Thanx for the well wishes everyone cept Wayne..Jerk I dont know how goats age compared to dogs or humans.I do have an Alpine that is 17 yrs plus,the vet said its the oldest goat he has seen so far.I would say that Rocket is prolly old ebough for a drink but "he" is what they call a wether so no Hanky Panky for him. Joe

Chicken livers are what I usually use.They dont have to be stinky and gross,the cats like the blood that comes from them.Cut bait and shrimp are also good bait. Joe

As some of you remember today is Jimmy Maurice "Rocket" Richard the goats birthday.He is turning 10 today.He was born during a thunderstorm by c-section at the vets office while the power was out.I held the flashlight and cleaned him up.The vet sewed his mother up and she is still around today.His mother is named Lydia and his father was just called "Stinky".Stinky is long gone up the road for obvious reasons.Jimmy was first named after a good friend of mine who shares his birthday but it was soon obvious that this goat was much more than a "Jimmy".He was and is the fastest goat I have ever seen and he was soon known as "Rocket" after one of my boyhood heros.He is also called the Carpenter sometimes because he likes to beat his head on wood and sounds like someone hammering nails.He has no other redeeming qualities but I like him just the same. Some of Rockets friends; notice the wood by the shed door is torn up. Joe

You need some snot rockets down there dawg,come to think of it I would like some down here!Lets smuggle some down this summer! Joe

I know a little,mostly motor theory and control circuits but you never know. Joe

Was thinkin that today when I was thumpin down the river with the Beastie Boys crankin today.I think I saw a couple of floating carp after we passed over them.Does that count in the tourney? Joe

One of the best threads ever!Lots of great info.Heres a tip,grad the bottom of your steering wheel and looking in the mirror move the wheel in the direction you want the trailer to go.Hope this helps Joe

Dutch, My bud and his GF are doing it.Its pretty cool from the sounds of it.They exchange stuff in the cache,just trinkets and such.Some of the stuff his GF out in have ended up in Arizona.Very cool stuff and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg.Have fun with it.It did get much easier since they quit scrambling the signals. Joe

Might be a good idea for the GTG.Home made jerky,bring your best recipe.Sorta like a wine tasting for rednex.I'm in with a kickass deer jerky! Joe

Buying a boat motor these days is like buying a tractor,you have red green and orange(in some places).You go with where the dealer is and how good they are.They are all really good but if you have a 2 hr drive for service it's not so good.Pick your color and fish on!!! Joe For the record,I have a merc.No problems at all.

Glad it was you bud,didn't think you could smell that skunk all the way up there.Art and I went out for Crappies today and just caught the smell!Couldn't even coax a cat out of the water.54 degree water temp 65 air temp,you'd think somethin would be eating!.I did get a smallmouth and a bluegill a couple of days ago during lunch so I figgered they would be up for a little bite today. Joe

I knew it was just a matter of time before that video showed up here.Ya got to love Break.com. Joe

If you are going to use a dehydrator..and I do..This is the bomb.Thanx Santa.. http://www.lequip.com/dehydrator/ Joe

Got to love those little pink bombs!I bought a few the other day at a deli.Took one bite but they were not done right..too dry.I wish I could get some like I used to get when I was in the Navy.Good times,cept for the ex who found out what a "dutch oven" was. Joe

Is one of those mine????And is another one for my brudder??Looks great bud,been sorta wondering where you were. Joe

I usually use a dehydrator with mine.I cant stand the liquid smoke and dont use it.I marinade it like you do,in bags for a day or so.I squeeze the liquid out and pat dry with paper towles before putting it in the dehydrator.I would say the oven at the lowest setting on the highest rack with the door open should work. Good luck. Joe

At the grocery store for the channel cats.Just get yourself some chicken livers.Fish it 12" off the bottom and just wait for dinner.At least that works here.Other good baits are cut bait,worms and shrimp.Good eatin! Joe

Good job Gerrit.Need some pics of you cutting the grass instead of fishing!! Joe

Dont forget to get your picks in.Another COT race and another short track...Good luck.If you want to see the best racing in NASCAR the trucks roll Saturday at 3:00 on Fox.Go Johnny B!!! Joe

Happy Birthday Monique,40 is a great year.Are you still coming to Lakair after you have killed TJ?There may be some guys that need a spot in a boat. Joe

Too funny,thats a blast from the past!!

16 things it takes most of us 50 years to learn A compiled list of things that take most of us 50 years to learn. Do you agree/disagree on some of them? -Quang- 1. The badness of a movie is directly proportional to the number of helicopters in it. 2. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight-saving time. 3. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests you think she’s pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment. 4. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above-average drivers. 5. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is: age 11. 6. There is a very fine line between “hobby” and “mental illness.” 7. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them. 8. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be “meetings.” 9. The main accomplishment of almost all organized protests is to annoy people who are not in them. 10. If there really is a God who created the entire universe with all of its glories, and he decides to deliver a message to humanity, he will NOT use as his messenger a person on cable TV with a bad hairstyle or in some cases, really bad make-up too. 11. You should not confuse your career with your life. 12. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter/janitor, is not a nice person. 13. No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. 14. When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very often, that individual is crazy. 15. Your true friends love you, anyway. 16. Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance

Popular Mechanix just did a shootout on lawnmowers..They like the Huquvarna as a best buy.Dont know if the article is available on line or not. Joe
