Good morning, mole and all. 43°, clear and breezy in North Central Pennsylvania. Last morning to chase spring gobblers this season.

Lure and Bait Formulator's forum
1 hour ago
I'm also "experimenting" with some things. I'm in absolutely no way wanting to go in business but I'm searching for things that work local to me. I could be wrong but I have a belief that what may work in Texas or Missouri may be lacking in NE TN. So far in my quest I've found out you better learn how to swim through all the things that come in play in the lure and bait business.

Always had a progressive amount of vacation based on service years and 10 holiday days plus 40+ hours of PTO depending on years of service. Some department managers held PTO use against ya at review time; other recognized it as your benefit, stupid on you for not using the benefit.

As salaried employees, we got the same official schedule as the shop persons; but because extra hours were expected above 48 hours/wk ... Time off was a bit more flexible with approval of your manager.

Lastest trend was to offer so much time off based on each hour worked throughout the year.

But now ...

They are stiffer than the conventional foam. I would check the pan pressure with and without.
The pads are around .29 cents a piece.

BUTERA UNDERALLS

Maybe someone can chime in on the pad dimensions and Bridger pan size.

On the planning - Nothing wrong with thinking things through K.A.
You will catch a lot more targets doing your homework than you ever will slacking on the details.




Thanks ill check on that, The no Bs pans are actually 2 1/4" x 4", they are already large enough that I don't find the kill area gets enlarged by much at all with the screens, the way the pan sits below the jaws the screen only moves about an 1/8" of an inch before it hits the top of the levers on either side of the pan. and there really isn't much space inside the jaws for a critter to step without getting some portion of its foot on the pan. I was really only interested in the screens for weatherproofing.
.
Yeah I'm obsessive about details going into anything. During the covid shutdowns my work was getting shut down sporadically. I dove into trot-lining catfish I did my research built my own lines and went to it, I was catching some fish but l was having quite few lines frayed with missing hooks, at first i thought it was garfish but something just didn't quite fit, I found out i was tying my snoods wrong and i changed the configuration and immediately starting flopping 30 plus lb fish regularly and no more missing hooks. I try to go in with overkill and back off of what i dont need.

Again thankyou for your input,

Had both eyes done in late 2023. Went with the multifocal lens, but not the light adjustable lens. Cost about $6000 for both eyes over what Medicare pays. Well worth it in my opinion. I wanted a bias toward distance so doc made a slight difference in focal length between the eyes. Corrected stigmatism too. As others have said, good pair of sunglasses in bright sun.

Heck smash i talked to my wife and it turnd out to be 7 long guns 3 handguns and enough reloading stuff and ammo there are only walk paths to get through the living room. My floors already sag due to ammo storage area.

Will be interesting to go through and find places to put. I did see a shot shells press in one of the pictures. I have not loaded shot shells ever so that will be something new to look into. It never made economic since to load them as few as I shoot. I dont know what gage it is for or if there are parts to make it different gages. . Honestly the only shot shells loading that made since to me was 410 and 28 due to the higher price of them and they use less components. Always said if I got one of those I would add in the price and reloading set up at the time of purchase.

Geting the gifts are nice. But im more concerned about how my is doing. He is a great guy that is very intelligent.

My kids wife and future grand kids will get all my junk. I never thought about folks that dont have kids. Thats difficult for me to comprehend since everything I have done the last 24 years has been kids first and for their benefit. Definitely a different perspective and things to think about.

1/4 cup salt
1/4 stick butter
1 lemon
In a 2 quart pot bring to a rolling boil add ingredients
cut walleye in 2" x 2" chunks
Bill until the chunks float to the top and dip them out carefully
with a strainer.
Sprinkle with paprika and dip in melted garlic butter.

My wife does almost the same thing except once the fish chunks are floating they get put into ice cold water, with some ice cubes added to flash cool them off. Drain real well then add in some cocktail sauce to lightly cover. We take some big bowls to get to gathers and there's never any left over.

We have done the ice bath also. Can't go wrong it is so good. I just past this recipe on to a client who fished with me Sunday. I hope she tries it.

Prevention of fire is also why serviceberry, wild plum and American hazel nut are much less common too.

“Crypto currency” could be any number of things

Self custody “cold storage” eliminates the threat of it being seized

If it’s stored on an exchange,,,, it’s vulnerable
