Nice bass. I never caught one on a buzz bait. Geez, that pole looks like a surf rod. Very long.Good looking Pups, sure make me miss my Kate...
Nope Rhody, I'm not going anywhere, that was my rant over a couple of folks busting on Wookness over his blue posts, one in particular who seems to be negative about everything anyone else does. No not Al...😁
Good news is the Turkey hunt is on for Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning, plus some Carp removal from one of the two ponds on the Farm. I've not had a chance to hunt with my Nephew ever and stopping by his house with a 8 point buck's head and cape in the back of my truck is what started his desire to hunt. He's the President of a fair sizing Residential Management company which had made my Dad and now me a lot of money so its been hard for us to connect.

WELCOME TO THE WATERING HOLE
A stress-free place to gather and share whatever is on your mind! A fun place of mutual respect where you can hang your hat, vent, relax and shoot the bull for a while!
Happy Easter to all who celebrate that faith.
To all others, Happy Spring!
Easter symbolizes a new beginning, so it is fitting that TWH has a new beginning as well!
Along with RFC, TWH has been remodeled!
Actually, it can be anything you imagine it to be!
I am happy to announce that due to the increased bandwidth of the new RFC, there is no longer a need for the weekly closing and re-opening of TWH!!! After 10+ years of weekly "flipping" we now get to keep the doors open continuously! My sincere thanks to our moderators, especially Sophia, for making this possible!
I would also like to thank all the members who have kept this boat afloat for so long! We have become like family here, and now have a permanent residence!
While we have many long-time members who have been enjoying the company found in this amazing virtual bar, we also welcome all new folks. Jump right in! The first drink is always on the house and Veterans always have an open bar!Al The Infidel (Tubby Slayer extraordinaire) is the bar manager.
So, let's get this re-opening celebration going! Set 'em up, Al! Drinks all around!!!

Big gearing with sprockets nearly as large as rims. I’ll have to ask him if he’s crashed it yet on the wild trails he designs. Son rode out one of his tree bridges over a ravine. He likely took the Rokon over it today as wasn’t walking that 1000’ climb section with him.

Thanks.Nice artwork.
I've never had luck with that kind of mount. Eventually wind drag on the flags causes too much movement of the bracket and the fasteners begin wallowing out the holes in the wood. Leverage and all that. Maybe not an issue if there isn't much wind where you live.
Something I've seen work better, though not as attractive, is a two point attachment. The base of the staff on the wall below the fascia and a second supporting bracket on the fascia.
I'll make a custom bracket, I'll try to remember to get a picture.
I have a bracket similar to the one below mounted on the porch post. Had to take my flag in as the bracket worked loose. The head of one of the mounting screws broke off and the the other two screws appear to have backed out or loosened up a bit from wind action over a few years. I think there is enough of the broken screw to pinch with a vise grip and turn it out. Need to get some beefier headed screws to remount the holder. Might have to get a new mounting bracket, or drill out the holes in the present one for bigger screws. I use stainless screws so as no to have rust stains.
I just got a surprise that I wasn’t expecting! It was really cold and frosty this morning, so I was wondering how the baby bluebirds were doing. If you remember my first picture post, there was one of the five eggs still unhatched. Then yesterday the picture showed four babies and no egg. Today there are five babies.

Guy around here likes to build stuff. A few years back he put about a 5HP Briggs and Straton engine on an adult trike bicycle. Then he mounted a small aircraft propeller on the engine. He put a steel wire cage around the prop from an industrial fan for a guard. That thing would move. Not sure how fast it would go, and I doubt he new either. He did say he had to back off the throttle as it got quite sketchy and squirrely before he ran out of throttle.
This guy also built a hemi powered motorcycle. He also built a twin hemi powered car that would be at some of the shows in the area. Some one once asked him how much it cost. He said he had all the receipts, but was afraid to add it all up.
