I would love to see a Golden. I’m in Nebraska and agree about how many bald Eagles are around without people actually noticing.

How do you tell a Golden? Guessing they look like an immature Bald but bigger? But how do you tell if they are not next to another Eagle?

I’ve seen a lot of guys with Social Media pull on YouTube rave on the benefits of a tiller and am seriously considering for my next boat.

Uncut Angling, Jay Siemens, Clayton Schick, guides, etc…

Dobbs is a stud and made the Broncos’ D look bad most of the game. Not on him, and as a Broncos fan, I’d much rather take him over Wilson, but LET’s GO BRONCOS!

Our GE took a crap after 3 years and a $750 repair that lasted 3 months until the next $675 repair.

We bought a Bosch as a recommendation from the repair guy and have been happy for last 4 years. Was another guy shopping to replace his GE while we were shopping for ours for what it’s with to ya.

Ha, thanks for the helpful report.

You were correct; we caught fish anywhere from 12’ – 21’ and got our fish early and often.

Yes, we’re staying at the Waterfront.

Had a GE crap out on us 3 years into a brand new home. $698 for a new motherboard??? beat out a new $1500 replacement. Blame the wife for picking out appliances at the new build for an exclusive “slate” GE color.

4 months later another $400 repair needed.

Went to NFM and bought a Bosch at the suggestion of the sales guy who was helping out another former GE customer.

Can’t say it will stand the test of time, and he was a sales guy, but said that they have lots of customers come in due to GE dishwasher issues.

Thanks for all the tips guys; definitely a different kind of fishing. I’m not trying to complain but it’s not necessarily a “fun” way to fish. We limited on sockeye 2 days and halibut another with some bonus cod and rockfish; going after halibut again tomorrow. I’m 36 and run 20-30 miles every week but reeling in a 4 lb weight with a fish attached in over 500’ of water is a real ball-buster. My left bicep was toast after that day.

I can tell in your photo you fished the Kenai with Kyle. Red fishing is weird, but since they’re krill/plankton eaters, there’s nothing you can put on a hook to get them to bite. King, silvers, and pinks are all willing biters and are fished more traditionally. Plugs, spinners, spoons, spin n glo’s with eggs are trolled or cast. Almost all of it s done in a boat and not from the bank in waders.

We did go with Kenai Kyle one day and we were in waders from the bank.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys; I’m getting really excited and will post pics when we get back.

Do you know if you can find hip waders relatively cheap up there? My dads buddy advised to not check a bag and I’m not sure how I can get all my gear in a carry-on.

Headed up to the Platte area on Francis Case in the morning. Anybody with any recent reports or know if they’re on crawlers yet or still a minnow bite?

They are still there.

Thanks; we’re headed up there Saturday; can’t wait.

thank you also for sharing that a day like that isn’t the normal

It is very rare for us to drop on a bite like that where we’re able to essentially fish one hole each for all or most of the show. Marcus hadn’t been out on the ice to even have things narrowed down so this time around we have to chalk the outcome up to dumb luck. That said, the perch bite out near Webster has been very strong to start the year with good average size.

Glad you liked the show. Thanks for watching!~

Very timely episode for me; thank you.

I’m taking my pops on a trip with Marcus this Friday and Saturday in a SnoBear.

HATTIE B’s Chicken.

I like hot stuff and their “Hot” is about as hot as I can go. 3 hot tenders takes me 2 tall boy PBRs to get through.

Skip the Grand Ole Opry in my opinion.

Nothing wrong with being a mechanic bro, or being from Iowa. I’m in construction from Nebraska.

My point is this, everyone has all of the sudden become an expert at viruses when 2 years ago, that was not on their radar.

If you were to get sick, you would go to your doctor. That same doctor, in a majority of instances, would tell you to get the vaccine but people are ignoring that advice from the same person they would go to if they had a problem.

I don’t care if you do or don’t get a shot, but it upsets me when people have a stance or judge another person if they did or didn’t get that shot.

Continue on.

You cant make this stuff up, on google discover news this morning an ” expert ” says that the ohcomeon virus will run rampant through the country bringing this crap to an early end.

If you will take the time to study history including medical history every major illness in this world has started its downhill slide long before any effective vaccine was ever produced.
And, those very vaccines caused more long term effects across the board than they prevented.
This has been written about by many accredited doctors world wide.

Before you flame me for that, take the time to research it for yourself, and hopefully the truth hasnt been taken down before it can be read, well, there are books that contain the truth but it takes some folks too much effort to go to the library.

I think everyone needs to listen closely to this sound advice.

This mechanic from Iowa has done his research and I would strongly suggest doing whatever he says over whatever education and research an actual “doctor” has devoted their lives to.

