I don’t have to retire to realize that! People been telling me since I was a kid

Every person is a case study! Some people don’t have a wife or kids and work is all they know. Some people work to avoid their wife/husband! Some people can’t let go of their work responsibilities. Some people would be very bored if they quit working. I work with 3 people that could easily retire but won’t, 3 completely different reasons for each

Ive been accused of swinging the "lightning hammer" many times, never strikes the same place twice. Also trying to line up screws and bolts in pilot holes always brought up some classic one liners.

Retirement: what used to occur when companies cared about human capital Now we are all just pennies waiting to be pinched one day

I bet I know!! There was even a rubber guard on the neck that I took off yesterday. I swear that axe head was loose so I bought a new handle. After a short chopping session I can't get the old handle out now haha. (Then again I didn't try really hard yet. It was kind of late and noisy when I tried last night)

My poor ole axe handle’s last hoorah (maybe). Circa 2013 model, hickory

Nice job! Expensive scale…….. hahahah. I’ve actually got that same one and it’s “dead” accurate with 5 lb and 10 lb weights believe it or not.

Holy %#**^%!!!!!!!

Sharp!!!!!

They can strike fear into the hearts of some homeowners!! I will say it looked pretty wild for a rat snake, but they always seem to as juveniles

Hahahaha not quite! Just on the thumb but it was tricky to remove

Hahaha no it now resides in the bushes about 8 miles from where I found it

I got bit by a snake today so far. The customer was happy to see it go though, so I got that going for me

Oh I know all about them! I’m a bit of a sports nut. Also my auto correct messed up Steve Sabol’s name but i fixed it

Well now we all know!!! I love watching deacon Jones sack the quarterback on NFL films with Steve sabol. He would go upside the tackle’s head with his cast!

We could never keep all 3 of those wheels on the ground

This massive serpent bit me like 5 times.

It’s a tough time of year for a big limit there but frog in slop is probably one of the better options. Check out the articles and results from the BASS elite event there last fall

Just click on their profile and there’s some kind of emblem with an envelope that you click to send a personal message. as far as the flow on pickwick, you will be fine unless you arent right next to a dam. The wind is much more important for waves on the main channel in a bass tracker

Haven’t crossed this bridge much but I would imagine you do it the same way you would if you were standing on the deck of a fishing boat

Don’t know but it’s strong

Big smallmouth have been biting pretty good for us lately in East TN summer hot weather. I’ve only been home a week and seen 4 of them over 17” hit the deck and one 21” 5 lber. I was up north the first week of sept and fish were biting up there, although I didn’t have a boat so I was limited. There are 3 main differences I notice from north to south, although I’m sure this varies depending on where you travel. The first difference is water depth. There are miles and miles of shallow weedy waters up north. I’m used to 20+ feet of water right next to the bank and that’s rare where I’ve traveled. Granted, I’m sure it exists in steeper mountainous areas but when I go up north I see a lot of lily pads, reeds, and sand. The second difference is wind. Now this is widely variable by region but the wind seems to blow way more often and way faster up north. I imagine there are several days you literally just can’t go fishing due to waves. Now I have experienced some places down south where the wind makes some big waves like pickwick and Guntersville but for the most part you can find coves and creek arms and still go fishing somehow. The third thing I notice is a lot of northern anglers don’t care one bit about bass fishing. Most anglers are after salmon, walleye, perch, or trout. This creates a wonderful side effect of bass that don’t get pounded to death with lures all the time.

Not so fast my friend! I think I still use those reels and rods. Not sure of the gear ratio on my old abu's but it's really slow. Seems like 2:1 sometimes!

A soaking wet ground hog looks like a porcupine. Who knew?

We had 5th row seats this weekend
