Well done John P. Thanks for the report and photo, Love seeing everyone's pictures, BilletHead

Hey Duane, Thanks for the report. Nice hat too BilletHead

Just saying Wrench the better fishing you get your bride into! Isn't that right Justin? Happy wife, happy life, BilletHead

Amen Rps, thankful we are for so much. Thankful for friends and enemies on here. Hopeful for a good south zone starting tomorrow. Also hoping to rub more of a good season to that feathers and fins fellow.

Neat Justin, Mrs. BilletHead says that is her kind of romance BilletHead

Loose lips sink ships, This is why I am ever so careful who and where I am able to take people especially on private ground, yes you can have the same problem even on private. I have even encroached on some of BirdWatchers ground but with permission from him even though I had been granted trespass from the landowner. AND I would take him to my other spots if we wanted. Trustful friends can be hard to find. If you don't want company don't spill the beans. Even without telling you can be seen or heard and give up your spots. Speaking of public ground Scott I got some intel for the place you like to hunt West of me, BilletHead

HAHAHAHAHAA I going into the hole on this one. BilletHead

Glad you got it picked up Ronnie. Money back guarantee if it doesn't work for ya, BiletHead

This won't cost a bit. Leave wallet in the vehicle, on second thought I left my shopping list with Jim

Ronnie stop by the fly shop sometime in the next couple of days. Billethead

Uh ooooo, Mrs. BilletHead just giggled about that and said Sadie needs to give him a talk about such things. Never busted one on a motor but have blown up a couple on pinch points next to rocks. Just one more cast and another inch or two and BLAM there goes another one!

So are you saying it will end up in a tree?

Why yes we do tie on some of those humpback popper hooks. You know that shad colored single hooked popper you have in your possession? Yep you have one of those hooks. Maybe you should send it to Ronnie ? BilletHead

I don't beg just pout like a big baby, BilletHead

I know that Wrench, I have some Gavin blockheads and they work well. Just got to give the Flysmallie a ration of crap. Foam for heavens sake, BilletHead

foam, Foam, FOAM ? What is that you say ? Blasphemy! Foam has no place in the home made popper world! HA And to think you are my popper hero, BilletHead

Ness Ronnie is so busy with all the irons he has in the fire. I for one think he will make a statement when he gets one done. Ha I may have to leave him something at the fly shop to hold him over. BilletHead

I think it is the way to go Ness. Many possibility's. Dremel out a chamber for a rattle? I'm working one up for a spinning rod too. I'm not into that much anymore but I have a friend who I think will throw it. It will be a popper wit two trebles. If it turns out I will share a picture, BilletHead

A few more observations today, Painted some more up this morning. Thought I would be able to bar them with the copic air. Well not for me, not steady enough and hard to pin point the air flow. Hard to explain but as seen in the copic instructions and videos the paint stream doesn't go right out the nozzle but it catches the felt pen tip and shoots at an upward angle. Anyway I can't control it very well. Soooooo I rob Mrs. Billetheads hair pic and use it for a stencil. I may be in trouble when she gets home but it is easier to get forgiveness at my house instead of permission. Here are the results of the work, Now to working up more blanks. I have found that when centering the slot for the wire form the slot sometimes doesn't come out dead center on the blank. So I did something else. Now making a two piece blank. Make equal size sides and hold them together and do your face work (dremel the cup out) . Unclamp and lay in your wire form. Do a test clamp tight so that the form seats into the balsa. Unclamp and if all looks well glue it up and squeeze the crap out of it. Much cleaner clamp and more easy in my opinion, Did two in no time this morning and they are about ready to paint, BilletHead

Oh no she sleeps in the bag with her head covered up all night. When the alarm goes off she wiggles out and pounces on the bed to make sure we get up. There is no snooze allowed. Ronnie you got that right, BilletHead

I know when you met us you had it figured we weren't just right I knew something was coming. You think Orion is spoiled? Sadie has a sleeping bag, BilletHead

I knew what you were getting at Lee. 15 last night and calling for 8 tonight. Not going to mess any with it until it warms up towards the end of the week and then take a peek. As Lee said it is a pretty big patch and Wayne yes should be two larger lights in there but I did not prepare. I know one thing. We sleep on the screened porch during the winter, yes you heard right outside. Mattress warmer and electric blanket. Tonight's single digits will run us inside for one night. Well with the snow on, reflection and refraction from the light made a neat glow on the flag pole. With the stars too it was really neat. Coyotes howling were icing on the cake. For those of you that believe I shoot them on sight isn't true. Truth be known I should have a light on that flag at night. Got to figure that one out, BilletHead

Bless you and your family ciRe. We are truly sorry and if there is any consolation in this be happy you were with him. He and you will always have and remember that, Mr. and Mrs. BilletHead

Ok good thing and instead of you getting your bowels in an uproar I met you getting your panties in a wad. I am amazed on nine pages and we have covered some scared guy shooting a cougar all the way to Fins getting his panties in a wad. I love this place and like everybody on this forum. You all made me smile the last few days. Thank you, BilletHead

There you go Fins. Making something out of nothing. Who on here said something about shooting an eagle? I'm going to fight mine for a pellet trout and Justin doesn't carry a gun. Your getting your bowels in an uproar about nothing. BilletHead
