No just caught that one walleye.... my buddy caught a nice northern too..... we hooked 5 large fish but only landed two.... one broke 15 lb. test line..... two other shook the hook.
I fought one for 15 minutes to have it get away.

I had a few get off the hook, hubby caught a nice bass and a bunch of catfish, mostly itty bitty ones (I never seen some so little lol) but he caught a big one too. We really liked this new lake we tried, but the drive there sucks. Of course, right?

May go to the easy small lake this afternoon since we had a quick drop in temp. We fished past dark last night and I was actually cold by the time we got out of there. Dock temp was down to 57 degrees!

Have a great trip! Safe travels!



I completely agree, it's the exact same for me. Sometimes I'll hear a song start and like the beat, etc, and then the lyrics come in and it's rap and it's just entirely ruined for me.

Regardless of the lyrics, I just can’t stand it. I even hate the country songs when they feel that have to rap a little in the middle of a nice song.

Yeah, most of the time I don't like it all, but rarely I'll hear one that I actually like the opening to, and then the lyrics start and it's just totally ruined, lol.

Good morning, Pond Life. There's neighbors, and then there's neighbors. I have good neighbors. Yesterday neighbors to the East had a day long party - they had more people visiting than I even know. Laughing, swimming, playing games, and all left by 11 PM. That's good neighbors. Folks to the West haven't had their 'summer party' yet - they know a lot of people too, but noise stops by 11 PM. Heading to Chincoteague, Va for a few days so I will be absent from the Pond. Feel free to use my lily pad, but please keep it dry. Thanks.

See, I don't mind when people are happy and enjoying themselves just having fun. We have friends over and play music until late hours sometimes. But we try to shut it down to low noise level by 11.
I have just had the bad luck to keep getting dysfunctional families that wanna party, then scream and fight and peel out in their vehicles all night.

Yesterday morning E and Twin B were out doing chicken chores. I crutched out to help a bit (I can do the big poop board in the barn propped up by a little step ladder), and then I sat for a while and watched E and C work. They were scrubbing out and refilling waterers. And I began to think to myself, 'This is actually really good for them! They're working together, they're out of the house, and the son is not hating it!' This may end up being a good thing after all.

Always a silver lining. . even when it's hard to find.

Hi Orr!
yep, had a similar result here when DH took over chickie chores for me when I was recovering from my accident. Was not originally thrilled when he finally relented to my chicken dreams of having birds again and helped me turn his old ice fishing shack into a coop. Pretty much tolerated the birds but had nothing to do with them for years. Since caring for them when I could not; First, I had trouble regaining control of "my" girls, now he has no problem "bird sitting" for me when needed, he bought me a nice feed shed for my birthday so I could keep/handle all the chicken supplies easier in the winter and he has volunteered on several occasions to do/build whatever upgrade ideas I come up with and just the day installed the new draw fan for me that I didn't even know about until I went to see what he was up to!!!

I used to hate RAP music. I don't mind it anymore. I don't listen to it but after raising too boys I learned to tolerate it.
I find it funny that my brother is 51 and still listens to heavy metal turned all the way up.
But my brother thinks he's just still being cool.... kinda like he refuses to wear a seat belt even though it's the law.... he refuses to let his wife wear one too. Artually removed them from his last car.
When I said something about his extremely loud music..... he looked at me funny coz I said I listen to political talk radio. When I do listen to radio I listen to the 60's station

Wow. Just. Wow. Not wearing a seat belt is his choice, but to not "let" his wife wear one?? Not sure I'd ever get in a car with him. (I also have my own car, so that wouldn't be a problem. If we had to drive separately everywhere, so be it.) Could be that 30+ years of scraping people out of ditches has skewed my feelings on seat belt use...

Happy birthday Sour..... have fun

It's Sour's birthday? Happy Birthday, Sour!
