*Cut and and welded twenty 1/2" rebar drowning rods for beaver (I bought more 750s.) *Cut/welded same amount of 30" 1/2" rebar stakes to go with them. *Painted the top 3ft of the rods and top 6" of the stakes black. *Painted a dozen deep water 330 supports black. *Put Expand-a-pans on eight Belisle 280s to use in bobcat boxes.
Yet to do: *Dip all BGs and beaver footholds in black Ambush dip. *Make up a couple dozen beaver snares and dip brown. *Need to dry about 15lbs of castor before September to sell to Paul at the GTA convention.
I haven't had a beaver call since February. Likely due to the extended drought. All of our small streams are dry. Ponds and swamps are extremely low. Problem beavers ain't causing problems. I'm glad....I needed the break.

You are right Dirt. The jobs report from yesterday included numbers from April's JOLTS survey. It showed that in April there were 731,000 NEW job openings unfilled. Most of those in professional and service related work Does anybody actually believe a job report anymore? Not very much that's for sure. BUT......the bond market does and I believe the bond market. When both stocks and bonds sell off then you know something is out of whack. Looks like we're gonna rally for a couple days maybe. But in long run the bond market will be right. S&P futures up .58% and NASDAQ up 1.11 % two hours before the bell. Still have a long ways to go before they are back above last Thursday

I use KB's when trapping otter with BE sets in the little creeks around home. We have a LOT of stone beds, so driving in any kind of stake is difficult. I turn the springs up vertical and slide a stick through the eyes and into the bank, which is mud. I use a KB on the bottom, to keep the trap from swinging. The setup has worked well for me, in this application.

Since I've been spending some time tanning deerskins into buckskin, let's take a look at some of the uses for buckskin the Western trappers had. Typically it was used for clothing. Shirts, pants and moccasins being most common. Washington Irving describing the appearance of free trappers: His gun is lavishly decorated with brass tacks and vermilion, and provided with a fringed cover, occasionally of buckskin, ornamented here and there with a feather.Charles Larpenteur describing trappers unloading beaver skins in St. Louis: in their strange mountain costume — most of their garments of buckskin and buffalo hide, but all so well greased and worn that it took close examination to tell what they were made of.Ruxton describing the general dress of free trappers: The costume of the trapper is a hunting-shirt of dressed buckskin, ornamented with long fringes; pantaloons of the same material, and decorated with porcupine-quills and long fringes down the outside of the leg, a flexible felt hat and moccasins clothe his extremities.Rufus Sage describing the free trapper's clothes: His clothes are of buckskin, gaily fringed at the seams with strings of the same material, cut and made in a fashion peculiar to himself and associates. The deer and buffalo furnish him the required covering for his feet, which he fabricates at the impulse of wantAntoine Clement, by Alfred Jacob Miller

I came home to mine mowing in road gear and mowing OVER a sapling and cutting it off at the ground. He hasn't mowed since. To be fair he was probably 10.
I been meaning to buy him a Forest Gump mower for him to beat up and just never got around to it.

Dirtbat..... maybe if you'd talk nicely about me, it would stay sunshine and bluebirds!
Ha! I tried that 20 years ago and all my hair fell out! Now half my state is under water from flash flooding! I guess your good for something though, our drought is over.

A friend gave me this one a few years back. No idea of the vintage , but radio tubes are old........ Im no expert or anything but this is how you go about dating one I guess. Studying that mine might actually be a 1958 b/c its not flat, pat pending, and has the four dots on both sides. But mine has both the patent and patent pending with the four dots and that combo isn't listed it doesn't look like. Kinda confusing. Late 50's anyway. Looks like if you are after an old one to just look for the orig block letters. https://kb.zippo.com/zippo-lighter/date-codes![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2026/06/full-24446-294643-2026_06_08_07_02_40_start.png)

I've posted this before, but if no one watches you won't understand what's going on in Iran. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjJec0wv1EUomjrBNt1xCTAHe does live reporting 3-4 times a day. Still has family in Tehran, but he is forbidden from ever visiting his home country. Has had to relocate to a new home because of security issues. LNG is getting through to Pakistan and India. And if you want to keep track of global shipping you can watch this guy: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT_yBgKSiwb3WP4ACPnF5nAMaybe someone can pull up the "picture" links to the youtube channels please. Thanks.

Nothin like a wolf bone thru your nasal septum. The tatoo / body piercing artists will buy up the bones as fast as you can cleanem.
The only tricky thing is in Manitoba, you need a licence or permit for everything. My animal, my bones, but the person buying them technically requires a possession permit or an animal parts dealers licence……and the authorities lay this on the seller to make sure the buyer has the right stuff. I just tell them roughly the location of a pile of bones if they want to go get some for free……..but nobody wants to get off their feet, walk out there and get em……lol

No more pain, it just swelled up leg an limp with a walker, leg need to pull up with a belt, putting on socks is impossible without a wide sock stretcher an ouller Stick to it Dave, I was the same way to start with when I had my hip done. Now thats been 3 months and it's all forgotten about. Every one's body and condition are different. We heal and feel pain differently. Keep on chugging along and you'll be fine. I understand you're feeling down. It's no joy getting old. At least all this modern tech stuff helps us walk again one day and keeps us out of a wheelchair. As said PMA (positive mental attitude) goes a long way. So chin up buttercup! Things will improve with time
