What ever happened to Didymo?  I have noticed all of my boot washing stations are gone.

Didymo was a false flag, Spun by some biologists, and sold to the people who automatically believe everything they say. 

When they begin to fear that their phoney baloney job is in jeopardy, or they want a fresh handout.....they create things to "study" and apply for funding money.   

Just like Global Warming, CWD, Zebra Mussels, Eurasian Milfoil, Milkweed, and the dreaded Emerald Ash Borer.   The way to eliminate these life-threatening issues is to give biologists lots of money......They do basically NOTHING, but miraculously the problem goes away.   Haven't you noticed the pattern? 🙄

I can’t speak for most of your listings but they got it spot on with the ash borer.  I have standing dead ash trees all over the place.

Not me.   I admitted to fishing the White by the dam, standing in didymo and driving to Taney in my waders to fish the same afternoon.  We would stop at Bennett and the meramec sometimes too.  If it was going to spread it would have long before they were contemplating the felt ban.   I figure they owe me for a pair of Simms boots I bought and only wore a few times.    Total scam!

4-stroke outboards are heavy, overly huge, low on power output, and designed to only outlast their warranty.......But they ARE quiet and they are smooth running machines for awhile...... can't deny that.   

Ever wonder why offshore boats run 4 strokes? and have been running them for 20 years?  Longevity, fuel economy, and dependability.

 

Why do I love my yamaha 4 strokes?? quiet, fuel efficient, dependable.

Dude, you're high !  🙄 

No outboard, 4-stroke or otherwise, is going to last 20 years in saltwater !    

Offshore boats are running 4-strokes because that's all that is available now......and they have to be replaced every 4-7 years.  So what are you even talking about here? 

Longevity? 🤔  My yard is completely full of outboards produced in the 70's, 80's, and 90's  and all they need is regular service and maintenance.   What's the oldest 4-stroke outboard that YOU are aware of ?

Fuel efficiency?    Fuel bought today needs to be burnt up pretty soon..... because its shelf life isn't very long.  How far do you run?

And like a perfectly programmed citizen you automatically point your finger at the BUG you were programmed to blame.

So it turns out that there are 8 known, and common, Ash tree diseases that have nothing to do with insects.  And 2 known diseases that can be attributed to insects.

So how many of them are connected to holes bored into the trees and the flat headed bores under the bark?

I have no idea.   Don't listen to ME, I've just had a belly full of the BS we are being fed on a daily basis, and I've gotten to the point that I don't automatically assume anything we are being told is factual.    

I never ASKED or INQUIRED about problematic Ash trees.....yet SOMEHOW my brain got injected with a huge dose of information about some bug that is detrimental to them.   

Am I the only one who finds that intriguing?   😅

[Dutch]

I don’t find it intriguing, I find it costly in that I can no longer harvest them for lumber, only second class firewood.
