Fishfiles 20,145 Posted April 5, 2022 You want me to send you a couple of foot traps ??? You might need a license for that ---- I was a trapper when I was younger , to tell the truth shooting them is much more humane ---- reminds me of a joke , Two nutrias where trapped by steel traps on their foots , they could here the trapper coming down the trap line and hitting each trapped nutria in the head , so the coon-! nitria told the Canadian nutria , I am going to chew off my foot and get free , I will be hopping around on three feet , but at least I will live another day , the Canadian nutria said that sounded good and he was going to do the same , so after chewing off his foot and hopping off the coon-! nutria called back to the Canadian nutria , " What's keeping you , the trapper is getting close ?" , he replied , I chewed off three feet and I ain't free yet 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We left on April 1st and got home early on the 3rd. Wife's been in touch with those later leaving snowbirds and there have been a few storms but all seem to just nick the area before gaining strength to slam inland. I'll be back on October 1st for more Hippy-Dippy weatherman reporting. I will say the weather back here in Ohio stinks. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Wilson_™ 6,564 Posted April 11, 2022 the last few fronts that have come in...... behind each one has been one of those small winter blast..... i think maybe the last may have damage some maple, and black walnut trees, that will be tow years in a row i may not have to gather walnuts, there's used to be a guys, and his 3 boys that would go around and offer to pick your lawn clean of walnuts, i have no idea where he was selling them, most likely over on river side where all the farmers go to sell fresh garden raised produce..... cyde Harris a friend of mine who sells up that way..... said walnut man was making good money selling walnuts etc etc..... i may have to see if i vane locate him, because black walnut are very hard on the mower deck and blades, and you can never find each one, and i cut my yard close to the height of a well main tained gold corse. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
56Sierra 1,844 Posted April 11, 2022 I smash my Walnut hulls, boil them and spray the stain mixed with botate on my log home. Doesn't last as long as I'd like but the stain is free. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 6,564 Posted April 11, 2022 I'd like to see it, if you don't mind, there's a hobby thread fish started..... i just looked at all the threads under general..... i may have missed it, but you should post pics there, along with any details, maybe fish knows where the thread is, it might have been moved , but i wouldn't know where...... there's some great pics / imfo there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,145 Posted April 11, 2022 crush walnut shells are used for media blasting ---- I like my walnuts with Blue Bell homemade Vanilla ice cream , Hershey's chocolate syrup and Miracle Whip This weekend I picked up and racked up branches that were downed by the last two week wind events , it was a lot , filled the golf cart bed heaping over 4 times 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you ever use the search box on the top right hand side, try keeping it simple and use just one word to start , say " Hobby " and the thread will pop up --- not only will it find thread titles , it will locate threads with certain words in them coffee grinds is something else to make stain out of 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 6,564 Posted April 11, 2022 (edited) yeah...... goofy me was washing cloths, and soaking my feet, having coffee, and my morning health drink, it just plain slipped my mind, one of the DOH moments, thank you for posting it up. Edit: I've got rain on my mind too...... i could use a ovwrvast day with light rain lightening and thunder, helps me relax, I'm still very stressed over the last few months.

Freedomflyer 1,885 Posted April 11, 2022 Winter storm watch from 6 tonight till Wednesday morning 6 AM supposed to get 2 to 5" of snow. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 7,600 Posted April 11, 2022 Rain forecast here the next 3 days. I've gotten the water level way down in my duck hole, but not soon enough. The lilly pad shoots have already come up. Hopefully it will dry out quickly enough to kill them before they shade out the ground where other stuff (that ducks eat) can grow. But I'll be out busting out beaver dams again after all this rain moves through. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 6,564 Posted April 11, 2022 we have another front just about to move in, jeep i think your correct this might be a back building large size front...... so far not warnings or watches out, and not a word from MTEARS. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Wilson_™ 6,564 Posted April 13, 2022 heard on the radio this am...... these fronts are going to be long lasting, one after another, some kind of rare weather system, is what i heard, I'm going to dig more into this, for today, high wind, rain..... for days, then back to colder temps mid to low 40's then the rain moves back in...... this is going to hard on farmers trying to plant on time...... plus if this keeps up growing crops in the field will mold, as will hay, which will effect cattle health, and prices. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 7,600 Posted April 13, 2022 Yeah the farmers here are hating life. Cotton should be going in starting about now, and we had a slow rain all night, clearing up for a few hours today, then rain again and heavy storms/tstorms/tornadoes this afternoon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
