I get email bulletins from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. ODF&W
They are going to quit posting their stocking schedule because it may cause crowds at the newly stocked lakes.
They are going to continue stocking.
What the hell? Do they think people will be fishing shoulder to shoulder?
On second thought, maybe some would..dale

At one small lake here locally, the parking lot was full to overflowing the other day. 20 plus vehicles and most of them all crowded around the parking lot end of lake with poles extended. Not my kind of fishing .

Our Fish Commission mixes it up but there are usually 25 percent trophy trout put in to our streams and lakes ( that have the proper habitat)
I'm talking 28 to 30 inchers They will do this before the trout season and then twice after the season starts! I have been fishing the 2nd week of trount hen the stocing truck arrived and dropped monsters in right next to me .....think iI could get one?

In a lot of California waters, trout stocking has become The Trophy Striper Feeding Supplement. Silverwood Lake near our house is a case in point. The trout truck backs up at the launch ramp--extends the trout spout--and out come the fish, 3- to 5-per pound "catchable" diploid rainbow trout. Within a few minutes, stripers have the trout formed into bait balls, and BIG stripers are "boiling" on the stockers. The smart money is on treating these stripers just like yellowtail in the ocean working bait-balled 'chovies or 'dines--cast a faux rubber trout right at the edges of the bait-ball and HANG ON. WAY FUN! I catch & release stripers caught this way. They aren't real smart, but they fight hard--and a 12# striper puts a bend in a surf rod you won't soon forget.

Well, stayed up a bit after work today. We got the transmission done in the 250. And the last of the coolant leaks fixed today.

Now just to find an unmolested 90- 93 f250 or full size Bronco with a 351 Windsor too look at. So I can figure out how some of the plumbing the previous owner goober-ed up, or lost, goes.

Most of the u tube videos on these are from 4x4 off-roaders and the vehicles are highly modified.
It seams on the videos that the piping is in place the hose"s" I am trying to trace is just out of their shot, and away from what they are doing.
A piece at a time, it it coming together. Just got to be patient.

Ar does the same with catfish and the really big fish have a ball.
She baked the apple pie, said we might have to have some before dinner as nobody to share it with. That is a problem?

it'll ruin your dinner... LOL.

I have a 302 in the 89 but it should be the same up to 95.
unfortunately pretty much everything unnecessary sort of fell off when I pulled the motor, and never made it back in place when the new one went in.

Health update. I was worried about how the c19 was going to affect the flow of medical treatment and now I know more. San Antonio's mayor shut down everything Tuesday and my 3 April appointment with the super-specialist that my wife fought so hard to get me last week got pushed to 29 May. They then called ME (afer calling my wife and her texting the news) to inform me of the change and I hit the roof because we've been trying to get in for a solid month. I got so mad I had to hang up....I was THE NEXT PATIENT IN LINE. Been having a lot of problems and told them I can't wait two months to be seen. They called back about ten minutes later to get me in tomorrow morning, thank gawd. I guess getting ugly does sometimes work. I don't think the mayor intended to let people die by closing drs offices to FTF visits. Gonna cost me 300 bucks at 25% discount, but if you want the best you gotta pay for it.

Good to read this, Ian. I have found that a lot of these call-offs may be little more than "litmus tests" to sort the motivated patients from the less-motivated types. I save my THROW DOWN MODE for the important things.

Yes, throw-down mode was it. I hate to seem like I'm entitled but this is getting serious. If not this specialist I will need to find another somewhere that isn't locked down, and FAST.

Hopefully tomorrow he can give me a firm idea of what the surgery might involve, what nerve started it, surgery schedules, and insurance details. He doesn't take my insurance and my work insurance is a PPO so he has to be in network for that avenue to be open.

Did some casting, 200 Ideal single-cavity 452374, and 270 Lee six-cavity 358-158 RNFN.

The Lee's bullet count is fast approaching 10,000 and I think it may be a wee bit warped, because the bullet from the furthest hole from the handles will occasionally fin. Either that or the sprue cutter's stop notch has been set back and it causes the far end of the mould to open slightly.
I have an extra sprue cutter, to compare notch sizes, but it'll be a tomorrow project.

Hang in Ian. Insane times. Sometimes you just have to be an a$$hole and mean! Best of luck!

hand primed ~600 45 ACP tonight. Need to get them stuffed and then turn to 223, then to Garand ammo. Essentials....

Us too. Did go out to snag groceries, a little LOT picked over but got what was needed. Getting out helped a little with the shack-whacky feelings I get after too much time spent indoors.
