Sorry about that! Didn't see the instructions about posting too the Calendar of events when I posted this! I'm actually excited about this one as it's only about an hour away from me 👍

Yeah, same here. I'm pretty sure I can cast but my left shoulder and chest area still is experiencing occasional numbness. Kinda tough when I can't feel my muscles there! I actually hurt my shoulder after a couple weeks at home trying to open a window. Yanked it up without thinking and pulled the heck out of it. Can't tell if my muscles were relaxed or at the ready when the area is numb! (That's what I get for not thinking before acting!) I'm just afraid that I my upper body couldn't hold up too a potentially long battle with a sizable fish. Takes the fun out of it for me because I want to do the work, not hand my rig over to someone else! Think I will stick to trout and panfish when I do go. The river Float closes at the end of October so hopefully this numbness subsides by then. It's been almost 3 months (April 26th) since the surgery! That itch too fish needs scratched!

I've got a couple just like this and always thought they were Jabo. Mine are about 0.60...we'll see with other opinions

But I will say, I don't think that the pink "rocks it" like the white 🎸

Yep, I've got some...I've also got these two little "tumblers" that are a pinkish color, and with better lighting than I currently have, are also opalescent.

Nice and mild now, mid to upper 70's and tolerable humidity and dew points! BUT, by the time Monday rolls around, their saying the above "Big 3" are going up again...

The IUCN recently updated their list of endangered species and 100% of all 26 remaining species of Sturgeon are in danger of being extinct. That's up from 85% in 2009. I remember last year people were actually keeping Sand and Shovelnose Sturgeon, while the Lake Sturgeon and others were always "resuscitated" and placed back into the river. I haven't been fishing on the river yet this year, but I bet they are ALL getting put back now....

2nd one I could go with Akro, I have some similar (love the "earth" tones), but I kinda want to sneak Vitro in there?

Could be Jackson, Alox, something along those lines possibly?

Gotta love Vitro's 😊 The last one is almost like a clear based helmet that I didn't know was in the mix...

I'll join the Akroware glass parade 😊

Super Nice Dave!!

Dozens of varieties...I'm sure most collectors can say the same thing! Man, I bet I haven't scored a good bunch of Pelts since last year in the wild!

I'm thinking I've got literally dozens of lvarieties of Rainbos. One thing I have never had time to do since I started collecting was separate all my variations. Just have them in jars, except for the known "good ones". Maybe I'll get around to that chore here soon 😊

Nice lineup, Tommy 👍

Hey there! The neck and throat are feeling and looking tons better! Nothing but good reports from last weeks visit. Still packing on the pounds! I'm up to a weight that I haven't touched for years! Taste buds are still funky but I'm actually starting to get a little bit of it back. Sore throat is gone. Plus I have been taking absolutely nothing through my G-tube the past 2 weeks or so. Based on this, they might possibly pull it out when I go back for a check up on August 8th! All that's going through the tube is a little water for flushing purposes anyway (I do this daily so it doesn't get clogged, especially on the inside) That awful rash the juggernaut headpiece gave me is almost gone. Thanks to the sticky conditions went through weather wise, it took a little longer. Looking ahead too that PET scan, which I think will occur sometime at the end of August. Maybe September. I don't see the surgical team for a follow up "inspection" until mid September, just a radiology visit every couple weeks until then. Check it out! Super improvement! 👍

Speaking about that high chance for Jabo, came across a handful of them yesterday in at the Depot (a second hand store in the area)....Cotton Candy and 2 other varieties I have to look up yet. Wish this type of forecast was as wrong as the real ones more often than not are...

My whole little town is surrounded by corn! Gets like a sauna when conditions are right. Not missing that 100% humidity and 70+ dew point stuff for sure!

Nice, Tommy....I still haven't made use of my fishing license yet this year, I think I'm good enough to go now. Nice pics 👍

Go, Baby, Go!!!!

What's the current forecast for ya for say the next few days...

Imperial, possibly, but something wants me to go with Master...

That's all I ever use is my phone and for the most part, they come out decent. Maybe one day I'll splurge a bit on a different "set up", but for now, I'm happy 😊
