Nice pictures Al! In the words of Creedence Clearwater Revival "Lookin' out my backdoor" And then he followed off one of his two girls he had been shadowing for the morning. Both of the ladies were bearded. Would love to the lens you have on your camera Al, BilletHead

Deep Dish in a cast iron skillet, Never tried this and today I decided to. Made the dough and let it rise once, pulled it rolled it out slathered some butter on it then rolled it up, folded it and let it rise again. When the Mrs. got home rolled it again and placed in the skillet. Added the goodies including some garlic sausage we made and had stuffed in hog casings. I sliced them into little thin rounds. Loading it up, Ready for the oven, Out of the oven and cooling, Should of maybe let it cool more or less sauce. Had to eat it in a large bowl , Cooked the pie in a vintage old cast pan. The pan was a crusty mess before I refurbished it. Finished it last week when it was re seasoned. Here it is right after the pie was removed. Nothing stuck and all I did was run some hot water in it, scrubbed with a synthetic scrubber. Rinsed, dried on a stove burner and a thin spritz of cooking oil wiped on with a paper towel. Love my old cast iron and have three more old skillets to do. Will be trying one of your guys flat pies one of these days, BilletHead

I finally figured Mitch.s remark out, He is wanting you all to catch one on the HD craw. Yes, yes that its it, BilletHead

Oh a rock crawler or custom painted original wart or the Ned. Actually didn't Phil or Dwayne catch one on the Ned? BilletHead

Love it Ronnie but you realize half of that is your doing :). Part of the Mrs. turnaround happened twenty some years ago when BilletHead Jr. left the nest. Separation anxiety. She thought as much as I was out doing things she would be alone. Could be too there isn't much shopping in BilletHeadville BilletHead

Gongrads Foghorn, Sometimes when a knot gets jerked in our tails in life we look at things different. I think you and I can agree on that . Took some time to introduce the Mrs. to the fishing bug. That and to make her realize meat did not have to be cooked to well done. Now it is her watching me and saying hey that has been on there long enough, got to have it red and not pink inside! BilletHead

Well yes I think I do Wrench, Cannot figure it out. She doesn't question me much, acts like she likes me? Should I be scared? Asks for nothing but to keep the mower and weed eater in running shape so she doesn't have to fight to keep them going all summer. When it comes to fish and game cleaning she is right in the middle helping. We went to the river Tuesday and got into fish, she fished and caught. Started rigging my rods as I got the boat set up. Part of the time she just watched me fishing. I ask why are you not casting? Response I just like to watch you fish sometimes. Did I marry a stalker almost forty years ago? As she gets ready for work this morning I hear this. " Hey the wind isn't blowing too bad you should grab your fly rod and go to X pond for awhile" I am going to ride this wave as long as I can . Should I be worried? I really don't know why she likes me so much? I do feel guilty at times, not guilty but feel that way. Maybe I will cook today and have her dinner ready when she comes home from work, BilletHead

Don't limit yourself to fall ones either. Their is quite a flush of summer mushrooms in damp years. We are setting up for a good one! Enjoy the fungus among us. BilletHead

Well I guess we will give you the benefit of the doubt this time. Because of the typo I was worried you were making a pass at the future mother in law too. Got to be careful on this foray of forums. There are some real sharks just waiting for someone to make a mistake. They will tear into you like a great white after a harbor seal. I am actually afraid to say anything anymore because of them. Now if the new girl doesn't read the forum it is only right you come clean with her. You may refinish the deck first if you want to, BilletHead

Good going Ham, I can see now Mrs. BilletHead will want to add food coloring to her biscuits. Thanks a lot buddy. BilletHead

Boy that hole you are digging is getting deeper and deeper. I think the trip to Iowa is just a cover story to get her across the state line. That makes more than one law enforcement agency getting involved. Just what is the age of consent in Iowa?

After further searching, https://nature.mdc.mo.gov/discover-nature/field-guide/hexagonal-pored-polypore BilletHead

I 'm with Gavin on this ID https://nature.mdc.mo.gov/discover-nature/field-guide/dryad’s-saddle If so it is a pretty early sighting but this is an early year for everything. BilletHead

Fly of the day pretty little Clousers, Carp like em too, Then there are the vultures waiting for us to die , I started to get hungry mid morning. The Mrs. says I packed some sausage biscuits. She really helped me out stuffing one into my mouth as I stripped my Clouser back, Gray over white and chartreuse over orange they like, BilletHead

See RPS I have a wife my age we eat the same stuff and hopefully if we go out of this world we will go together, now Ness on the other hand needs to eat healthy so he can still spend many years with his younger girl friend. Actually we eat like this from time to time to offset the times we eat healthy :). Life is a balance , BilletHead

Ok I am old but learned basic math. So if last summer the future mother in law to be was 45 just how old did you say the new GF is? 25 maybe? What I see here Mr. banker is the new GF has her a sugar daddy . I have seen a photo of the new GF and I would not guess her more than 21 . BilletHead

Stir Fry looks good Ness! Went to the river today and brought home kept some white bass and a walleye for dinner. Found a few more morels to go with what we had left from the other day. Fried fish and shrooms and side of more jalapeno potato salad . BilletHead is full right now

Thanks Rick, Marty

A trip to the brewery and a trip to the whippy dip included in the batchlor party? This trip is going to be EPIC ! Got to start planning. What were the dates again?

That is quite a quick report, thanks. The real questions that needs to be answered though is does the new mother in law like you? If we get invited to the wedding is there a travel allowance since we my have to drive to Iowa and I guess I have to ask also will there be a fishing trip involved for you bachelor party? No car pooling , don't want to take the chance of riding with Joe D and listen to him bash your back porch , BilletHead

Venison back strap medallions that had been marinated in some teriyaki ,sesame oil,green onion,garlic,ginger and crushed Thai peppers. Then seared on the charcoal grill. Sides of jalapeno potato salad and yes morels again this time sauteed in butter, BilletHead

You know you have found a mess when you have to haul them in a pick up bed , well maybe a ATV bed , BilletHead

After finding a few just had to do some snacking . BilletHead

Better hunting and foraging today ! Fifty four morels, Found some wood ear also. I keep telling myself to pick some to add to hot and sour soup but haven't yet, BilletHead

Stinkin' bass and Stinking bass, love it an with you all's permission will be using this allot , BilletHead
