My repaired back is titanium and ok for MRIs. Had a couple since the fusion. But I can pass on some weird MRI experiences. During a couple shoulder MRIs I could feel pulling in fillings in teeth and my opposite shoulder. I had to refuse a cutout on a pole that was too high to use the extendo stick and we couldn't get the line truck to the pole. Had to climb it. It was on a larger circuit and the fuse was big. The fuses are made of a flexible stranded wire that attaches to the single wire of the fuse. Generally if you patrol the line after an outage and find no visual reason for the fault you refuse the circuit and try the line again. If you can string out workers up and down the line watching and listening for the fault as the cutout is closed. Sometimes faults such as tree branches or animals have cleared the line and after cutout is closed circuit is restored and your job is done. Well when I closed the fuse with the hard hat on head down and safety glasses it blew again with a sound that hurt your ears shrapnel from the fuse I could feel hitting my shoulder. I had a bloody impact spot. Some of the fine parts of the braid went into the shoulder. During the MRI many, many years later I felt the minute stuff trying to come out. May have I do not know but strange feeling none the less.

Bingo worked on our Sadie dog too!

Worry about your hives JD?

Today, Grass fed burger over charcoal, But the beast part was the first found Morels to add on top. Small ones sauteed in cast iron skillet with butter. Then stuffed jalapenos to boot.

Mighty nice offer Tom. Don't use those in my build but maybe try to get with you for a meet up and coffee sometime I'm down there.

Does it mix with whiskey?

His was all orange, maybe it faded. Someone elses nightmare now. 😆

Thanks Randy for the suggestions, Its kinda overwhelming eating such a large loaf between the two of us in a week. Basically recipe you are talking about Is half what we are doing. One cup starter and six flour,three water and some salt.

Thank you for reply. I have yet to spot a goldfish yet but rogue Koi are showing up. About ten years ago or more a neighbor caught a big Koi at caplinger mills. Kept it and had it mounted. Hidious mount. Not a good job. He is passed now and when he needed help I would do the right thing and help him. I cringed each time l looked at that fish.

Beginning to pop here, With the current reports coming in it was time to get out and look. One in particular really piqued my interest. A friend of my friend who lives in Herman, Mo. has been finding a few. Brad's buddy lives Northeast of Herman. This is a big jump in Latitude from BilletHeadville. After a big sourdough French toast breakfast, we went for a walk to help working that batch of caloric intake burn off some. They are beginning to pop! Two colder nights coming up will be a setback but get through that it's really going to happen. Get your tick spray on your shroom hunting clothes and go at it folks. We will have a taste test this afternoon :). Mushroom knife and quarter for scale,

You really have my creative juices flowing. what size of beadalon wire are you using and how does it collapse on the strip?

Question for Randy @rps, Hey man I have a question on my bread making. I'm sure Nancy could answer this also. This recipe calls for quite the amount to make a big loaf. Can I adjust by splitting dough in half at second rise and do two smaller loafs using two smaller dutch ovens easier to handle? If so I know it should cook faster and do I need to adjust cooking time? Right now I do 30 minutes at 450 lid on and 15 more lid off. I was last year doing one smaller loaf in single dutch oven #8 but cannot find that recipe or cooking time again. I do not mind doing two at a time with this current recipe in smaller #8 dutch ovens. This #12 is heavy and a bear to wrestle the thing in and out of the oven when it is preheated to 450 degrees. Thanks

Sourdough fest, If any OAF member was closer, I would share a partial loaf each week. Another one went into and out of the oven yesterday. Still a bit left from last week so for lunch I made me a sourdough grilled Cheese with Asigo. Like the tang of that cheese combined with the tang of the sourdough, Then for breakfast on Pat's day off she whipped up some french bread and french pressed coffee to go with just a few minutes ago.

Still spooked to attempt that JD. Sure, wish you were closer. If I don't what would plan B and C be? Let nature take its course and swarm hoping I capture the swarm or remove the potential swarm cell?

