Wonder if it's really even walleye? Good question. I was about to ask a similar question. How is walleye commercially grown and harvested? I don't care and am not doubting the authenticity, just curious. Put fried bluegill or crappie on the menu and I'd be the new best customer.

I thought the game was rather boring. Reba did an outstanding job. I did not see the "Black National Anthem" performance. Such a notion does not exist in my way of thinking. If one does not like our Anthem, then go somewhere else and stay there. The halftime show was terrible and way too long. It's very obvious that the game itself is now not as important to the NFL as the pageantry and money are. The game needs to start earlier or be on Saturday, period. The Phoenix Open golf tournament final round and playoff was much better.
Just the opinions of a grumpy old man who is tired from staying up too late.

Some, not all. Putin is a former KGB officer and a master at psychological manipulation. Wasn't it Reagan that called them the Evil Empire? As I said, we must never forget that their goal is the destruction of America and western democracy in general. Putin has an agenda, and part of it is slowly, ever so slowly, making Americans doubt whether they are a threat,and ultimately doubt whether our form of government is so great after all. Sadly it seems to be beginning to work. Regardless of who our next President is, or who controls Congress, their goal remains the same and they will keep at it. On another note, as bad as Biden has become, the idea of Kamala Harris as President gives me heart palpitations. I 100% agree with the Harris comment. She is the VP because she is a black female. She "worked" her way up the political ladder by way of being an attractive female.

Putin isn't too bad of a guy??? Someones' propaganda is working alright... Never mind Biden or Trump, the Russians are succeeding at making people think Putin isn't so bad. Exactly what their plan is, and it's working. Kruschev said decades ago that they would destroy us from the inside. Now we have patriotic Americans falling for it. Or, are we being destroyed from the inside because: -Some members of the current administration and a good number of legislators openly advocated for "defunding the police?" -The current Commander in Chief can't remember who he talked to and when? However, he does appear to communicate with the dead. Maybe that will prove to be a strength? -"Wokeness" is being encouraged and defended in all areas and aspects of our daily lives? -Our military spends as much time on DEI training as it does physical training? -It is being insisted that biological males can give birth even though they lack the required human organs to do so? -Race and socioeconomic background are more influential factors in college admissions, hiring, promotions, lending, etc. than actual achievement? Where does this list stop? I may be going off-topic here, but I am asking you or any other member who wants to contribute, just what is the current administration doing better than you think one led by Trump would do? I'm referring to real-life issues, not sucking up to the media and appearing to be a friend to all. I've never hid the fact that I think Trump should stay off of social media and listen to his advisors. I also have said that he commands more respect from foreign leaders and approaches the Presidency from the perspective of a business leader. Unless I am mistaken, Biden has been on the government payroll for 50+ years and never ran a business. Unless, of course, being in cahoots with Hunter on his ventures counts.

Criticizing Biden is warranted. But praising Putin? Don't fall into this trap. Regardless of how bad Biden is, Putin is a murdering monster dictator that is worse than any American President has ever been. Tucker should be ashamed. What should he be ashamed of? Practicing journalism? Seems to be a lost art in today's media. Would the Dems be happier if he interviewed the leader of Hamas?

He was a good one and a sincere patriot.
I saw him at Vincennes University in 1993. He had a concert in the basketball gym during parents weekend. Who would have thought that he would go from there to being one of the most popular country artists of the last 25 years?

"Honda in different clothing" I don't know it for a fact, but myself along with several others think so. The components look the same and the motors seem to behave the same.
Most construction companies around here buy the generators, pumps, and replacement motors almost exclusively. Take a look at any beat up troweling machine that looks like junk. It likely has a newer Predator motor. Same with plate compactors.

Update: thing’s went sour and the shop owner refused to pay anything out of his pocket to make up the difference of what the insurance was offering and what we were asking. I had to hire a lawyer and finally a couple of days ago his insurance settled with us outside of court. They kept low-balling us until they realized they didn’t want this to go to court. This whole thing was extremely exhausting for us and has caused hard feelings between us and my sister’s family unfortunately. I guess my bro-in-law thought we should just accept the low-ball offer from his stepdad/insurance, but that wasn’t happening!! Somehow my wife and I are the bad guys in this. Signed paperwork yesterday and should receive a check next week. Just a bad deal all the way around!! ….And by the way…insurance sucks!! This is exactly why I avoid doing any paid work for friends or family. The family that we hang out with and go on vacations with is trying to get their bathroom remodeled. It's too much work to do for free and I have no interest in taking the chance of the project going south and damaging our relationship. I don't even like referring contractors to people I know. Somehow when they don't show up or something goes wrong, it's my problem to solve.

