Served in the navy as a 2nd Class Engineman. Hard to believe it's been 50 years ago. Served with lots of good folks.

Supposed to hit 100 today. That's to hot to fish for me. LOL

Been hot and stormy here like much of the country. Finally got a nice day today and got out on the lake this morning. We have started to limit the size of our catch to 14 fish (bluegills). That makes 2 meals for us and that's all I want to clean at one time anymore. Of course we have trouble...

It's been a tough spring weather-wise around here. Got out for about an hour this morning before the wind started gusting again. Got 17 nice bluegills. There was no body else on the lake.

A Mafia Godfather finds out that his bookkeeper, Guido, has cheated him out of $10 million dollars. His bookkeeper is deaf. That was the reason he got the job in the first place. It was assumed that Guido would hear nothing so he would not have to testify in court. When the Godfather goes to...

It appears that kayaks have become very popular over the past few years. When we moved from northern Indiana to north Georgia 15 years ago we discovered that there are no natural lakes. (call me dumb, but coming from an area with countless small natural lakes I never thought about it). The...

The wife loves pulled pork and wanted some this holiday weekend. Bought a 10lb. butt on sale. I injected it with Harry Soo's recipe on Saturday and fired up the smoker at 5:30 Sunday morning. Put the butt on at 6:00. Kept the temperature at 225-250. Wrapped it when it hit 165 and pulled it at...

Finally got on the lake this morning. Been a rough year. The wife had surgery in March and it’s been a lengthy recovery. I got t-boned while driving her CRV and broke some ribs. Not a fun time for either of us. Anyway the morning was beautiful, we are both feeling good and brought home 20 nice...

Married 50 years ago today.

I finally decided to get a Weber Smokey Mountain. Got the 18.5 model. I've done several cooks now, but this was my first. 6lb. pork butt. Ran it at 225 with the water pan full. Wrapped it when it hit 162. Pulled it at 202. Took around 8 hours. Served with coleslaw and 5 bean baked beans. I do...

The wife and I haven't fished much this year. We took a few days off this week and got out on Friday. Beautiful day. Fishing was slow because is had rained the day before. Caught a nice little mess of bluegill and had a great meal Saturday night. One of the reasons we haven't fished as much is...

I just noticed that I have been a member for 10 years as of March 10th. Still have the same boat and the same fishing partner, the wife. Just hard to believe the time has passed so fast.

It's been a trying year for lots of folks. We have been lucky. The wife and I both turned 68 this year. She is in real estate administration and was offered a corporate position in her company that allows her to work at home rather than commute to an office. I still work part time delivering...

Today is our 48th wedding anniversary. We have been fishing together the last 25 years.

Many of us like to keep some fish from time to time, but don't have a live well in our boat. I saw this on the internet, so this was not my idea. I thought I would give it a try and it was really simple and cheap to do. I bought a Bubble Box at Wally World for under $5.00. Batteries are suppose...

The wife and I are spending thanksgiving with our youngest daughter, son-in-law and grandsons. Hope everyone has a great thanksgiving.

When I do ribs it has always been the low and slow method (225 degrees for me). St Louis style ribs usually take 5 to 5 1/2 hours for me. I was looking at some high heat, shorter cook time recipes, stumbled on this one and just finished my 3rd cook this weekend. I never wrapped ribs before, but...
