I’ve only ever cooked them up in butter and garlic. Its really hard to do it any other way. They’re just so dang good! Especially when put over some Veni steaks.

I went for a short hike yesterday and didn’t find any yet. Did end up with a bunch of Ramps though. Chopped them up and threw them in the TTHD. I think maybe after next weeks warm up they will start popping.

Boldy and KK97 just are not allowing anyone to stop them. Has that second KK goal been changed to be Hartman’s? I dont think KK even touched it and was off a defender. I think KK even pointed at Hartman like that was your goal when it happened and not the traditional nice pass or whatever you see.

If you watch the replay on the NHL website it hits KK97 right in the Wild logo on his jersey. .5 Seconds to go. Great awareness by Hartman to get it to the net!

What a game! Glad I stayed up for that one. Rossi finally on the board (it had to come from the IDO hate ) Boldy is playing on a different level, but a level I think most of us expect. KK97 doing KK97 things (minus the lazy play/backcheck) and Gus Bus was on except for the one he let in, that was a bit of a blunder. JEEK is playing great and will hopefully get some points on the board soon. How about that horrible PK!?!? I love that there #1 line can’t get it done! The frustration on Eichel’s face during one of the last PK’s says it all. They can’t compete with our first line, and as a TMSF, it feels amazing! lol. Huge game tomorrow! Let’s GO!!

Yes. That was odd, I had to search the topic to even find it.

That happened to me for a few hours yesterday. strange..

I heard a stat on the telecast last night that the Wild are undefeated and something like 32-0 (please correct me) when leading after 2 periods? That’s crazy!

Correct! And Vegas has never come back from 3 goals down in any playoff game. So we just gotta get 3 goals in the first, hold the lead in the second, then shutdown the 3rd! In a perfect world anyways.

That is crazy! Does anyone ever jig fish out there? I need to get out there next year.

Some guys do jig fish the reefs around the “cans” but its mostly the smaller males in there.

Drove all night Friday, April 4th, and got into Port Clinton about 630AM. We unloaded gear at the condo and went straight to the lake. Fished out by the Cans & We got our three man limit of 18 fish in three and half hours. Trolling Bandits 60-80′ back. Things were shaping up to be great!

Sunday we fished until we got blown off and boated 12. Monday was some of the same and only got a few hours before being blown off again and boated 7.
Tuesday was a full blow day with 25mph winds out of the NE.

Wednesday we switched it up and went and played bumper boats out by Kelly’s Island but it was worth it! Fish were bigger and they were everywhere! Took some time but again got off the lake with our 18.

Thursday was a questionable day to be on the water. The winds switched and so did the currents. The muddy water had invaded where we did so good the day before and we struggled to get 6 before calling it a day. Fishing boards in 5-7′ rollers is tough and IMHO not very enjoyable. Friday was forecasted with 20-30mph winds out of the North East again so we packed up and made the trek home.

Our three boat, nine man crew brought back 207 Walleyes! Lake Erie in itself is one hell of an amazing fishery! Epic as a matter of fact. If you ever get the opportunity to go, GO!! Such a blast.

Many werent big names at that time, but sure are now! Its funny a couple of them I recognized their voices but not their faces LOL

I said that about Billy Bob Thornton. I knew that voice because I just finished up Landman a couple weeks ago. The woman was arguing with me that it wasn’t him. She looked it up & I was right!

Watched Tombstone last night and forgot how good that movie was! It’s been many years since I’ve seen in and forgot how many big names are in that movie.

If consistency is what you’re after, Look into getting a Sous Vide. Set for 125-130 for a couple hours, then into a HOT cast iron to sear the sides. It’s absolutely amazing! Same doneness from top to bottom. I just did a 24hr chuck roast at 130, then Sear. Its just as good if not better than a Ribeye!

Gus could certainly steal a couple games. He’s got the talent. That’s as long as he can hold up. Is Fleury low key hurt? Why isn’t he getting any games down the stretch?

The shitty part here is Dallas is going to take the #1 seed from the Jets, the Wild are falling into the WC2 spot…… and we’re going to end up with freaking Dallas in the first round anyway

Is it really going to matter? I’m as optimistic as they come, but Dallas, Winnipeg, or Colorado will outplay us. Even if the Golden boy(s) do come back. I hope I’m wrong and somehow this team turns back into the team they were back in November. But I’m definitely not holding my breath.

