I got spooled, wrapped up, and broke off by something that ate a bluegill the size of my hand for bait.

Huge catfish or gar maybe? What # test?

Not my heaviest pole, 12 or 15 pound big game. But around 275 yards of it.

Flathead Catfish are notorious for that. The guys in my area use deep sea fishing rods for them. Bait of choice for them is bluegill the size of dinner plates. The state record here is 69.3 and was caught in June 2019. I had my fair share of break offs this weekend in salt water. Mostly hard heads and stingrays. Did manage to catch some edible fish and shrimp to put in an empty freezer. It was the first time in the water since the hurricane. Most of the boat ramps were closed for repair.

While on my loud mower towing a noisy metal trailer through a trail in my woods a big red tailed hawk landed in a low branch just 30ft from me! They usually fly away when I'm over 100ds from them so that really shocked me. I have two trail cam vids of it catching critters in that same spot but I'm just amazed despite all the noise that it landed right by me watching me for around 10 seconds before it decided to fly off when I cut the engine off to sit and watch the bold bird while doing a peaceful robin bird call to it.

Got sick with something last night. Not a single minute of sleep, constantly running from bed to bathroom to go up chuck or pee out the butt... went to work this morning and ended up going home after an hour of the same routine. Feeling better now but it still hasnt stopped.

I shot a skunk on my property. It sprayed a little so that's not fun.

Learned alot from reading this thread

re wasp etc.
Had a frustrating afternoon, when my brake parts came for a 2000 F 150, seems they decided it had 4wd instead of 2

Tempted to get the right parts off of Amazon, and wait till Monday to put things back together. They did get the brake hoses right, but the rotors and calipers are way off

Does Not help the parts person, that Ford changes their mind on how to build something every other month, but I had no issues finding the right parts online

James, I ran into the same problem with my brakes for a Dodge Dakota 4x4 with tow package. Vin Number will save you a lot of headaches, door numbers, cab size, bed size, engine size, automatic or standard, and drive 4x2 or 4x4. Having the right parts person that knows what they are doing helps. Youtube has been a blessing for me lately for repairs. Tired of being ripped off or having to repair the repair after taking it to a repair shop.

I need to do pads rotors calipers and probably brackets on my 99 s10. I am finding that there are a few different options for it mostly 2wd and 4wd.

I drove some today, dropped some boosters and caps in a hole then did some shoveling, pushed the go button and made a mess of things. I love my job. Drove some more, Visited my dads grave with my brother. Flipped a coin droves to the county fair ate some ribs then drove the last little bit now Im home sippin on some beer.

Watched Randolph Scott on Grit TV...
My Dad always wanted a "buckskin palamino" horse..
Now, lately, I have leaned why. He grew up in the dime movies where Randolph Scott ruled the screen.
Stardust was a beauty.

I own a Dodge and and an s-10, the Ford is a work related issue, or I would like to see if 10# of Tanerite would be enough to "fix" it

Thanks for the tips
Kris

I did send the vin with the runner guess it did not help muvh LOL just one of them days

10 pounds wont help all that much 40-60 pounds will be better, I know from prior experience. In Afghanistan that is what they used to disable our trucks. Now 400-600 pounds wow that leaves a big hole in the ground lift the rear of a 67k lb truck 4 feet in the air and chuck a set of dulles 400~m away.

Heck no..I tortured that SOB, cut all his limbs off, and chopped him up. Then threw his pieces over the bank. To set a example for the next one.
