Hey partner..I never implied you made fun of the poor..that's the problem with tying replies..one can be easily misunderstood..be it known partner..you are one of my favorite people on here. And always will be...

89.00 is a great price..you did good..

We were ok growing up but I was raised by a very strict step dad..In the 1960s it was highly promoted not to be a litter bug..lol I still won't throw trash on the ground..I used to Smoke like a fine..and would put the butts in my pocket..Last month at a picnic I sat by the cook cooking the ribs,,they all chuckled as I put the bones in my shirt pocket...After that picnic is when I realized I needed to seriously go on a diet...lol

I can agree with being misunderstood on here.. that stuff happens with the internet.. It is just one of those things.. Thanks for the kind words.. I too concider you to be one of the better people on here as well..

I enjoy trying to learn that darn baitcaster as well as largemouth fishing. I still have a lot to learn about them. Then I will need to learn how to put it to use on our waters up here. For the most part our waters are different with rock piles every where and most of those have the smallmouths around them. For the most part (not always though) the smallmouths and largemouths are in different environments. So it makes it harder for me to find those largemouths.

My diet plan came on without notice roughly a year ago. Diabetes and I lost quite a bit of wieght at that time. Today I am still loosing roughly 2 or 3 pounds every 2 to 3 months but that is ok with me. I went from a 12.9 ACL to a 4.5 ACL on my 3 month average. The doc stated a 4.4 is ideal so I am doing pretty darn good with it. I am planning on keeping it that and hope I can. I actually would simply like to see it just go away but, I do not think that will happen.

Congrats on the diet Phil ....for some of us that is a huge feat...I just royally messed up on our meal . I enjoys Walmart's Chuck Eye steaks..my wife bought 2 chuck roast..I said.."Hey, let's cut up one of those chuck roast into chuck eye steaks"..big mistake. They are not the same thing..tough as leather..Dang! And now my calories are about up for today..

Well, live and learn.

Yeah, a chuck steak and a chuckeye is to different types of steak that is for sure. A chuck steak cooked fast on high heat will help keep it from being quite so tough. We will cook them mostly in a crock pot with cream of mushroom soup, potatoes, carrots and some onions. We call it a shipwreck steaw.. We just cut the steak up into 3 or 4 pieces and put it in the bottom of the crock pot. If it is fairly cool out we will put it in a roaster in the oven instead. The crock pot is great though as you can put it in and go about your business and at the end of the day it will be all done.

I learned from a man who recently came down to visit from GA ..I was very impressed...

A. He put's McCormick Steak seasoning all over the ribs or steak..Put's them in a bag over night.

B. Heats up the charcoal grill..goals are good and gray.

C. Puts either cut up ribs or chuck eyes on grill..

D.KEEP WATER NEAR TO SMOLDER OUT SMALL FLARE UPS.

E.Between 15-20 minutes eat either the best ribs or steaks ever. Our Chuck eyes are very tender and very tasty.

Serve with favorite beverage and sides { -;

Yeah, those chuck roasts are good but they make some tough steaks unless cooked right. Same thing with those london broils. The ribs and chuck eyes (we call eye rounds) are different . I am going to give you another mouth watering recipe.. I got this while in Arkansas a couple of years ago.
You take some Montreal Seasoning, some Soy sauce, and some Worcestershire sauce. Put just enough soy and worcestershire sauce to cover your steaks about 50/50 and add the Montreal Seasoning. Marinate them in a bag or whatever for 12 to 24 hours and cook them on the grill. They are great as well..

There are some places around here who can fix props even as bad as yours. They braise on pieces and form to the original curve and cup and then paint it and it looks and runs like a new one. When I bugger up a prop and get it fixed I use it as a spare for when it happens again. I think it costs about 50-75 for the repair but it does give a spare prop.

Pretty much the same thing here as well. He fixes them for 50 or in that ball park and they look great when he gets done. When he retired from work some of the guys piched in and made him up a set of scales to balance the props with. I have not heard of anyone complaining about his work. I will be taking it up to him when the holiday week is over..