Dawn dish soap does work wonders. But it’ll be important to seal the slab. Otherwise dog pee will come back one random day when you carpet or hardwood the floor and turn a fan on. Sealing will encapsulate all the toxins so they can’t be released

Thanks for the suggestion; I’ll try that this weekend.

I’m 36 years old , 5’9” and weighed 239 lbs a year and a half ago. I currently bounce around from 178-180 and have been there same about for the last 7 months. It took about 9 months to lose 60lbs and I’ve kept it off.

I used MyFitnessPal to track my calories but honestly don’t do that anymore since I basically eat the same things and have a pretty good idea of calorie intake. Now, I eat mostly grilled chicken and baked fish as the main part of most meals but load up on broccoli and cauliflower. I would eat more red meat but it’s just too expensive for me.

I also started running a mile every day without stopping and gradually increased it. I’m up to about 18-25 miles a week now and have run as much as 7 miles but usually it’s around 2.

I’m in the best shape of my life and know this doesn’t work for everyone.

The main things I’ve learned:

Weigh yourself every morning. It’s the best way to monitor what you did the day before and if you’re making progress. I had a couple of “cheat” weekends and the Monday morning weigh-in really got you thinking if it was worth it or not.

Track your calories with the app if EVERYTHING you put into your body. It sounds annoying and it is, but you get out of it what you put in and it’s pretty crazy once you figure you can eat a bag of peanut M&Ms or 2 bags of broccoli or a fat grilled chicken breast with hot sauce and have the same amount of calories; again, makes you think if it was worth it or not.

Work out every day with cardio and track the calories you burn. I treat it just like work as something I had to do every day and even would get up at 4:00 to run 2 miles on the treadmill before getting g to work by 6:00 am. Again, I hate running, and it’s crazy to bust your ass running 2 miles and realize you just burned the same amount of calories that were in those Peanut M&Ms, once again, really makes you think about those choices.

I was 239 and never really considered my diet and now it’s basically 2nd nature. I haven’t had a cookie in over a year but still drink beer, though I have cut back, and will still eat the occasional sweets and such.

Good luck to everybody and if nothing else, it does help out with convincing the old lady for some additional “Adult Time”

It’s a bad situation and I don’t know what is right, but if your family was innocently killed like these 10 people, I get why they hate us.

Alot going on here –
my $.02
1) Trusses for the trunk lines. Soffits stink.
2) Pick either Casements or Double hungs – They are 2 completely different looks
3) I’m a Marvin guy
4) LP with diamond Kote is the way to go
5) Good choice with garage door size, as long as your stuff fits
6) We put in a ton of Adura Flex fully adhered, but I put “Coretec” in my house
7) ICF is the Cats meow, However there is a learning curve for the trades

FYI – I was a Sup for a few of the nationals and CM for a few smaller Builders, got around 1000 units under my belt. If you have any specific Q’sfeel free to shoot me a PM

I live in Nebraska and work for Pella Windows, so take this for what it’s worth.

Casements, double or single-hungs, whatever you decide, I would go with a wood product over a vinyl; especially in the temps you live in.

They are cheaper and no maintenance, but a good wood window, installed properly, with minimum maintenance, will far out-perform any vinyl window you can find.

Any up to date reports?

Headed back in 2 weeks. Buddies just got back and said they had a tough time with all of the baitfish on the screen and mayflies on the water.

FYI,

I ended up using the same Bisquick batter I usually do, but the gluten free version.

I didn’t like it as much as the regular stuff but it was still good. All of my buddies didn’t seem to know any better and ate it up, so there is that.

Think I’ll stick to the gluten heavy stuff until a need arises to go back.

Yes, I’m a Steph Curry fan but have been following the Suns since they’re a great story and fun to watch as a Warriors replacement.

Really don’t like CP3 but thinks he deserves a championship; really don’t care who wins and just hoping it goes 7.

Drove thru state 2 weeks ago and got a picture of my wife’s vehicle going 73 in a 60. Doesn’t show and can’t tell who’s driving. $65 ticket not the end of the world but don’t they have to prove who was driving at that time?

I really don’t get your point. You, or “your vehicle” was going 13 over the speed limit and your point is what?

Maybe claim you were both driving at the time and only get 6.5 over each; seems like a fair trade.

This is coming from a Nebraskan, by the way.

We did very well; best fishing I’ve ever had up there.

Hail no. I’ve only tried it on 2 occasions and my walleye is so much better that I won’t ever order it again.

I live in Nebraska and drive about 4.5 hours to Francis Case to fish. The cost isn’t the problem preventing me from ordering it; it’s strictly the taste. From what we spend on hotel, gas and Busch Light for a weekend to bring home 8 walleye, I try not to do the math on what our fish cost per pound

I’d also make sure you’re connections are good where it’s wired to the battery and are tightened down properly.

Hopefully it’s that easy of a fix.
