    2024 Turkey Season!

    Our opening day was Saturday. I went but all the deer hunters were out in full force. Didnt hear anything. My buddy and I drew a special 3-day permit that opened today. We were on one at first light but a hen stole him away. She passed by us within 25 yards probably. Bow we're motoring around...

    Metalworking Hunttalkers!

    Yeah I think you'll be good to go. They wanted to span 17' with 4x3 1/8th wall tubing.

    Metalworking Hunttalkers!

    That has more structural integrity than the thin wall tubing one plant wanted us to us to support a load-bearing wall that they cut down without supporting first.

    Metalworking Hunttalkers!

    Well, last week a big hurdle got thrown the company's way. My boss (the owner) broke his leg riding a dirt bike and is out of commission for 2 months. So that means I've been solo on a lot of stuff and the lead when the part time guys are around. Biggest thing I've been tackling is getting this...

    2024 Garden!

    Our recommended planting date is April 15, seemed like it was going to be a warm spring so I went ahead and planted April 1. We had a couple day cold snap but it never hit freezing. We've got 4 raised beds, I planted marigolds and petunias for the bees and then the beds are 1) three sisters 2)...

    School zones

    It's impossible to speed in a school zone here because they back traffic up an hour before school opens.

    Good for you Botswana

    I can't believe this thread has gone this long. Theres no need for a back and forth on this. I'm the only one with righteous hunting motives and everyone else is a bloodsucking insect.

    What's on the smoker today?

    Teriyaki chicken thighs. Not really smoked (375) but this is why I wanted a pellet smoker.

    Bad deal...

    They dropped anchor. My understanding is that you're right, they are able to do that even without power. My dad has some professional experience in this area and said that they probably had some amount of rudder control too, even without power. It just doesn't matter. Takes way too long to...

    Plate ‘em up

    Was gonna smoke some ribs yesterday but I discovered that I was out of pellets so I just did them in the oven. They were okay but not great. So today I took all the leftover rib meat, chopped it up and made a kind of teriyaki glaze and reduced it all down. Served with steamed rice and roasted...

    Bad deal...

    Most effective way to turn a ship like that is with the screws. One turning forward and one aft. When the power comes back on the first time, thats almost certainly the maneuver they were attempting. The second time power comes back on, it's inevitable they're going to hit so they're probably...

    What's on the smoker today?

    5, almost 6 hours in. 170f and rolling along. Plenty of smoke on this thing.

    First longer smoke on the new pellet smoker. Small pork butt for a church dinner tonight.

    Do you have an inner monologue?

    So you're sitting on a glassing knob, looking out over some elk and mule deer. You don't have any thoughts running through your head?

    Do you have an inner monologue?

    My theory is that the people denying their internal monologue either a) think its going to get them labeled as mentally ill or b) don't know what the word monologue means

    Specks, you call em crappie

    We don't really run into that many that spit the hook. If you get them up to the surface, you've got a hook in them. Biggest reason to net them is once they get to the boat they want to dive and you don't have the flex of a rod or any drag. So your option is either drop the jug and circle back...

    No crappie, several blue cats though. Lost one good one and caught one good one.

    Specks, you call em crappie

    Always is. We go a few times each spring and catch enough for the church to have a fish fry on Easter Sunday evening.

    Specks, you call em crappie

    Doing a little combo fishing today. Dropping jugs for blue cats and then fishing for crappie while the jugs drift. Hopefully I'll have some pictures to add this afternoon. Some old timers I've fished with loved to blame jacks anytime the bite went dead.
