Got Rain????

This was from one downpour today, it rained hard for about 20 mins. I don't think I have to say anything else.


  I was on the computer and remembered I parked on the street to get the truck out today. The muffler was completely underwater but the inside was still dry when I moved it. It did start up with no hesitation or problems.

Monster shrooms

On Thursday I went back down to Mississinewa where I found the first batch of shrooms. I had some trouble finding more but then they just started to appear.
   
Then I found this monster, it's the largest of my career.

 Well they were getting close to done (kinda dried up) so I decided to try further North (for some fresher shrooms). Bad idea, I looked for a couple hours but couldn't find another shroom on any of the other 2 properties I tried. Well if I go next week I'll stay closer to home and try for some.

2011 Turkey season

 After weeks of waiting turkey season finally arrived and it went a little something like this:
                     Approx.-2 min
 Well as you can see my Mississenewa hunt didn't go well at all. Since I had such a bad hunt this year I will not ever put in for a draw down there again.


I did get a couple no show draws at Mongo and my mood was lifted dramatically.  My hunts there went a little something like this:
                   Approx.- 6 min
 
Well that was last week, and since it was turkey season, and the weather has been sooo wet. I let my yard work kinda pile up, so I have worked my butt off to get caught up. I got all my yards mowed and even trimmed some bushes, and yanked some others.

 The last couple of weeks the weather has been cold and rainy. Then yesterday summer showed up, at a sweltering 89 degrees.
Needless to say I still made it out for my first day on the boat. It's a huge relief to be able to get the outboard to fire up and push the boat across the lake on the first outing.
I went to Max. and caught a couple smallies off the beds. Then moved to Winona and caught a largemouth from under a dock.
