Would that take more or less than 7.5lbs of old bay?

I hope those male sturgeon are riding ATVs and juggling chainsaws to cause that delta in longevity
Highlighted portion says “The research suggests female lake sturgeon may reach 427 years old, while males live up to 279 years.”

I discovered this in a deep corner of my basement and I’m really ready for the next waste event to deal with it.
A can of DDT. Ready to kill bugs and bioaccumulate in higher trophic animals that will slowly prevent them from reproducing.

You sure about that?
The truncated thread that starts with a drowned squirrel and ends with “we need the recipe” I think the recipe is 20 gallons of rainwater, 2 cups assorted leaves, and a regular sized squirrel and let marinate for 30 days.

I expect you to dunk-quote this giant trout I caught.
A little 3” trout with its parr marks that has tried to eat a caddis fly that barely fits in its mouth, and full of regret in its eyes.

Reminds me of my boy Dashiell, who was a feral kitten who lost his bonded brother and needed another cat to socialize him. He went from afraid of everything to demanding belly rubs.
A grey cat exposes his belly to the world in order to get the attention to fill his emotional battery.

Smallies are my favorite game fish on a fly

Cat pics you say?
A cats face looking out wondering when breakfast will be ready. It clearly should have been ready much earlier. Like when she woke up at 4:30 AM

You almost have to hand it to Trump on this one www.jstor.org/stable/24416...
Abstract
Sources of the sixteenth century show a very high level of daily violence in the streets of Rome. The Romans almost always solved their conflicts with violence instead of appealing to the courts. They obstinately refused to cooperate with the papal authorities and they even were ready to leave the city for a while when individual popes tried to force other forms of conduct on them. Those Romans who were willing to cooperate with the authorities as well as members of the police force became the victims of a sharp social ostracism. In this climate of violence, arms were seen by the population as a means of individual survival, but by the authorities as one of the causes of violence.

I really feel this vanity license plate could have been epic with just one minor letter swap.
A ford f150 pickup with a license plate that says ELE TRK, it would have been better with an Eel Truck license plate.

I was at a hotel in Langkawi Malaysia that had these tigers on every balcony to keep the monkeys away. The staff moved them every day. Scared the pants off of me one night coming back late at night.

First fish of 2026. Also I didn’t lose any flies this trip. It’s going to be hard to beat this trout for the rest of the year. I may have to quit now while I’m ahead. Also I’m gonna need a bigger net. #flyfishing.

My favorite current bass and general streamer pattern is a gamechanger crayfish. Might be too big for panfish but still killer for other fish that like crunchy protein snacks.
Two olive crayfish flies with rabbit fur claws, and articulated bodies of olive and sparkly chenille. Lightly weighted at the tails so when they’re at the pause the drop tail first with claws up like a real live crayfish.

This guy loved broccoli and we kept a bag of frozen broccoli and would defrost him a bowl at least once a week. It was always a highlight of his week.
A grey cat looking up quizzically as one tries to explain that kohlrabi, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and broccoli are all from the same species yet all expressed different traits because of selective breeding for those traits. 

He still just wants his broccoli treats.

Excel is far more diabolical when it comes to date formatting.
A Venn diagram with the circles each saying Incel and Excel. The union of the two sets is “incorrectly assuming something is a date”

He clearly did not have a bell with him in the bathroom.

Maybe it’s the box with the cat on top to that is labeled technology but we all know just full of obsolete cables.
A gray cat lounging on top of a navy blue box with a printed label that says “technology” there is quite a bit of hair shed all over the box and it’s obvious that it is not regularly removed.
