It always amazes me how some grown men get a weekend away and turn so juvenile. The cord thing would have went up my keister. I’ve been on plenty of projects in my career where I would tell guys not to run cords in public/common spaces. Sure enough there was always 1 or 2 who had to be special. All power cords and power tools on our projects have to be grounded otherwise we took them out of service. Just a safety issue. I used to carry pliers with me. When I saw a cord running across a corridor or common area space that was outside our project zone, I’d unplug the cord from the wall, pull the ground from the cord and show the workman the noncompliant cord. They had 2 options: Throw the cord away or put it in their truck and get another compliant cord. If the cord came back on the job, it gets cut in half and thrown in the dumpster. Zero tolerance. For us it was an OSHA deal as well as a liability. Both can be damaging from a monetary standpoint.

Not the same Gail Force I knew

Good luck guys!

Only 1 way to find out, swamp it in a shallow pond. ?

You know, I think you're right @MN Fisher! ?

Little early to be chomping at the bit, no? ? You must be the worst at Christmas Time.

Back in the day we just called it downsizing and basically used these little french fries: But as @jbsoonerfan mentions, finesse is the neo downsizing.

Mom doesn't want us to worry about her so she's holding back information. The one thing I do know is that they're testing for brain cancer...sad to say the least. Thanks you for your well wishes guys, but please keep them fingers crossed a little longer for her.

I see you put the red cape back on?...Show off! ? Just kidding...Another oinker for sure!

I’m definitely rigged with a Chicago Style Pizza

Holy cow, I didn't even know that was still a thing?

I am by no means a mechanic, but had a similar problem. I was told that the older engines really don't work with the higher octanes. I was advised to replace with the lowest octane I could get. I changed the gas bulb out as well as the gas lines. Had no problems after that. BTW, mine was a 2 stroke Yamaha if that means anything to you.

Pop culture isn't lost on you JF!

Guilty! You're doing better than I...I'm at about 75%! ? A few of other one's my kids picked up on: After hearing and reporting a rumor about a relative or townie friend: "Not trying to stir the pot, but hey, you got a spoon?" In December I found out the company I was working with were slowing down and were getting ready to lay people off. The company I now work for gave me more money to join them. More money = more hours. I said "Nope, I'm good." And got the lower salary. When asked to pick up kitchen trash bags my next time out at the hardware store, I picked up some fairly inexpensive trash bags. When questioned about the trash bags, my reply was: "Why would I spend a lot of money on trash bags that I'm going to be throwing away anyway?" Well, as @Sam would say and then the fight started. "Just one more thing" (trivia here, who said that) Driving behind an older person, I made the comment: "You'd think older people would drive a little faster given the limited amount of time they have left?" So, yes, these get repeated by my kids more than I care to admit. ?

Wood Walker Besides it's antiquated look, it was a reel fish catcher

I like all the retrieves mentioned above. Early season I like ripping vegetation if that pattern is there. I think 1 is missing A-Jay. Center column Row 3. ?

That and the night before you pick something less fibrous to eat.

I'm definitely in the minority here, but the ideal spinnerbait for me is a 3/8 oz short arm spinnerbait. Ideally it would be made from .035 thick wire #4 & 5 Colorado or Willow brass blades all interchangeable on a bearing swivel outfitted with a snap. The pearl skirt with a few strands of watermelon black flake on top would be between 32 & 40 strands cut like an 80's mullet haircut. No trailer needed, maybe a white zonker strip tied in, but not imperative.

It was absolutely gorgeous on Sunday. I got a little yard work done and sat down before dinner and had a cocktail Tin Cup soda lemon twist

You're not kidding, I had a snot rocket do that to me. Lemme tell ya, those VMC hooks are sticky sharp. That snot rocket wouldn't calm down and dug the hook in my hand further and further.

My phone started ringing so I decided to soak a T-Rig I just tied on and then answer the phone. Wound up to put the spurs to her. Nothing. Forgot to engage the reel. Answered the phone and looked down at my T-Rig only to find that my knot must not have been very good cuz the T-Rig was gone. Got the double malocchio.

So you are human. BTW: That's about the size of my PB. ?

I pre-registered my son and I yesterday. We've got a month before we're eligible.

Guilty!!! ?

I’ve had an iPhone since the 4 came out, never had antivirus installed
