Jesters she will be paying dearly . Believe me! I have been out this morning. No rain but sunshine. Forty degrees. Things are so wet though I am soaked to the bone, cold and Arthritis is beginning to settle in my knees and they ache. Someone is going to pay. Clothes in the dryer and a cup of hot coffee I may go back out and set in a blind? She may be guiding the BilletHead

Get out of bed buddy, Crawl under that plastic and huddle with your babies. They say you have to do that nekkid for it to have full effect . Borrow the neighbors dogs too. BilletHead

Yes Deadstream and thank you for asking. I will get you the info, BilletHead

Not only that the hand dug wells in the watershed went dry. BilletHead

Actually I herd it was caught by the original developer of the Ned rig. His name was Fred but his middle name was Ned, BilletHead

Just got back from the Missouri 2017 Reel Recovery program. Again held at Westover farms. We had nine participants and ten river buddies. There were memories and new friendships made. Good food and fellowship among all. The participants, We had three fishing sessions so each of the buddies got to take out and fish with three different guys. First session was short about an hour and a half. I greeted the group and asked who drew the short straw. Dan said I always end up short. I grabbed him and said you got me then he laughed and we grabbed a rod and headed towards the water. Dan had fly fished before and new his way around the long rod. he mostly kept it out of the trees . Not much casting in the garden section of the stream and the fish cooperated. This guy was a story teller. We shared stories as he caught fish. We brought thirteen to the net and missed several. Then there was the call for lunch and a break. Dan kept saying one more cast and that led to another and another and so on. He did not want to stop with thirteen. He could not reach the sweet spot. I said let me have that rod and flipped it to the spot, handed it back to him as the indicator went under and just like that we got to go to lunch, the last pair to get in line . A couple shots of Dan, Lunch and a break brought us to session number two. I asked Jeff if he would like to go out and a smile and a you bet and off we went. Jeff had his own rod and had been casting flies since he was fifteen. The garden section had been beat up pretty bad all morning and I asked him if he had anything in mind? Nope what do you think he asked me. I told him I knew of a place on Dry creek that was packed with fish. We peeked over the edge to see a bunch in a deep pool behind a log. I said we would need to get wet and he said I am all about getting wet and we bailed in and Jeff began to pound the fish on streamers. He caught fish all afternoon up to six in the Evening when we quit, A good night of sleep and up the next morning to rain (today). Breakfast and then a short session before lunch and closing ceremony. A tiny bit of blue sky showed up for a second and I grabbed Art and off we went. I asked what he had done the day before and what he wanted to try. He said he wanted to work on his casting and catch fish if he could. We worked up to deeper slower water and worked on what he wanted. He was somewhat slow and too easy on the hook set and we lost some fish. Even the slow drift I seen he was lacking on mending. We worked on that too and then fish came to hand as rain got harder and lightning and thunder was going off. We picked up looking like drowned rats. A nice light lunch and closure. New bonds with new friends as brotherhoods formed. A few tears too. Dan thanked each of the three he fished with for listening to his stories! BilletHead

Ugh, Bummer city there Ness. Calling for 39 here tonight. Everything planted here now. Have one of the big beds of tomatoes under cover. Hoping all other stuff will be OK. I left BilletHeadVille at dark thirty Monday morning. Not far from the house truck registered 36. Then going through Hermitage just after daybreak there was frost on roof tops. When I got home this Evening beds looked swampy but plants good so far. Over four and a half inches of rain total in the last week. Two of those inches came last night and today. BilletHead

Just figured out I can do this from my remote location . Girls can get it done. BilletHead

Thank you Mrs. BilletHead for sharing. Would it be OK if on a public forum I say I love you . I will post pictures later on tonight when I get home. And people she ran the weed eater and mowed the yard too. I should go out of town more often, BilletHead

She has forget her password. I am not spilling the beans so hope she can get one reset, BilletHead

She has a story. I have been out of BilletHeadVille since yesterday morning. Will not be back until tomorrow late so no pictures as she doesn't know how. Hope she will chime in, I am proud of my wife, BilletHead

