Took the kids to their first real show and it did not disappoint. We were at the little town park and neighbors were shootin some big ones but didnt compare to what the city shot off. If you are near Inwood, IA on the 4th, they do a nice job. Followed a demolition derby. Kids had a blast.
Thought I would pick up some whiskey at sams as I hobbies throu the store trying to catch up with my wife since im moving very slow today.
Saw jack was $40 for 1.75 ml and Jim was 23 for the same size. It had been since high-school since i had them back to back but remembered I didnt think there was much difference and since I have not been to work since the 17 if june went with the Jim beam. Got home and took a sip yuck had a rubbing alcohol taste to it. Now im wondering if Jack is the same and I had just gotten used to Woodford over the years.
It will be rough geting through this bottle for a guy that doesn't drink much. But I found a small drink mellows out the internal tremors I have been having. Maybe It will help ease up the back as well and help me find the bottom this bottle before 2030. Stuff is not very good at all.
Was it Jim Beam white label or black label? Maybe your memories were of black label.
I’m a fan of heavy drags and heavy long chain. A lot of trappers opt for the lighter setups till you get a runner and you're 300 to 500 yards into tracking him then that voice in the back of your head starts talking to you saying “ you should have got the heavier drag and chain dummy” ! JC Connor makes top notch equipment for sure you’ll be pleased !!!
Yup. I prehook a lot of mine, although sometimes they are hooked on something I wouldn't trust to chain solid to, but there is a drag on it if they pull loose or pull up whatever I precooked to. They almost never do, though.
I run the same drags for wolf as I do for coyote, so they are all big and heavy. I think drag and 8' of #5 chain weigh about 8 1/2 pounds. All my drags have a minimum of 8' of chain, some have more. And yeah even with one of those heavy drags and about 12" of chain I once had a wolf go close to half a mile. Took me about an hour to find, but generally nothing goes out of sight of the set.
I just tilled my green beans under two weeks ago. . I was wore out from picking them. Put up over 100 packs in the freezer. SW Arkansas. I always consider green beans a late spring producer. I till mine under mid June and plant peas.
Goodness....how u grow anything in gravel???
I wonder that myself. Peas and beans grow good. Okra okay. Corn, squash, tomatoes - not so much
Buckets are 4’ deep. My guess is turtles push open the door and most all of the minnows escape.
I agree, likely a big snapper. If it were to get "stuck" like a mink would with the lid closing, as soon as it retracts it's head into the shell it is free. Take a piece of snare cable, a big treble hook and a chunk of meat and see what is on it in the morning.
I only smoked Cutty pipe and Five brothers in a cob pipe when I was a kid. Now I enjoy a good cigar or two. Nothing like smoking to take time off from the rat race.
