In other news, my almost 5yo daughter caught a 2-lb, 16" largemouth bass over the weekend.
I bet a face full of googly eyes would disrupt face detecting AI alright.
Nice work, how?d she catch it_ I am bad at fishing.Quote:

She (I) cast out a 3.5" crawbug on a Texas rig (with the weight unpegged). She's super impatient with letting it sit, so she'd keep reeling it in, let it sit for 1/4-second, then reel.
I think she was more shocked than the fish was!
XS Max. What I don't have is the googly eyes.Quote:

Pic?
Yup, exactly that. Just when I've been bored too with no bites and decided to quickly reel in to pack it up, I get bites, which then convinces me to stay longer... it's a vicious cycle!
She did the reeling, I held the rod as she was about to lose it to the water lol. What's best, it was her FIRST time going out fishing. She hasn't stopped talking about it, so I think, like the pun, that she's hooked!

That's funny shit.
My favorite part of the motel in Cheyenne Wells is the huge beetles in every room.
A tornado came through town last week and most of the windows are broken out as well.
Beetle pic?
Common(?) black beetle. I don't have pics to upload out in the middle of nowhere, plus I haven't taken any because I've been throwing them out.
No pics. Got it.
Goodnight folks
Found some more, pics coming.
Uncooperative beetle wouldn't hold still.

Oh mysterious, wise, and Great Kazoo: Why can't I sell my stuff? I've been out of firearms world for a few years, but I didn't think my items (Larue LT129 and LE Wilson Case Trimmer) were priced too high. Are they?Quote:

Bummer! Should have sold it years ago then!Quote:

Mornin' folks.
That's the extremely poisonous Grim Reaper Beetle.Quote:

I used to watch feral cats catch and eat bugs at night under parking lot lamps. It's protein.

One of our cats absolutely loves Miller moths.
Come to think of it, I don't remember a whole lot of Miller Moths being around this year.
Lucky this year, the swarm appears to have been caught in the late winter weather during their migration.
In a bad season we use a shop vac to suck the bastages in. We would kill 150+ a day between shop vac and wife's home made traps.
Big time drag.
It's not Miller TimeQuote:

Tornado came through town and damaged a bunch of stuff. Some people got hail, some got wind, some got both. In this case, the wind pulled this 1,250 gal water tank out of the truck and dropped it on the ground.

Your new skin is interesting, CN.
I've been thinking about a change as well.
Got the rear diff back late today and got it bolted in and started getting it back together. The front is supposed to come back tomorrow...more to do up there for sure.
Did pick up the powder coat stuff on the way home as well. Gonna be busy for a while....lol.
Anyone with psycho parents might appreciate having to deal with psychosis over the phone AND in charge of their finances as well. Good times there for sure.
