People die from eating nothing!

When I planted turnips in my deer food plot I would pick a couple little ones. Peel and eat while hunting. @bfishn they are tasty! RAW

Did you know if you would have got the lifetime fishing permit when you were 60 it is included. Yes, I know you don't need a fishing permit now at your age now.

I bet white bass would eat it even if it doesn't emit anything.

I heard it was from honey!

Keeping mom in a constant routine is the best thing. She sleeps a lot. In an hour conversation you will hear the same thing ten times. As long as she does not hurt and suffers, I am good if she outlasts me. She beat covid and a broken hip at the same time. Sad but funny her sister, my aunt that just passed was here three months ago. The sisters got together for a visit. The two of them had a long conversation. No one knew exactly what they were talking about but those two seemed to understand what each were saying.

And we are seeing our potential future. It is getting closer than we think.

Another good reason to see them while you can! We seen that on the news this evening.

Do you think anyone chose to have a colonoscopy instead of going to Woodstock?

To our scientists on here and our closet scientists who don't want to admit it what do you guys think of the bearded clouser being weakly electrically charged? What fish here in the Midwest could possibly be affected by this fly? BEARDED CLOUSER | The Mission Fly Fishing Magazine (themissionflymag.com)

It was a kicking and screaming ha, ha, of the crazy part of loosing your mind. My mom has dementia. Forgets so much and remembers so much of that makes sense. Suffering from it for years and she knows she is losing it. Seems pretty happy and remembers all of us kids. Had it for years but on the other hand her sister my aunt just passed a couple weeks ago. Same thing but hers was very fast. Forgetting so much quickly. Just a stare off into the distance with no focus. Quit eating and did not want anyone to help her with anything. It was hospice next and all that goes with that.

You don't want to know what I have to say about that because you will think I am picking directly on you. I personally know of one aunt from my moms sides family that all are dying young because of the way they treat themselves. Only one has made it to over 70. All but one had a good mind at their age of death. Bingo you have that pegged to a tee. Again you have to take care of yourself to get to that point. When and if I make it to that point, I am ready to go. You know what they say you come into this world kicking and screaming. If you live long enough that is the way you go out.

I totally understand that statement but it's like this. Everyone hears bad things and scream to high heaven, and it spreads like wildfire. There are so many stories that go unnoticed because that screaming does not go on with success stories. It was not too many years ago that people died of all kinds of cancer. They did so silently because it just happened and it was a way of life. If caught early because of good doctors being on top of things and the strides in science those in the past could have a longer life. Way back when mothers and babies died from the birthing process. Go to an old, old cemetery. Look at the ages when people died. It's on the headstones. Then compare to newer birth and death dates. As much as it would be neat to live in the past, I would want to do it now in a time machine only temporary. Would it not be cool to see a saber tooth tiger only to have it eat you for dinner? 😁 Life expediency was not very high.

I remember a two-cycle lawn boy. that thing would wind up like a banshee easy to push and light reminds me of a Wrench two cycle outboard.

I did an experiment once on pure white bass in Stockton Lake up the tributaries. These fish are pure without any influence from stripers or hybrids. On your number two statement on the spasm deal. I found with 100 percent certainly that they all spasm at a point on how hard you squeeze them depending on the size. Little squeeze on little fish big squeeze on big fish. Some go belly up and some do not. I also noticed dingy water lateral lines were faded and in clear water very prominent. In your waters I think it is mostly clear so this is probably an irreverent point to your study. 😁 I do think it is cool that you are so passionate of this fish. Become a whistleblower and get things changed. I have still not seen such behavior on where I fish but only caught fish upstream in your lake below Truman dam. Many years ago, like in 40 years and paid no attention to much of anything that far back.

Bizarro is all I can say. You weren't at Woodstock like @fishinwrench parents, were you? 🤪

After having negative results on the invasive colonoscopes and no family problems with colon problems it's a good test in my circumstance. Not for everyone. It has a very high percentage rate of catching a problem. It first insurance did not want to cover the test but would the more expensive test. Now they will pay for it and cover an invasive colonoscopes if test comes back abnormal. Most of all the option of the box is getting people who would not get a traditional rectum hole colon peek inside Any way you look at it saving a life is a good thing. I did not mind the invasive colonoscopy at all but do not like the prep. As far as the prep goes did not mind the part cleaning out my bowls but drinking that gallon of slick slime is the pits.

Best explanation ever. I have it bookmarked on my confuser 😉.

Had two, not too bad except for coming out of the stuff that they put you out with. Pat says I love the nurses then and she and the girls just have a good time laughing at me. So now the rest of you can laugh at my expense. Now I just poop in the box and send it through the USPS. Now laugh some more. The box works. Caught a friend's cancer ahead (can we all say preventive medicine)? Of time preventing worse damage.

It doesn't hurt much to make yearly check ups. It's like this. There are more people than boats or outboard motors. Do you have clients who do yearly maintenance? What if everyone quit visiting you for that? Ignore everything hoping for the best until their motors and equipment are beyond repair? I know insurance is expensive, I get that, we both have Medicare and a supplement. We do our yearly maintenance, we see doctor when needed. Well worth every penny. Take for example the last kidney stone bout I had one night in hospital and two days plus emergency visits. 23,000 bucks. I had a small deductible already met. Never got a bill for that. Listen up like fram filters, "You can pay me now or pay me later ". Just what is your life worth? I sure don't want to get too feeble and not be able to take care of myself and be a burden. I remember you saying that when people get that way and burden society they should just die. I think I will stay healthy as possible for awhile because when you are in charge I will be taken out.

Thanks Jeff.

Thanks John.

While out checking swarm traps there was on particular spot I told Pat to look around. Soon she screamed with glee get over here. The big morels are up. This means in our area we will be finding less than more the rest of the season. We only found 26 but after brushing off and trimming the weight was 2 pounds. Bonus bunch of wild asparagus. Note all the mushrooms were around a dead apple tree.

I think you are doing the right thing for yourself. They way the doctor caught this is great. PSA is the best indicator of prostrate trouble. Things have changed the last decade. Back when and some doctors still do a digital check. I have had three years ago checking for an enlarged prostrate. I am sure many of us older ones know this. The problem with that was EVERY man's prostrate enlarges with age but an enlarged prostrate does not indicate cancer. So back years ago when an enlarged prostrate was encountered unneeded tests would happen. With the new better PSA understanding once the number jumps you need to be proactive like @Maverickpro201 did and follow Dr. Suggestions or do as you wish. I for one do not wear a tinfoil hat and have a great health provider. When it's my time to have something terminal it is my time but I for one am not going to push it.
