“small swivel with a spinner”

That was a Hildebrandt spinner.
I did a lot of fly fishing with popping bugs for bream in high school (60’s).
If bream wouldn’t hit on top,I learned to use a Hildebrandt spinner with a black gnat,fished subsurface like trout fishermen used streamers.Would often catch a lot of bream that way.

They worked good on Rainbow trout with a spinning rod on White River when I lived in Arkansas.

We built a pond and stocked it a couple years ago ,have some really nice bream now,I dug out my fly rod I haven’t used in 40 years and getting back into flyfishing for bream,
Can’t find any Hildebrandt inline spinners anywhere,luckily I found a few from my trout fishing days.

Hildebrandt made the Snagless Sally which was pretty popular for bass many years ago.They are still being sold plus spinner baits.Just no inline spinners that you can add you’re own lure.

The inline spinners came in all sizes from very small to pretty large.I knew an old guy many years ago that bass fished a lot,he used a large inline spinner with a yellow banana head hair jig with a pork frog.It would be about 6 inches long altogether,he caught a lot of bass.

I was in the Navy 4 years,was a 23,almost 24 y o freshman.
If I had started right out of high school I would have flunked out for sure.

“I think people should be able to fix their own equipment”

A cattleman neighbor had a rat chew a wire on his JD tractor.He fixed it by splicing a scrap of wire he had in his shop.
It threw a code and locked up the computer.Had to get a tech from JD to come and reset the computer—-$700.
He was pissed,last tractor he bought was a Kubota.

Does anyone know anyone who buys these raffle tickets and won a prize?

Just found out about it today.Tickets are $100,bought 1 for the raffle in Shreveport and going to buy 1 for the one in Lake Charles when tickets go on sale.

I’ve given a good bit to St.Judes in the past,few years ago I switched my major donations to Shriner’s Hospitals.
Seems like a good way to support St Judes,I don’t buy Powerball or MegaMillions tickets so why not.

“Still some redbones here”

I used to work with a nurse from down that way.I kinda suspected she was ( her hair and coloration).I took care of her grandmother once,she definitely looked to have a good bit of Indian(feather)ancestory.

One day she told me she was a redbone and laughed.

She was absolutely gorgeous.

“I know I’m chunky. So what ?”

Pics, get the expert opinion of the O T baws.

And to think I seriously considered being a cop after I got out of high school.Glad I didn’t go down that road.

My wife is tight as hell which I liked.She didn’t want an engagement ring,thought it was a waste of money.
Been married 45 years and are in very good shape financially.She’s loosened up the last couple years but is still pretty frugal,does her own nails,only go to restaraunts for special occasions,etc.She’s a good cook so we mostly eat at home.

“Stop being a moron”

I’ll pass it on to the wife,surprised she didn’t realize she could do it online.
But if the state has an official form to fill out and mail in with a check for payment I would think they could enter it into their computer without screwing it up.After all Gen X’ers and Millennials are supposed so tech savvy.
I’m 75 and she’s 73,we do alright esp. her.

Thanks for the info.
P.S.-Frick you.

We have 2 Toyota Hybrids,a Prius and a Highlander.Louisiana started charging $60 a year for hybrids because they feel we don’t pay our fair share of gas taxes.
I don’t have a big problem with it,I can see their point.
What I have a problem with is their incompetence and the bullshite we have to go through to pay it.
Every year it’s the same crap,we send in the form and a check for the fee.
After a few weeks we get a letter claiming we didn’t pay it with demand letter charging a late fee on top of the $60 per vehicle.
I don’t know hw many hours wife spent last year getting it straight,had to send in a copy of the cancelled check and hours on the phone.

This year same crap,she has spent 6 hours on the phone last 2 days and still doesn’t have it straight.Woman today says she will look into it and call back tomorrow.

It’s infuriating,wife doesn’t let me call because I get irrationally angry when dealing with incompetent govt.employees and say things I shouldn’t(according to the wife).
Just pisses me off that my tax dollars are paying salaries of these nitwits.

Rant over.
