how about a Oklahoma,AR,MO,KS,TX,+IA GTG thread?

Lots of apples here as well.

The idea of spraying the ground with permethrin early in the year as the apples were just starting to form did the trick for pretty much eliminating the Plum Curculio issue that we had in the past (couple of years).

Absolutely, power company dropped a 54" sycamore

LOL, no thanks.

I was splitting one day (with hydro of course) and a friend (body builder) and his son (big lineman football player) stopped by. Said to me, "why are you using a splitter, use a maul like a real man...", talking crap to that affect. I went to my truck and got the "big ox" Oschenkopf maul and handed it to him. I rolled a 28-30" sycamore round out for him to show me how it is done. You should have seen the two of them wailing on that round; 20-30 wacks a piece without a single crack, just kept bouncing off. You should have seen their faces. I laughed my head off and questioned their manhood too. Sycamore sucks to split; then when it dries it is like picking up a porcupine!!!

Thanks for the offer, I will remember when I get around to doing something with it. Too many projects to start it now. I remember that you collect them and figured you would know about the parts. May have to put you on the boat and send you home with some crappie before too long. Been a year or so since I took Matt and longer that that for Derek and Sam.

It would be good to go out on a boat with somebody experienced in both driving a boat and catching fish. My last fishing experience was with Coby at Roaring River Park about 8ish years ago. I caught a whole lot of Rock Bass and Tree Bass in 10 minutes time. About $80 in lures I had just bought. While Coby, standing 10 feet from me caught the park limit in less than 10 minutes.
I’ll have to tell you in person about my thoughts on driving a boat. (They don’t have brakes for one thing). So I just try to go with somebody experienced and watch and learn. Then forget.

I hit Roaring River when its' hot and I just want to do a little play fishing. Don't ever keep anything, just send them all back. I have vacation end of Sept. and my dance card is open. If you like you can have first choice. Pick a day Sept.29-Oct.3 if you are not busy on a weekday and we will make it happen on Stockton.

Tony's a great boat operator, I'm a boat coward and I never felt alarm when Sam and I went out with him.

Need to go out on a day with 1 1/2 to 2 foot whitecaps. That deep-V boat makes a world of difference in that kind of weather.

And just because, MODOT's finest doing some mud runs today. They had it out a couple hours later when I passed back through. And a gratuitous picture of homemade strawberry ice cream just for @Hinerman.

Oh man, that looks righteous. I am not talking about the tractor. You need to have a food GTG...
