Since I have 26 years of sobriety guess I’ll have to use my shaft tamer. :cry::cry::D:D

That is a good deal Clay.

I happen to have several friends that may kin to Grumpy’s friends. A ready source of bottles.

Interesting. Times change, language changes with local and time.

When I install SILENCERS on my bow string, it’s to SILENCE THE STRING NOISE…mufflers I buy at Midas…they bring the noise to levels the cops like…

❓

In winter I got to wear my Grandpa’s Mackinaw coat and a muffler…

Not far there pard!!:wink:

I didn’t know Midas sold silencers.

Bet that was cute. Warm though. 🙂

You being from near Yankee land I was just wondering about terminology. We are trying to muffle sound right? Keeping our neck warm be under emergency gear. 🙂

By the way, Steve has wool offered for tying flies. 😆 Or string mufflers.

Dang. Nice and green already. Only thing I have green is some crabgrass beside a little on the lilac bush. :evil::evil:

I don’t know about all but today it was 22 mph with gust to 35. Really wasn’t that bad but the only thing between me and the north pole is a barbed wire fence out there somewhere and my 6′ picket fence in my backyard. I was mowing dead grass and it was pretty nasty.

Won’t be long before we’re getting dirt but hopefully it’s been wet enough it won’t be as bad as the last couple-three years. I think there’s been pretty good moisture up in Eastern CO. and western KS. so that’ll be good.

Y’all get quite a bit of wind up there? You have trees? 😕

Noticed green on our lilac bush today.

Then the weatherman has to remind me “Being the windiest place in the country and our windiest months are March and April with April being the worst and yet come”.

But everyone has their bad and goods in their geographical location.

Around here though we have a great #1 excuse to cover a bad shot:”*&^%$^*&%$ wind”….(that’s “stinking wind”):D

Some things need muffled. 🙄

Just a thought Doc, wondering what kind of string mufflers you use. 😀

Too hot and polluted in these parts for trout… Used to have em here 60 years ago, but no more.

I fly fish for blue gill now. It’s actually kind of fun. Never did get into tying flies. Don’t really have much knowledge of or skill with the fly rod.

If you want some wool for making flies let me know. It’s courser than wool used for cloth.

Steve I just figured you had an exotic name for your particular type of string silencers:like “Wooly Bully” or something.

Joke it was… Just observing that when a doe pees, it sprays. When a buck pees, it drills down straight to the ground 🙄

OH!

I was gonna go looking for drag marks. 😉

Hope someone enjoys my hat that blew towards Oklahoma last year.

Cool hat but that would set ol’Doc’s allergies off the deep end.:D:D

Scott, we’re still classified as extreme drought but we’ve had a pretty wet winter and we’re 3/4″ above normal moisture instead of many inches below. That may not seem like a lot to a lot of people but when you’re in a dry land it’s a blessing.

The weather folk are talking at least a small El Nino in the pacific and if so that’ll bring in moisture this spring and early summer.

Unfortunately that ups the chance of severe weather also.

We’re on the beginning edge of tornado alley here and hail gets awful sometimes.

Other than that, I’m hopeful and praying for wet, not just for we humans but all the critters. It’s hard on them big time.

It might be nice to go stumping in green like we used to.

Thanks for asking.

Be glad when y’all get unburied.

We’re into the period here between cold and wind so I’ve been enjoying that for a couple of days.

Already hate this time change though. Half the day seems already wasted. :lol::lol:
