If you can get to a parts store, most of them can test the alternator.
Rock Auto usually has the best price on parts, BUT pay close attention to shipping cost if you chose to check it out.

I could care less about this particular infraction. It's all of the other Biden Crime Family activities that I'd like to see fully investigated

Talked Abbie into going after a few showers blew through. Fish were hitting good right off the bat. Slip bobber set no deeper than 18" using crickets. Bite shut off and we switched to red worms and caught a few more. Kept 14 good ones. No idea how many we threw back, but almost went through a 1/2 tube of crickets. Wind was already blowing pretty decent, but when it picked up some more the bite just turned off. Fun time and got enough for our supper some night. ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240609/121d00509d82768e4976b8dcea00c30c.jpg) It's interesting how the slightest change in weather conditions has an immediate impact on fish activity. Every time the sun would peek through the clouds yesterday, no bite whatsoever. Clouds take over, game on.

Any second thoughts I had about cancelling HULU were forgotten when I checked my email this morning and had one announcing pride month programming. No thanks.

Another good morning at the neighbors' pond. Several bluegill and small bass. Red worms were the preference today. Not much interest in crickets.
I managed to land a 3.15# bass. I really didn't think I would get it on the bank before the line broke.
I'm likely done for the season. The temperature is supposed to soar next week and I'm getting more interested in playing golf than cleaning fish. It's been a great spring that I am very thankful for. I've put more fish in the freezer than ever before. The combination of the kids becoming self-sufficient and a new job are big reasons for being able to fish so much.

I recently bought two of these after discovering that HULU had climbed to $100/month. I fully acknowledge that some of that increase was due to our programming and convenience choices. It takes a bit of learning to get familiarized with all of the different features, but I have absolutely no regrets.

I've had a Cabels's for at least 20 yrs. I think it is a 3/4 or 1hp. I also have the tenderizer attachment. It works great for minute steaks and even better on chicken breasts. I also have the foot pedal control that keeps you from constantly turning it on and off with dirty hands.
If you are going to start making sausage, look for a vertical stuffer. Trying to stuff with a grinder is tedious and aggravating. My attitude towards sausage making changed 100% after I bought a stuffer.

Unless I have missed something,almost all legal "experts" including those on CNN and some of Trump's harshest critics, have said this trial was a political sham.
"No one is above the law?" Unless your last name is Kennedy, Clinton,or Biden.

I haven't counted or cleaned them yet, but I have a cooler full from 2.5hrs this morning. I decided to leave when I heard the landowner start his mower. I'd have been there all day shooting the bull with him. I alternated crickets and worms. Bass and bluegill were very active. It sounds strange, but 2lb bass were a hassle. I caught several and they would stir up the shoreline when landing them. In my opinion, those are too big to clean and should be released. I kept plenty of smaller bass and nice male bluegill. I'll have a few cold ones and fire up the Bubba cordless fillet knife after lunch.

My grandson Tyler made dinner tonight. He Sous vide some T-bone steaks from our local farmer and then hot seared them with garlic butter in the iron skillet. He cooked the tater tots in our new Air fryer. Eatin' like a king! I was introduced to sous vide several years ago and have not cooked steak any other way since. I typically put steaks in for two hours at 140 and then sear in a hot cast iron skillet with butter.

Mulberries remind me of the flocks of black birds that would feast in the neighbor's tree and the resulting purple crap that seemed to be everywhere.

I didn't think this would go too far. Louisville simply cannot afford much more bad press or "unforced" errors. Crime is terrible, some of the streets are both drag strips and shooting lanes, the school system can't figure out bus routes, the university's athletic programs are way down (with the exception of the football team), the police dept. is a revolving door, downtown office space has pretty much been abandoned, etc. The last thing the city needs is to play hardball with the #1 golfer who is also known as the nicest guy around. As I previously stated, both the Mayor and Governor seem to have a clear understanding of business and the economy operate.

I can say, with 100% honesty, that I gave it my best try. While in college I was invited to a young lady's apartment for dinner. I get there and she has a salad prepared for me. I didn't see that I had a choice, so I poured on the ranch, ham cubes, and croutons. After a few bites and attempts to swallow it all, I sprinted to the kitchen and threw it and some more up in the sink. Needless to say, the rest of the evening did not go as I planned.
My wife and youngest daughter eat salad almost every day. The oldest daughter and I would rather starve to death.

I had a few crickets and red worms left over from last weekend, so I decided to hit the neighbors" pond at day light Saturday. The big male bluegill were active and hammering the crickets. I ran out of crickets and started using worms. Only small bluegill were interested, no keepers. I then waded through the weeds and tried a different spot. Red ear were taking the worms almost instantly until I ran out of bait. I put 14 nice ones on ice and cleaned them before dinner.
This pond is owned by two neighbors. The one has maintained some of his shore line, the other none. A good portion has been taken over by volunteer trees, blackberries, etc. to the point where an excavator with a brush cutter will be needed to clean it up. I had access to such equipment and offered it and labor at no cost. "We have somebody lined up" was the response I received. Too late now!

I'd say that between the Mayor and Governor, this will quietly go away. I don't agree with either much on politics, but they both seem to have a good understanding of business and the economy.

It will be interesting to see how this turns out. I've read different reports and there appears to be different eye witness opinions.
I watch the Louisville station for local news. If and when another tournament will be played at Valhalla has been talked about almost every day. Playing hardball with Scheffler will not help the cause.

We have the instapot/air fryer combo and use it several times a week. Diced potatoes, wings, fish (breaded and not) and chicken tenders are the main foods I used it for to cook. I'm a wing snob and have absolutely no problem with the results the air fryer gives me. My wife has salmon at least once a week and says the air fryer makes it better than the grill or oven.
In my opinion, the best feature is how well it reheats foods that would otherwise be soggy if the microwave is used. It reheats fries and breaded fish perfectly.