On a side note, Ovi is 3 away from tying the goal record with 8 games to go. Does he break it this season!?

I saw that this morning.. Too damn bad. I really enjoyed his acting.

Saw my first Robin today, going to be awhile for hummers here

I found a Robin Nest with two eggs in it already! Seems way to early too me. Will they potentially have two hatches this spring? Hell I just saw my first robin about a week and a half ago. Now nesting with Eggs!?

I need to sleep with the TV on every night.
The more quiet it is the more loud the tinnitus is

I can relate to this. It’s gotta be on or I’ll lose my mind. I need background noise almost always when at home. I’ve tried explaining it to my lady friend but she doesn’t quite understand. My left ear has had hearing loss since I was a child. Horrible ear infections, tubes, the whole nine yards. Today, its much of the same as most of you explain. My left ear is a mess and my yearly hearing test shows it. I do my best to wear hearing protection at work but what really gets me is the bang from the 30-06 in November.

Thanks for explaining it like that B-man. It makes better sense in that aspect.

You’re right. Nothing can compare to the sounds of Ma Nature.

I live in a first ring suburb with a single maple in the yard. Neighbors all say yes when asked to tap their trees. I run 15 taps, get five gallons or so using aa wood fired barrel stove. Likely not cost effective but fun and tastes fantastic.

That’s how the addiction starts! I see guys on bookface asking if they should tap the two trees they have in their suburban property. I tell them all yeah! Then go talk to your neighbors and tap theirs too!

Your not kidding. We were joking about Ovie getting all 7 goals tonight because he’s always played against us well.

I was just looking at the brackets for NCAA to see when the Minnesota teams played. Mavs’s @4, Goph’s @7 and Denver tomorrow just because I want to watch Zeev. Should be a good tourney either way.

Wow guys. Not one post today? How am I supposed to waste company time reading this hockey nonsense if you guys aren’t posting!? Kidding of course. So, anyways, how many goals is big ol’ Ovie going to get tonight?

It’s been running like crazy for us the last few days. Our three 55 Gallon drums were full Tuesday with more left out in the woods. Started boiling yesterday morning, hoping to curve the time its going to take this weekend. The weather doesn’t look very pleasant.

Reef, Download the Merlin Bird App. Its great at helping identify birds. From what I can see, I agree its a Grey Jay/Canada Jay.

I agree with Gitchie. The frost prevented them from running early on when temps first got warm enough. We put taps out one the 23rd of February and didn’t get anything until the 4th or 5th. But once it started, it ran good! I think we’re on par this year compared to other years. Some are better than others. It All depends how long we can keep these perfect temps going. Made just over 5 gallons of syrup last weekend. This week we are now sitting on at least 150 Gallons in the storage barrels plus whatever ran in the woods from yesterday and now today. Gotta work till noon today, then the boiling will commence!

I appreciate the knowledge and input, thank you. Now to do some looking & comparing over the weekend.

Updates usually refine performance and sometimes add handy features. My guess is the older gen models have slower processors so at some point they just stop updating them.

So probably not critical for what I’m doing most days. Thanks!

What ever way you go, dont assume your current wiring will work. Confirm it is 10/2 tinned marine grade, you can get some good stuff cheap on Amazon. Run the power to an inline fuse holder (7.5Amp) then to a switch near your battery. From the switch jump up to 6 gauge wire to a larger ring connector and connect that direct to your battery. You will alleviate a lot of problems down the line by wiring it all right one time.

Everything will be re-run. Its a 1999 Lund Pro Sport 50th Anniversary Edition I bought from a co-worker a few years ago. Got rid of the old Powerdrive and bought a re-built Terrrova from a friend I go to Erie with for a great price.

How old is you trolling motor? Does it even have I-pilot link capacity? The Terrova was introduced prior to I-Pilot link and even after I-Pilot Link was introduced it was offered at some point in time as a option.

It does have I-pilot. All I use is spot lock, Cruise Control, &/or heading control. Not sure I even need to link them for that suff.

Honest question, what do the Updates provide?

Found what I believe to be a decent deal on two Helix Chirp 10’s, but they are Gen 2. Are updates an issue? What would be my limitations?

I’m a lazy fisherman. Bobbers, Trolling, Lindy Riggin, etc. I don’t need follow the contour. I would like the SI for reasons already posted. I’d be using it to more or less get “Spot on the Spot”.
