We've never been hit this bad in this area.
Checking on neighbors and chasing livestock.....
Checking on neighbors and chasing livestock.....
Some screen shots from local news:
Night tornado only visible during lightning:
Crossing I-75 in North Dayton:
Here's where it crossed, my son-in-law just built that blue & white building
The last thing we saw as we ran to the basement:
Old HARA Arena, a lot of hockey and a WHO concert there long ago:
Still no deaths, thank God....

I’ll put this back on a happy track for a moment. My sons first fish, 13” and going up on his wall!
Nice.
These came into our local pond about 10 years ago.
I call it a Calico Bass.
What is its actual type?

Thank you.
Not really endemic to my area.
Only remember hearing about Crappy when watching Bill Dance Outdoors.
Man I was wild about fishing at one point in my life.
Remember saving hard to buy a Fenwick HMG baitcast rod and a super new technology Daiwa "Mag Force" bait cast real.
Think the rod was $120 and the reel was about $130.
Crazy money for a 7th grader circa 1982 or so.
Baitcasting was not popular in the Northeast but I wanted to be like Bill Dance, and those fishing show guys.
For a month the sound of a UPS truck had me running to the window thinking my mailed in order to Bass Pro was being delivered.
Still have the combo and love using it when I do get the kids out.
Kids dont know what their missing living in this fast paced world where shit ends up at your door next day.
Things lose a lot of value when you dont have to suffer for it in some way.
Agreed. I remember the days of studying the Cabela's catalog more intently than my schoolwork. I would save up my Christmas and birthday money for hunting and fishing gear. Without internet or credit cards, I'd carefully fill out the mail order form, send it in and wait FOREVER for my order to be delivered. I've still got one or two of the fishing rigs from back then, but work and family commitments keep me from fishing as much as I used to.
And another from later that day. He needed to help with the rest of them too.
I assume that was from this last weekend, not today?
That’s something I really miss about being out on the road. I used to fish all the time! Sadly only taken the boys a couple times ever
Sunday morning. They were slow but we got a couple meals worth.
Probably a graduate....
Looks like quality work.
I like the realism of how gravity has it bending slightly to the right.
Kind of tells the story of a tired penis after some serious work. It speaks to the viewer.
He has done well with the pubes also most people forget or completely screw that detail, think this....
Caravaggio would approve.
Id keep that on the glass as long as possible.
Doc made his rounds this morning. No pigs in traps. 5 black snakes who were all camera shy, wouldn't pose for pics.
However, there were a couple of chameleons caught in the act. Female was asking, "can u get this big sob off my back ?".......

Never good when the mechanics truck breaks down. Blew a hydraulic line on my crane today.
No real view, but great news!
Some of you know I am locked into working from home due to knee surgery.
I got a call from my boss on Friday, and an e-mail with a promotion letter! Nice raise, even though I already got a merit raise this year. I have been at this company for almost 6 years, and this is my second promotion. I'm now at the highest "professional" level that the company has, same level as our top engineer, and the first one ever at this level in my department.
Feels pretty good to know that they created a new level just to promote me, and a nice way to spend the next few years before I retire.
Not bad for a dumb ole country boy from Alabama.

Excellent sir!
I am surrounded by a lot of people with a lot of education. Most with 8 yrs of college between pre-med and med, 5 years of surgical residence, and a fellowship for 2 yrs for critical care surgical specialty. Good if yer sick or shot.
And I can tell you I would rather hang around with country folks from just about anywhere in the USA that a bunch of uptight peckerheads.
Try watching a Dr change a tire or a wiper blade.......????

Agreed, based on my observations from working with multiple PhDs over the years, common sense is often inversely proportional to education level.
The difference between intelligence and education is that intelligence will make you a good living. Stolen phrase from years ago,
With a fair amount of tornadoes bumping around the area this evening, ol’ Hooterville (Morley) made the news this evening. First time that I can recall. Out here in flyover country, you have to be taking a proper ass kicken’ to get an honorable mention from a news station ?. We’re used to it. No damage, just torrential rain that we don’t need in the least.
Today, I had a visitor outside the fence.. damhefa......
Damhefa, u b just a little close in my space, u mind getting back on your side of the fence....
She survived a tornado in the pasture 3 March, and has refused to stay in the fence since.... not exactly the sight u want to see as you come around the corner.. a bit skittish...

Engineers. A few years back the CEO of Toyota was asked about the factory of the future. He said the production line would only have a single engineer and a dog. When asked he explained the engineer was there to feed the dog and the dog was there to keep the engineer away from the production line.
I have worked with a few (very few) good engineers, real old school still hanging around long after retirement age. They all said their real education was fresh out of school working for a real old timer and being a gopher not allowed to touch anything for a couple of years. That said we did have one engineer who was book smart as hell but not one lick of sense. He nearly killed a couple of people one time fucking with danger tagged equipment for no good reason. He was transferred for his own safety, bad things would likely have happened to him otherwise.

I work for a pipeline company, not a manufacturer. Our engineers are really sharp. A few of them actually have personalities!
I too work for a pipeline company but my factory is the only one of it's kind in Australia, only six people and I am the only engineer....
By the way he was jokingRust, I was there at the meeting in Kentucky when Mr. Toyoda said it!
Boy you talk about being blessed, we had thirteen tornados Memorial Day night and three of them passed very close, one up the West side of us, one just South of us, and one F3 within a quarter mile to the North and we had no damage. This place has survived a hundred and seventy nine years, we're the little red dot above the D in Dayton. Others in the community were not so fortunate.
Please remember them in your prayers.

I have worked with many PhD chemists and chemical engineers through the course of my career. About 10 to 20% were awful technically and I had to wonder how they actually got their degree. The rest were either good to excellent technically but 70 to 80% were shitty human beings. Advanced degrees, from my experience, brings out the hubris and narcissism in people of marginal character.

Last day on the 11th floor of The Four Seasons. We are going to hit the natural and history museum on our way out of town. I’m dying to know if @Dirty D is a direct link to cro magnons. ???
Photos to follow...

I went to college in Lima I am very thankful that none of my Ohio family was harmed in the storms.
I just inhaled some delicious (not the best, but delicious) fried chicken, mashed with gravy, and carrots before realizing I had betadine all over my scrub shirt.
Busy late morning for my kinda folks.
Now for all the paperwork........

I’ll wash the truck tomorrow when I get home. No time to do that when I’m on the road

This was mother's day weekend camping with my wife in Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. Camping in disturbed areas less than 50 ft from road. 9 miles back from the nearest paved road. Didn't do anything shooting related but tons of fun.
Hiked and swam lower calf creek falls. Cold!
Taken from the hills in back ground of previous post.
Zoomed in from same spot. That is our campsite.
Haha. I’d say we’ll done if it was 20,20 & 20.
Twice that you’re just a braggadocio and over achiever! ?
