Deffiniton of a psy op.

One opinion must be squashed and vilified in order for another to flourish.

There were Harvard educated doctors on YouTube that were silenced and stricken because their opinion did not gee haw with the government driven psy op that the jab was 100% safe.

That should have set off everyone's alarm. NO VAX is 100% effective. NONE!!

We have about 350 buckets out by trees and have changed plans a bit. We will tap a woods with about 100 taps tomorrow and two smaller woods Sunday. We also have about 130 buckets left to get out. We stopped as we had 30 plus mile winds and they would have been almost to Lake Michigan if we had put them out on the two high ridge woods we have left.

We have never got any of the early to mid-February runs. We feel if it stays cold for 3-5 days, sap won't run and tapping would work out as we would not get much or any frozen sap in our buckets.
We had a lot of really cold temps with quite a bit of snow melted off in our area. Frost got pretty deep this year. With the roots froze up we don't get much for sap runs.

The constitution was probably drafted and written so that partisianship would not be a major or even a minor influence, but over 250 years we Americans have worked extremely hard to make our constitution partisian and really political and it has filtered into all three branches of our federal government and state governments.

Below is a link that talks about the dairy tariff claims the adminstration has made and what is actually taking place
https://www.factcheck.org/2025/04/trumps-misleading-claim-on-canadian-dairy-tariffs/

Also Canada has just a few thousand less cows than the state of Wisconsin. They have about 1 million cows that supply about 35-40 million people so it stands to reason they may need to import some dairy products
Much of Canada also has a milk price support or quota system that causes dairy products mostly in eastern Canada to be high. That helps make imports more attractive and still be below the 250-300% triggers that are used to create false information.
Also Two of the largest dairy companies in the world are Canadian and they have several production plants in the USA and other regions of the World. The USA has only 1 large dairy producer in the top 10 worldwide. We as Americans have been slow to build large food plants and food production companies and when we do we sell them to Brazil, China and Canada.

There was a nice dip at the beginning of the Chinese new year. But, momentum is going up and silver is holding its own now. You would think comac and J.P. Morgan would have driven prices down while the china trade is out but they have not been able to. That tells me silver is on solid ground.

Aaron,
I always use a jig when sharpening. It's the reassembly that can be dangerous. Steelforce heads. It's the locking ring. And yes. I have the tool for locking.

The home where I grew up was triangle in by rail road tracks. To the east was single track Chicago and Northwestern. To the west was the two track Burlington Northern and the north end of their rail yard. Farther to the south was Sooline and Amtrac.
By my parent old cottage by Black River Falls was about hundred yards off the GreenBay and Northwestern.
Where I live now Im once again 3 blocks away from Burlington Northern tracks.

So you might say I know a bit about train sounds. Can sleep threw their noise as well as most.

The sound that goes with my Rythm theme. Is the sound the wheels made crossing the rail joints. Is a 4 count click ity click, thing. Its still a sound that trains make as car wheels cross joints. But with ribbon rail and all things new with trains. I don't think it just as noticeable as used to be.
But I can hear that that sound just thinking about it.

I just got about 50 ten foot posts cut for a new fence I'm starting next month. My timber is full of them. If they grow in with regular hardwoods they will grow straight and tall like a hickory. You get some beautiful post out of those timber trees. Some grow with one truck. Some grow multi trunked and will have a lot of posts in them. My record is 54 posts out of one tree. It was a big one. There was a lot of splitting.

This year talking legalize 220 in MO. Will need to try some bucket sets to up skunk and possum catch not interested in my dog food. Thinking good for spots with less than ideal trails and good visual. What baits you using for buckets.


Honestly hard to believe but for me this year, marshmallows dipped in bacon or beef grease from a frying pan has out produced most for skunk l. Opossum and coon have been hammering anything from sardines to dry cat food soaked in tuna juice then I mix in cherry Kool aid powder. Ridiculous but works. I tend to lean more towards meat and strong fish smells later on. Fruity smells early. Don't be afraid to use a 160 if legal. They really work good on coon and opossum and skunk. Neck catches almost 100%

Not much considering I only got that truck this year, LOL.

Today produced just a dinky coon and an even dinkier beaver. But, it was an interesting day all the same. I got to the last location, and the first thing I noticed was that I had a sprung land set. Figured I'd reset it on the way back. Went to check the bodygrips. Noticed right off a set of fresh cat tracks in the mud. Got to my first set and my trap is gone! Just vanished. I'm looking around trying to figure out what happened... I spot the stabilizer... it was sorta bent over... so I looked in the direction it was bent towards and notice just the spring eye of my trap. At that point I thought it was sprung and empty so I started to pull on it and up comes a pile of guts! It finally dawned on me what had happened. I had caught the tiniest beaver I've ever caught in the trap. The rat I caught yesterday was bigger. And the cat had eaten the beaver and buried the rest of it under a mound of grass!
