We want the land, not the Timmy.

Like I said, I heard it on the radio. I was not privy to the full details, just wanted to see if anyone had heard the same.

That was the guy I was listening to. Thanks for posting the link!

I’d go visit the Shire and Mount Doom.

Thanks for the replies! My pair is coming in the mail and should arrive January 2nd. I will post a review if I have the time. Reason I went with them is the warranty, as it’s lifetime vs two years with Costas. Also, they’re made in the USA, and I think Costas are now made in Italy.

Local news someone fell through at Sny Magill. Careful out there.

I don’t hunt anywhere in Iowa that requires steel shot, so it’s gonna be PB.

Thanks Jimmy! I will do that. The gun doesn’t have removable chokes, so it is what it is, but it’s not a gun I’m gonna modify, it’s too nice.

I think the last season was as good as it could be. I’ve been watching Landman lately and that is quite entertaining.

It was $2.44 a gallon at Kwik Star on Monday, then it was $2.99 by Wednesday. Wish I would’ve filled up.

For a good value 1911, I chose Springfield Armory. For the 1911 that gets wiped down and put away, gotta go original and get a Colt, preferably 70 series. However, as of late, I got a sweet tooth for Brownings and the Hi Power is a classic John Moses Browning gun as well.

I found an FL20 on Craigslist many moons ago and have no intentions on upgrading to a newer unit. Flashers are flashers. When I upgrade next, it’ll be to a livescope potentially. If not, I’ll be fishing with my old FL20.

Yup, if you crossed the bridge onto the island you went too far. Although, there is plenty of good eats on the island as well. When down there, there’s a dolphin ride that is fun, comes with a shrimp boil and all the Busch Lattes you can drink.

My wife and I go out on launches from Louie’s. We’ve caught quite a few whitings on the launches.
Steven is right that it’s hard to beat the seafood at Joe’s. It’s served on paper plates with plastic utensils but the Nate’s special is a great meal.

I always get a pound of grilled shrimp and the coleslaw. I tried their seafood soup last year and it was the bomb, give it a try for a light lunch.

I go to Joe’s Fish Market for all my seafood needs when down that way. Easier then trying to find fish. I surf fished off the island and fished the bay, both with minimal luck.

Went out on Bussey Lake this weekend. 6” of good ice, slop on top. Caught some decent panfish, smaller bass, and some northern on tip ups. Big crappies were biting as well. Gonna be trying again next weekend. Merry Christmas e everyone!

I saw the name Manning and thought maybe this was about Peyton Mannings induction into Da Bears Superfan Club. Not a bears fan but wouldn’t say no to baptism by Italian Beef Juice. Watch the video its pretty entertaining. They accuse Peyton of cultural appropriation for having the same name as Walter Payton.

Must be why he changed it to Paintin’.

Good game Packers! Tough loss but a well coached and played game. Gosh dangit.

I’ll take any marriage advise I can get, thanks mxskeeter!

The longer you let it age, the better it gets. I got an extra brick of it I’m putting in my wife’s car under the drivers seat, in the name of science.

Bought my dad a pack of it when I was over in Monroe getting cheese a month ago. He’s opening it for Christmas, mom is looking forward to it. I’m gonna be getting a lump of coal for this move.

I called Bobby, went to high school with him, and he told me that it had frozen over Friday night going into Saturday morning. He told me not to come up Sunday. I figured people would be out there but didn’t want to fall through. I don’t have Facebook so what Murray’s posted, I didn’t see.

I ended up calling my buddy who owns the bait store in Guttenberg,IA, and he told me that the backwaters were froze over but he wouldn’t advise going out. This was for ice on the bottom of pool 10 and 11. So I ended up staying home and getting my stuff ready for gun season and cleaned out my truck from bow hunting. Plus I ended up getting my deer from the locker and in the freezer, and a walleye to my taxidermy. Day well spent, I’m gonna be out after gun season chasing after fish through the ice.

I just hope the ice season last this year. Last year sucked, it was 2 weeks long.

I was just wondering, it was 3 degrees this morning. The pond in my backyard is frozen over. Three whacks with a spud bar. I didn’t journey too far from shore but I got to wondering when I was done.

Happy Thanksgiving Packers’ fans! First half of play went well!

I hope the new Livescope has 4D display, that way I can catch fish in other dimensions. Fingers crossed.

Defense and run game looking good today. Nice win!

Still got a week left before gun season in Iowa. Took a chunk doe today with my bow. Hitting Thanksgiving hard, looks like it’s gonna get cold in the Hawkeye state next weekend, highs in teens and twenties, single digit lows. Gonna have to get the Vexilar on the charger soon.

I carry Sig everyday. I didn’t jump on their P320, and still carry a P228, P220, and P226. I feel safer having a DA/SA setup.
