Many moons ago...it all started somewhere deep in the Catskills...
We are still kickin' it together. I guess I'm lucky, I camp yearly with 6 or 7 guys (32 years running) and not one of them has a wife who will do what we do. Mrs. Rider and I have been at it regularly since '78.
Here we go again! Heading out in the morning to yet another undisclosed location somewhere only the boat can take us. Might be back in a week...might not! We shall see what mother nature has in store! See y'all on the other side!
I once measured countertops in a house where the owner had a pistol range (3 bays wide) under his 5 car attached garage. He also had a tunnel from there to his carriage house. His gun safe was a room with a safe door for access. If only I had the resources!
It's an Arbogast Hula Popper.
I think the lure is older than me! I've had it since I was a kid.
I don't think the lure even finished splashing before he took it!
I didn't have a steel leader on, just 8lb. mono, as soon as my buddy had the net under him, he shook and cut the line with his razors!
Back to the grind! Got home last night. Could not have hit a better stretch of weather! And the fishing was the best in years. The smallmouth and largemouth were both hitting in the evenings, and then I found this guy in the weeds on a sunny afternoon about 1:30. I'm having a hard time adjusting...
Don't even get me going on "free" lunches! I Don't get why the 80-90% of kids whose parent(s) can easily afford white bread and bologna ( I suffered through 12 years of it) are entitled to lunch, and often times breakfast as well, on my dime! I raised 4 kids...no-one got a free lunch and we were...
I'll be heading out to a secret, undisclosed location in the morning. Likely, no-one will hear from me for a couple weeks. Life will be rough, but we will endeavor to persevere!
I've decided to let go of my bike! "Mrs. Rider" sold her bike a few years back after we rode past a fatal MC accident. Mine has been idle for 2 years while I tore it down and gave it a new paint job then just haven't found the time for it...blame the boat, the RV. the range time, whatever... it...
Max Sykes right on rt. 5.
Got my first shotgun there. Left handed 20 ga. 870. Traded it back to him 20 years later straight up for a much older 12 ga. Ithaca Deerslayer (police special) with a corncob forstock.
When they built the mall they brought in hundreds of trucks loaded with giant blocks of Styrofoam. I think the entire place floats on the swampy, oil-slicked cespool it was built over!
sounds to me like he was shooting blindly at the general area of the barrel and hoping to hit something... quick reaction to thwart a possible shot on target from the assassin. Pretty sure he would have had more than 6 round in the mag!
Phillips 66 is shutting down the refinery in LA because of overreaching gov't control! The dominoes will start falling faster in Cali. because of this!
I wonder if the influx of sticker business will offset the cost of the sign!
He is giving away a pro-Trump sticker package on his site...
I had one sent to my camping buddy who is a hard core Dem. (retired teacher).
I don't know if this has been posted anywhere here yet... apparently the guy is a registered Dem!
I may have to make the hour drive just to see it lit up at night along the thruway!
Amsterdam Sign...
