Cold here and PL-enty of snow. Clearing paths to the Big Dog House and the 'Zone'. (where they do their business) Makes getting around MUCH EASIER. Especially as this stuff starts to add up. It's like living in a snow globe for 4 months. A-Jay

We've been getting HAMMERED with snow for two days now. This is the first significant snow is the season, and it's starting off with a bang ! A foot plus and it's still coming down. Been waiting to clean it up Looks like I'll keep waiting . . . . . A-Jay

Hello and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ A-Jay

Total Body Day 3 this afternoon. #borninfiftynine A-Jay

That's pic is from 'the past' (CRS) I'll post a current shot when I get done in one of the "winter threads". Early snow here usually isn't a very good sign. #mountainsonthe way A-Jay

Just got another TW Cyber sale e-mail. This time it's 13% to 62% off Select Electronics, Storage, Apparel and More. Is it just me, or does 'Select' actually mean - stuff no one buys anyway ? A-Jay

I've got an appointment tomorrow morning to 'visit' the new rig. Also be dropping off the set of new Cooper AT3's for a proper mount/balance on said rig. Change of ownership should take place in the next few days. But for now, I'm heading out to clear the 10 inches of sloppy wet snow we got here last night & this morning. Guess we'll be getting an actual winter after all. Good Times . . . A-Jay

what's JLS ? Asking for a friend. Never mind I got it. 🤓 A-Jay

Total Body Day 2 today. Woke up this morning feeling like hammered dog chit. Gutted this one out best I could. Totally blew off the core work. #borninfiftynine and I was feeling it today. A-Jay

Perhaps you two can do a Secret Santa - You send him a camera and he can send you a SCALE ! One that you keep in the boat & remember to take with you, and use. Oh, but I guess that wouldn't really be a secret now would it ? A-Jay

That's a Warm May forcast for me. Go Fishing ! A-Jay

Current working through 20 pages of messages. We're on a little hiatus A-Jay

Thanks. I don't swing that way. Not that there's anything wrong with. A-Jay

Link please. A-Jay

Here too with snow. And a bitter north with that will turn your head around. A-Jay

That deal is one of the best parts about having your own 'dog park'. Besides Tank stealing your hat of course . . . . . A-Jay

Stick to the basics. Put in the work. Make consistency a long term goal. #borninfiftynine A-Jay

Same. A-Jay

Update ~ When we last left our heroine, we were waiting, quite nervously, for a few different test results. In the meantime there's been some degradation of health as a result of medication removals, changes, additions and an infection. Been in contact with a couple of very trusted Dr's and treatment is on going. We had an important appointment today. Long story short, Lynn's bone marrow is NOT THE Problem ! Big Relief. Admittedly, going into this one we were both expecting a fairly dire diagnosis, but instead were pretty much floored by the polar opposite. Lynn's still a sick puppy, but the prognosis at least for the near future might not be too bad, No hospitalization for now. Which with a non-existent immune system is good. Those places are a virtual petri dish of nothing good. Discussed how & when to expect this infection to subside as well as future plans as far as treatment is concerned. Going to take some time, it always does. We'll be laying low for the holidays. Thanks for the support. Stay Safe & Healthy. A-Jay

Rapala Sub Walk. That is all. A-Jay

Total Body Day 4 for this one. Ended up being a mid afternoon workout which admittedly, felt pretty good for a change. #borninfiftynine A-Jay

While I haven’t tried them all, am currently using and feel good about recommending, Mustad KVD 1X strong 2x short triple grip, Gamakatsu Short Shank Magic Eye and Owner Short Shank ST-35’s; all EWG of course. A little more light reading on treble hook replacement. https://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/241684-treble-hook-replacement-~-one-man’s-theory-application/ A-Jay

if you are a couple of months from retiring, do you keep kickingass at work? Your reputation has already been established by your previous actions. Everyone who knows you, already knows what you're going to do. But none of that matters if you set your own standard. The question is, what do you need to do to be proud of you ? Good Luck A-Jay

@gimruis First off - those are some very stout brown bass ! So Congrats right there. #jerkbaitsrule Also, Thank You very much for the kind words. It really does mean a lot, especially today (it's been a tough one). A-Jay @Dwight Hottle What a bag of GIANTS ! They were impressive 10 years ago and they still are today. Also although we may not admit it often, in advance of the fish hitting the scales, I'm pretty sure we can both 'guesstimate' to within a few ounces, one way or the other, what that 'type' of brown bass will weight. And while I do appreciate you giving me the benefit of the doubt, - I don't feel like I'm going out on a limb when I say that your 5 dwarf mine. And it's not even close. You're still setting the bar A-Jay