Yes it is thank goodness. Most all of the tomatoes are in, the rest may be by the end of the day. 37 degrees this morning. Most plants look ok but the Marconi red peppers do not. Droopy and kind of sad. We covered everything but the lettuce. BilletHead

Ha! I tend to listen more to Stacy Harris and the goat cheese lady. Buddy T is kind of scary , BilletHead

Homegrown and wild meal, Charcoal grilled mallard, Steamed wild asparagus topped with Asiago cheese and wilted black seeded Simpson lettuce from our garden. Life is really nice here in BilletHeadVille right now even though the yard is a swamp, Yea some seven deadly zins zinfandel too BilletHead is foundered right now!

Yea baby, The lettuce is coming in! Will be wilted, on the food thread some black seeded Simpson . BilletHead

Pretty neat Stein! Thanks, You will not get away with that with the eastern variety of turkey in areas they can be hunted. What are those you have up there? Merriam's ? Just found out, The wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) was extirpated from Nebraska by 1915, but thanks to successful reintroduction efforts beginning in the Pine Ridge in the 1950s, turkeys can be found across the state today. Reintroductions included three subspecies (Merriam’s, Rio Grande and Eastern wild turkeys), as well as a hybrid between Merriam’s and a game-farm variety that was found to do well where earlier releases failed. The hybrid birds proliferated and intermingled with the pure strains as populations grew. Turkeys in the panhandle and Niobrara River valley are most consistent in showing plumage characteristics of the Merriam’s subspecies. The wild turkey is the largest upland game bird in North America. Adult Merriam’s toms taken in the fall season average 18 pounds and adult hens average 10 pounds. Hybrid birds can be heavier, weighing more than 25 pounds. Looks like you have the cross that have the game farm variety They are on a farm . BilletHead

Our Son worked there during high school. He would come home covered in food and grease and looked like he had rolled in it. Said it was interesting in front of the counter and behind the counter. Also had a guy I used to work with and his family that ate there all the time. They loved the cafeteria type plates. The buffet stampede! We would have pot luck dinners at work during holidays. You brought your own plates and utensils. You guessed it he and his rather large family brought cafeteria plates. It was a trip trying to figure out where to sit as when the line formed to fill plates you would not want to be behind his tribe. There were times when you got to the food you may not get what you want . BilletHead

I was so glad when our golden corral went belly up in our town. In the first week our town lost five thousand pounds . Mickedees had to build a new wing for overflow, BilletHead

Chief is trying to derail the food thread. I like crab and have never got to really make a meal of lobster. BilletHead

Man she sure is skinny, well at least you make her look that way .You know I am having a hard time responding on here while the phone is going off as some wise guy keeps texting me . BilletHead

Yea right, At the local piggly wiggly? So I will come clean on teasing Ness about his Gal Pal. He actually has a girl friend . I have seen a photo of her. Not sure how he landed the pretty lady? I think she likes to be hidden because I have seen Ness too and am beginning to understand why she is hiding and not wanting to be in pictures with him. Ness the sugar daddy, yep makes sense now. BilletHead

Pffft, How do we know there was a second plate and that she was even there? More Smokescreen ! BilletHead

I have been looking for an excuse to get one. Good idea Mitch! This might help the decision. I bet the neighbors were mad when he borrowed their Brittany bird dogs and got them skunk sprayed too. BilletHead

Shoot for all we know he may not be telling the truth about the Girl Friend. Might even be using the neighbors back deck for photography purposes. That would explain why he has not refinished it yet. At least for use of the deck he should do it anyway, Billethead

Snagged what Ness has failed to tell us is he has to wait until his Girl Friend gets dismissed from class this afternoon to ask permission if he can share details. The Iowa post is a smokescreen. Ness just where the heck did your salad come from? Is it Organic? My Salad I had for lunch came from my garden. . Organic and I have been watching over it like a mother hen. BilletHead