Good report JD thanks for adding. I got into everything Sunday afternoon. I did lose one of my hives. The last Layens that was occupied. Not sure what happened. The queen had been laying and had brood. This hive had some crazy bees that glued everything up pretty tight and even closed down the entrance to one small hole that allowed for one bee passage. When I quit seeing movement at entrance, I looked in. Found the queen dead with two bees with her. Nothing alive in hive and bees dead on the bottom. They had plenty of stores as a matter of a fact I spun the frames and netted two gallons of honey. Remaining hive report. The two original long Langsdorf are doing well with lots of brood and eggs. Still bookoos honey stores left from winter but don't want to slip any out until a real honey flow starts. I do not want to be a mistake maker. Too new at this hobby. So now to two of the over wintered standard Langsdorf hives. Just single deep. One is pretty weak but queen laying and brood. Only two frames of bees. Plenty for them to eat in there still. Next one stronger three or four frames of bees and laying queen and brood there. The third standard was the strong one I had transferred to the new long lang. This new hive is going crazy, and I mean crazy. Never in my life have I seen a brood frame with a pattern like this. I would love to split this hive and retain the genetics, but I am chicken. Again, afraid to make a newbie mistake. I hope if it swarms, I will be here to catch them and introduce into an empty hive. I wish I knew where I had caught this swarm last year. I am keeping better notes where I catch and which hive, they are going into. I have I think 8 swarm traps out where I caught last season. So far not a scout of sniff when I check every couple of weeks. I know I got them out way early but am excited. Like you all my empty hives are set up for swarm traps just in case. One is attracting red wasps. I get in and kill them daily. Today there were five in it. JD you will probably see swarming before me and if you see signs let me know please. Honey, I spun out from empty hive. The frames were hung down in yard for the bees to clean up. I let the bees draw comb with no foundation in the layens frames. When I extracted it did crack the comb and I had a couple blowouts of comb. Learned my lesson. They will still draw natural comb but now I have wired up below the starter strips. They now look good, and I will attach picture later of my job on those.

Guess I am confused here. These slicks just attach on top of the existing bunks. Guess your configuration may be different than mine.

Starsky made the national news tonight.

They sell the three inch for the 2X4 and it's all you need.

I never said I was a perfect Christian. There is no such thing but we should try to be. I carry so if I run into the guy I will let him have it

How many of you use trailer bunk slicks? Griz and Ham have them on their jet boat trailers. Have seen them in use by Griz so decided to give them a try. Both of these guys read me the riot act on how to use and what to look for and changes in loading and unloading on steep ramps and in current. My jet is thick hulled and heavy. If I don't get it fully pulled to front or off a bit in the back, I have a hard time cranking it up bad enough I have had to get help especially centering on back. I ordered about enough to do my bunks. I say about enough because I was short a foot on each side. No problem cut a couple sections from a nylon cutting board. Got them mounted at a local city lake. These are a gamechanger for Pat and me. Actually amazing. You don't have to back in so far for loading and unloading. Cranking is soooooooo easy. I will let @Ham and @grizwilson read you the riot act if they want. I have been on ramps so shallow I have had to abandon launching. No more .

I have to admit that was good!

And in the offending parties involved. I know we are taught as good Christians vengeance is not ours to take but I am sure there are plenty in line to pull the trigger.

Ronnie, As you are fishing smaller creeks as you do look on gravel bars for flakes. They can be all colors of the rainbow but heat treated material can be even red in color. If you find those look ahead on the banks for where they may be coming from. Depending on the flake size it could be along ways. They are coming from somewhere. You will find points also that have tumbled in the current. Bigger waterways it happens too just hard to move along them. Boating and like your kayak works. Lake shores are fantastic but like I mentioned illegal. I look for lost lures and sometimes find all kinds of things on lakes shores. Do this at low lake levels for best results.

Actual goldfish or Koi?

More food porn! Looks great Cody. Thanks for posting.
