Good morning Mole and all.
62°F clear and a light breeze. Have a great Sunday everybody.

I had one like that , the pressure from the trasnom end of that pipe holds the water in until you trialer the boat.

mine had an overflow that drained out the side of the boat if it got too full.

so the pump would fill it , the pressure would hold it in , and when you got it on the trailer it back flowed through the pump and emptied.

that round dounught looking thing in the back is probably your overflow

I think you're delusional as dems always are.

But I hope you're right.

6 That was my 61st 6 since I started to play. I have zero 1's.

I’ve been an instructor in one form or another for much of my adult life. Tactical shotgun, LEO firearms instructor, training sergeant teaching everything from report writing to use of force. Taught polar bear deterrence in the oil fields of the north slope.

I’ve been doing trapping demos and teaching trapper education since 1990. I had a hiatus while we lived in Alaska but am back at it now. Nothing gives me more satisfaction than teaching trapping to a new generation of trappers.

I have a small scale bee keeper who I swap maple syrup for honey. I get lucky as he swaps a pint for a pint. Each year the honey does taste a little different, as each year different crops do better etc. etc. Not unlike our maple syrup as that changes a bit too. I know in my garden I use exactly the same recipe amounts every batch for my salsa and every year there is a different flavor or taste as onions, carrots, peppers, tomatoes etc. all grow a bit different each year. I notice even more in my tomtato juice.

You have the general idea, if you let the sand get good and hot and then add the wax and don't stir it up until the wax is melting it will work better. And using either a tub or a frame like scout describes with glass or clear visqueen over the top will really help. I couldn't get it hot enough to melt with it just laid on a tarp I had to make a frame and cover in visqueen. But I also was beginning of August when I tried that. I've did it a few years by the solar method, but far prefer a cement mixer and weed burner. You need to monitor temperature doing that so you don't scorch the wax though.

I was too late. I was at a rodeo tonight, I just got on to see if anyone was on late tonight but I was all alone.

Yup, I did the Glycerin/oil mix when I first tried making a lure other than beaver lure. This was before I realized I didnt need the Glycerin to keep that lure from freezing anyways. Duh!!

Figuring proper ratios of secondary/supplemental ingredients so that you get enough odor to add to the attractiveness without getting too much and overpowering other smells can be tough. And takes time, because some ingredients get a stronger presence as they "marry" into a lure, while others mellow.

Are they trappers or musicians?

Vaseline on the lid/threads works. It works better if you do it before it rusts on. (asked me how I know)

Told this story before.

Fat kid was stealing my son's sandwich out of his lunch box and wolfing it down before PE in the locker room. My son knew it was him. So I gave him an assignment.

My son is 6'1" 185 lean and strong. I told him to go sit beside the kid when dressing out for PE. I mean right beside him and bump him while changing clothes. Don't say a word.

Get up when you are dressed and go to walk out. Stop at the door and look back at him and don't say word for 10 seconds. Just stare at him. Then walk out into the gym.

Never stole his sandwich again and never swung a fist.

Sorry you lost your sandwich Smash. That does suck and NO ONE likes a hangry woman!!
