I hope someone on here jumps and tries one of these and gives us a report.

I can just imagine my breeding, migration nonbreeding and year-round areas. Now that would be an interesting BilletHeads map. 😆

@ness a pot of potato soup it was with sourdough toast.

Dang that looks good. Now I want soup so maybe it will be soup today. If not, we have leftovers!

Water, water, water. It's the first thing we had after mother's milk. It is important to us and gold standard like in there is nothing better for our bodies. Yes, there are electorate and vitamin enhanced drinks but unless you are an extreme sports person we don't need it. You should not get thirsty but drink to keep hydrated. This being said I am bad at this like in terrible bad, but I am trying to get out of that habit. I might suggest dumping in a zero calorie unless you need that added benefit. this makes me drink more but also be sure you can pronounce and know what ingredients ar in that packet.

Prayers for all involved. Sorry Man.

Or robbed and damaged by the meth heads. Not just Grizwilson and I either. Pretty common over there.

I was hoping you would share with the other OAF members. Sorry again I could not go and happy you did well!

I just knew the anal fin might come into play. You identify gurus are very anal about the anal shape and anal spines and anal rays! You tell em John 🤪. Spock and BilletHead find this fascinating.

Proverbs 16:24 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb. Sweet to the soul and health to the bones.

I don't either. Outdoors is the cheapest form of entertainment there is. We have it pretty good here. We buy our son's combo hunt and fish each year and he is now 45. With the cost going up and up we could have bought his Lifetime at an early age and been way ahead.

They can but it can benefit when you are very young and at 60. At a certain point you are exempt on fishing. Being Pat and I were buying combos we were way ahead to do what we did at 60.

Just a few more years you can get the lifetime. We got our combination for each of us. From now on until we expire or get to where we cannot go any longer, we are set.

Safe travels man, and we are looking forward to your reports. Have fun.