I’d bet the ranch this guy isn’t even a hunter but an “influencer” trying to bolster his follower numbers.. I accidentally found this clown the other day while watching some air rifle videos. While he is an idiot, and says and does dumb stuff routinely, he does seem to be a decent hunter and always tries to eat whatever he harvests. Squirrel, rabbit, crow, pigeon, coon, etc. I don't think he does anything deliberately to gain followers. It appears that he is just that dumb.

The southern border might be the tipping point. I don't think "civil war" is realistic, but I certainly think rebellion and vigilantism is not far off. Sooner or later, the TX locals are going to be fed up and start taking matters on themselves. I hope that's not the outcome, but I could see it happening.
It continues to astonish me how Blinken, Mayorkas, Jean-Pierre, etc. continue to be allowed to give half-@$$ or no answers to legitimate questions. I realize that the vast majority of the media is nothing more than an extension of the DNC, but jeez!
How about Biden's word jumbles last week? Did he do too much sampling at that brewery? There is NO WAY that any reasonable, sane person can truly believe that he is fit for office. No way, period. I heard some commentary from Rick on Rick & Bubba about it. He stated that his father recently passed after battling Alzheimer's for 10 years. He said Biden's behavior is exactly like his father's was during the first five years of the disease.

Any predator left unopposed in the wild will eventually overpopulate and throw the given food chain out of balance.
Coyotes - The only thing they have to worry about in the mid-west are guns and vehicles. Wolves - It's been proven that they must be hunted to be controlled. Largemouth Bass - Don't remove any from a pond and you will eventually have a pond full of unhealthy and hungry bass.
So, where does the bobcat sit in the IN food chain? I guess coyotes could kill kittens, but I don't think that would happen too often. Once the rabbits, turkeys, squirrels, etc are decimated in a given area, what's next? Checkens, sheep, pets?

That might be the dumbest looking facial hair style that I have ever seen. Just saying...
I have not researched the subject enough to produce an informed opinion. If he's guilty, throw the book at him and levy maximum punishment/fines. If it's another jealous witch hunt, I hope he sues the crap out of the instigators. Just my opinion.

. Maybe,just maybe, a dark horse will appear and save us from the nightmare of a choice between Trump and Biden. Good Christ, is the best we can come up with, again? We are going to hell in a hand-basket. A doddering old fool and a megalomaniac? I have a legitimate question, my Democrat friend: Just what is it that the liberal media, Democrat lawmakers, etc. think the public perceives when they constantly say that Trump will be "the end of our democracy, instill fascism," etc? I am truly asking an honest question. I'd ask my FIL, but he is so narrow-minded that he would likely suffer a medical event. Just how would the reelection of Trump "end our democracy"? Unless I am missing something, we would still have the House and Senate oversight. Correct? If I remember correctly, during Trump's tenure, the border was more secure, the economy was thriving, approval rating were high, etc. Right? Also, other than future votes, what do the Democrats hope to gain from an open southern border?

Louisville fans are getting restless as well. I don't think it will happen, but would not be shocked if both UL and IU have openings after this season. I guess contract buyouts will play somewhat of a factor. I have already read where UL will save a good amount if they keep Payne through the season.

We were supposed to get 1"-3", but got closer to 4". I left at 1:00 a.m. and plowed/salted until 2:00 p.m. Just when we thought it was time to go home, more businesses would call in. It was exhausting after only getting maybe 3hrs sleep, and that's combined with being out three consecutive nights last weekend. Just like with hangovers, the older you get the harder it is to recover from lost sleep.
On the bright side, I am retired from professional snow removal after today. I start a new job Monday and the company does not own one damn plow truck! Now I can get back to plowing my own driveway and some of the neighbors' with my ATV.

Biden and his Cabinet of idiots, namely John Kerry and Jennifer Granholm, continue to push and mandate electric vehicles while Elon Musk continues to say that neither the technology nor the infrastructure is ready for them to be the primary mode of transportation.
I don't like cliches, but "play stupid games win stupid prize" has never been more apparent. Immigration, inflation, foreign affairs, DEI, etc. The Republican brass can't get their collective $#!t together and we end up with an incoherent puppet in the White House.
Ditto on the hybrid vehicles. My current company car is a Ford Maverick. It gets over 40 mpg and is a pleasure to drive. Not worth a hoot for hauling much, but meets my needs most of the time.

I keep a pair of jersey gloves in every jacket and several in my truck. I always have spares close by if one gets wet or develops a hole. Cheap and simple. If I lose one, no big lo$$.
I have a pair of rechargeable heated gloves for plowing snow with the ATV. They are great for that, but too bulky to do much of any work with.
