  1. If this trailer is really less than two years old than something is wrong and I would take it back where I got it. The bearing spinning on the spindle instead of around the races is a catastrophic failure and something is seriously wrong with something you’re doing or with the original parts.
  2. The officials are held to an impossible standard - they get a split second to see and decide on a penalty from one angle while also doing a myriad of other things, and then the announcers and viewers can pick it apart in 360 degrees forever. Then there’s no recompense for wrong calls and that just bleeds into the frustration. I thought these guys did a good job of not throwing any flags until the last couple minutes and then it got silly. I think they should let them play a little more outside of the safety issues with things like targeting and lowering the head on hits.
  3. Is this the old folks thread?
  4. Congrats on your achievements - that’s a great start! Diet has always been key for me for weight; good sleep and no booze has always been key for me for exercise (I workout in the morning). Integrating a good diet and exercise into your life is key to maintaining it. If it’s an extra- it’d the first thing to go. Cue @A-Jay to make me feel like a slob…
  5. I had to be my own dog most of the time but it was a dang good time!
  6. Stalk slow along edges - look for their eyes. They will hold remarkably tight in tufts of cover. I never did it with a bow but it was my favorite thing to hunt growing up.
  7. If I bought one I would get 50% off my marriage with it!
  8. Me. Me on my boat makes my life easier. usually.
  9. I use 30 lb CXX and Big Game to a 20 lb leader. Lighter leader to break off if snagged.
  10. Repetitive but: tool magnet lithium battery and spot lock cup holders Ultimate bunks
  11. I have a BUNCH of those flip and swims - they are great jigs. What you are describing has never been a problem, and you can flip them into some nasty stuff. If you’re not fishing heavy cover, or you’re swimming mostly open water, trim the weed guard back
  12. Wear your PFD and have at it! Maybe wait until summer to experiment too much though?
  13. I think keeping a yak that small upright might be harder on your spine than lifting one on a car. 8x2 is tiny and more likely a play or whitewater boat. What boat are you looking at? I would also go with a tube if you’re going minimal- they’re great platforms

    Same for me with squirrels, rabbits, and labradors.

    They grow like kudzu. I’d have more but my dog has developed a taste for them so I have to find them first.

    I ate hickory nuts growing up in west TN - heck of a lot of work for not much return. We had about an acre of garden that I had to weed. More tomatoes, cukes, and okra than you could ever eat. Now I live in the city and have a 12x12 raised bed and some pots. Still get good tomatoes, peppers, and cukes but we’ve had a hard time with melons.
  17. Do you put little eviction notices up as you kick them out?
  18. I think I’m the 18-22 range it’s not going to matter. I’m actually safer from hooks in a smaller boat because the kids hit me with the rod instead of the hooks at the end. It’s probably going to be a matter of who you fish with and beyond that, weight.
  19. When you get out of high school for the morning to help your physics teacher get his cows back in the fence. also, when your football coach deer hunts from the press box.
  20. Both games today have been UGLY! SF driving right now with hopes of winning on a field goal in the snow…Garrapolo has been terrible, but the SF defense has been great Who saw that coming?
  21. I had Primanti Bros in Fort Lauderdale of all places for the first time. It was on spring break with a buddy of mine from Pittsburg. Doesn’t matter what one it was - those sandwiches were MAGIC
  22. I’d rather watch UT vs Purdue again, even though we lost.
  23. I have the same line of rod in M. Bought in 2008 for my honeymoon in Canada.
  24. Food question- are you going boneless/ skinless on those chicken thighs and trimming the fat or just enjoying the full schmaltz?
