As you all know I caught some nice Trout yesterday. I made a mess of filliting the big one and just gutted and cut the heads off the rest. They were too big to fit in a pan without it, but would go on a grill just great.
ANNYWAY, I took all the guts, heads and skin and bones out to this stump bout 70 yards out in the forest back of my house.
I walk down the bear trail a ways and then go bout 40 yards off the trail to this big stump .
I put all the pile on that stump and left it ovetnight.
Today I went to check on it and there wasn't a single scrap of anything left there. They must have even licked the stump.😳😂👍
Just thought some of you would like to know.
I have a pretty good relationship with them.
They stay outta my house and I leave them alone. Even feed them from time to time.
Haven't seen one this year yet. But I still have all my bear boards down.😁👍🤠

Well guys, I posted the snow banks pics from around the house when I got up here Tuesday.
The one in the front yard finally melted this evenin, May 2nd. However, the ones on the side of the house and behind the garage are still there. They're in the shade so they'll be here for awhile longer.
Leavin in the mornin for Windsor. It'll be good to get back home and a little warmer weather.
Plus, maybe Ben and I can get out to the Napa for some Stripers.
Been over 3 weeks since I've been out.

Have you ever wondered who first uttered the phrase:



"You Gotta Be Shittin Me?" It wasn't a MARINE, SOLDIER or SAILOR

Well, it just so happens to have originated through the Father of Our country, way back when George Washington was crossing the Delaware River with his troops.

There were 33 (remember this number) in Washington's boat. It was extremely dark and storming furiously and the water was tossing them about.

Finally, Washington grabbed Corporal Peters (remember this name) and stationed him at the front of the boat with a lantern. He ordered him to keep swinging it, so they could see where they were heading.

Corporal Peters, through driving rain and cold, continued swinging the lantern back and forth, back and forth.

Then a big gust of wind and a wave hit and threw Corporal Peters and his lantern into the Delaware. Washington and his troops searched for nearly an hour trying to find Corporal Peters, but to no avail. All of them felt terrible, for the Corporal had been one of their favorites.

Sometime later, Washington and his troops landed on the other side, wet and totally exhausted. He rallied the troops and told them that they must go on.

Another hour later, one of his men said, 'General, I see lights ahead.' They trudged toward the lights and came upon a huge house.

What they didn't know was that this was a house of ill repute, hidden in the forest to serve all who came.

General Washington pounded on the door, his men crowding around him.

The door swung open, and much to his surprise stood a beautiful woman...

A huge smile came across her face, to see so many men standing there.

Washington was the first to speak, 'Madam, I am General George Washington and these are my men. We are tired, wet, exhausted, and desperately need warmth and comfort.'

Again, the Madam looked at all the men standing there, and with a broad smile on her face, said, 'Well, General, you have come to the right place. We can surely give you warmth and comfort. How many men do you have?'

Washington replied, 'Well, Madam, there are 32 of us, without Peters.'

And the Madam said, 'You gotta be shittin me...'

Good morning folks, its Thirsty Thursday once again! 🍺 🍻

What a beautiful day ahead. It's 60° now and looking to reach 80° and sunshine. These are the days we've been waiting for!

While I should be playing hookie and going fishing today, I'll be hanging on a ladder running refrigerant linesets and wiring condensing units.. Yippee!!

Memories

Three elderly ladies sit in a diner, discussing their health. One lady says, "You know, I'm getting really forgetful. This morning, I was standing at the top of the stairs, and I couldn't remember whether I had just come up or was about to go down."

The second lady says, "You think that's bad? The other day, I was sitting on the edge of my bed, and I couldn't remember whether I was going to sleep or had just woken up!"

The third lady smiles smugly. "Well, my memory is just as good as it's always been, knock on wood," she says as she raps on the table. Then with a startled look on her face, she asks, "Who's there?"

Have a great day folks!! 🍻

It's the Only Chance

Every Saturday morning Grandpa Walt found himself babysitting his three grandchildren, all boys. The kids always wanted to play ''War'' and Grandpa somehow always got coaxed into the game.

His daughter came to pick up the kids early one Saturday and witnessed Grandpa take a fake shot as one of the boys pointed a toy gun and yelled, "Bang!"

Grandpa slumped to the floor and stayed there motionless. The daughter rushed over to see if he was all right. Grandpa opened one eye and whispered, ''Shhh, I always do this. It's the only chance I get to rest.''

Have a great day folks!!
