Received the 8 track as a wedding gift.

Wait…does that date me ?

Lucky for you there are a whole bunch of old farts in here. Not me of course.

I "accidentally" went fishing a bit ago.

A few weeks ago, I restored all my old reels and got everything shiny and prepped. Put two in my car, just in case. Made my tackle box fresher.

Son wanted to walk the dog at Morse Lake instead of one of the other parks close by. Suddenly.

Pulling in to the park, my thoughts were, crap on a cracker! I have no bait! Perfect opportunity, though.

I was not letting this go. Rummaged through my box and grabbed up stuff to make up small spinner.
Many years ago, I had bought a selection of the tiniest things I could find for Indiana fishing, dumped all my 4" and 6" hooks, 8oz and 12oz weights, etc. that I had for surf fishing or off a pier in the arroyo.

Fifth cast, I caught a 7" sunfish. Gave it to the guy about 50ft away, downstream toward the dam.

Then went farther upstream, past a buoy barrier chain. Lost count of how many casts, but caught about a 10" catfish, on a spinner, for crying out loud.
The two guys fishing close, neither wanted the cat, so I walked down and tossed in the oxygenated swirls near the dam.

That was fun, but NOW, I have the fever! More than ever!
I need to prepare and do this for real. Bring some live bait next time!
A guy on the way sells crickets, worms and minnows. I know what to do. Why am I not doing it?

wife was hungry after her Dr appt. so we hit King Gyro's for lunch

I too like the gyro

Not a fan of gyro, but they have a pretty good Italian beef

Not wanting to sound like too much of a fanboy, but Eley Force is the absolute best cheap ammo I've found in my .22s.

I still have a hard time thinking that 10 cents/rd is cheap for .22lr.

Ditto for me with $5.49/lb hamburger, but that's the world we live in.

.22 Match ammo is 4X that.

I really really miss cheap briskets.

Just like bacon. It used to be a throwaway part

I forget if it was last week or the week before, but Kroger had them for $2.99/lb.

Bought one for like $1.54/lb last week at kroger

I remember seeing that, but it had to have been marked down, right? I'm talking their advertised price.

The barcode wasn't scanning. The cashier was going to enter the price on the sticker which was at $5.99/lb. I asked if at the end if it would be brought down to the $2.99/lb.

It took 3 of them to figure out how to put it in the register and they told me that was going to be the cost.

God bless stupid cashiers!

Good day all.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Evenin' target.

 

[Brandon]

God bless stupid cashiers!

I don't feel bad seeing kroger admitted to raising prices just because they could.

And 3 cashiers and they all agreed, no need to mansplain, right?
