Same here, feels like 60’s already, sunshine and no wind!! We’re heading out to the property with the Pioneer for a ride and a picnic...Beautiful day today at 56*F or 14*C. Sun’s shining and the bird’s are chirping. Time for some yard cleanup. Tomorrow’s supposed to be better.
Couldn’t ask for better. Enjoy the ride, man.Same here, feels like 60’s already, sunshine and no wind!! We’re heading out to the property with the Pioneer for a ride and a picnic...
Up here, that’s called a grader.

I know the conversion from working with the two. Plus, being a border state, I’ll hear it now and then.Huh. You know C . Haha. I grew up with F and still cross back and forth.

We have two grass carp in our pond. They look prehistoric but have outgrown the catfish by 2 or 3 pounds. They have plenty to eat and if they get hungry you will sometimes see them eating the floating catfish food.Haha, a catfish isn’t a carp , and a carp isn’t a catfish. Like up here when some restaurants tried to pass off cheep fish as Halibut. Can’t do that anymore.
In Miss they catch with a rod, at night, then put a snare around their head, before they can shoot them. Big difference from Louisiana. Was cool to see.
It’s crazy to see the carp jumping right in the boat. It’s too bad someone couldn’t figure a way to eat them that they taste good. As bad as friggen rats.

Cool. My friend in Alberta has a trout pond. His trout get huge, probably 6 lb. But there is a carp in the pond too. He’s about two feet and black. When you throw the food in, the trout go nuts. Very relaxing. It was so cold last year, the pond froze. He has a windmill to keep the water open, but didn’t matter. The trout died but the carp is still going. Of course.
He’s getting more this year.
Yea noodling is very popular down here, it's not for me though,not sure what you might get sticking your hands/arms under water. Catfish is very popular down here. They have acres and acres of ponds that they grow them in. People will buy 1 tractor and an aerator/PTO driven, for four ponds so that they can move from pond to pond and not have to buy an aerator per pond. From 77 to 87 I worked on Detroit Diesels and Allison transmissions. We had a customer who had Steiger Tractors with 903 Cummins/V-8 turbo/and Allison powershift transmissions. They were a lot bigger than the 4wd John Deere's at the time,their farm could build a catfish pond a day. They had 2 Steigers each pulling two belly scrapers and they would scrape in a circle then dump up on the pond dam. They had one dozer that would spread the dirt and shape the dam. The ponds are not real deep and were very interesting to watch being built. Pulling the trans out of the Steigers was a different story. You had to start by pulling the cab off.Cool.

Cool. But yeah I don’t know if I could stick my hand in a hole that could hold a snapping turtle.
Lol, he was bs-ing you. Like we do with the new kid that wants to be a carpenter when we send him after the wood stretcher for that board that was cut too short....
Boy they sure are an odd looking fish.
Or a water moccasinCool. But yeah I don’t know if I could stick my hand in a hole that could hold a snapping turtle.
Ouch. Very cool though.

Pity that, after having 2 or 3 of them burn up on my Oklahoma ranch I went back to galvanized. But short of fire, I think they’ll out last galvanized and man are they easier to handle.
Two points of view.Lol, he was bs-ing you. Like we do with the new kid that wants to be a carpenter when we send him after the wood stretcher for that board that was cut too short....
Your right on that. You can throw them yourself.Pity that, after having 2 or 3 of them burn up on my Oklahoma ranch I went back to galvanized. But short of fire, I think they’ll out last galvanized and man are they easier to handle.
Most people concrete the ends for fire and county brush hogs! HA!Two points of view.

Monte. I know you don’t have tv. But I watched a movie on Netflix tonight. A Walk in The Woods. Robert Redford and Nick Noltie. They walk the Appalachian trail starting in Georgia. It’s a really funny movie.Pity that, after having 2 or 3 of them burn up on my Oklahoma ranch I went back to galvanized.
