  1. Well I have been stuck watching basic networks like CBS NBC ABC etc etc Fox when I can get it on antenna. Before the virus I was on the verge of getting Fiber Optic TV and then I would never watched another local network ever again but they have not started back with the Fiber installations so stuck watching local junk. When I get Fiber my TV will have the History channel, TLC(the learning Channel) the National Geographic, Discovery channel will for the most part all I will be watching. I checked into satellite when I first moved here and all of them told me that no Satellites will work out here were I live. I thought satellite would work where they aimed the dish but this small area never has a satellite in view.....go figure!!!! I do have one bright spot in all of this and smart TV's I have been able to search out some upper ban channels and can watch all kinds of oldies and every night I get all 4 of Gene Roddenberry's Star Treks series and during the days they have Numbers, Nash Bridges, JAG, and Monk.
  2. Ok black is ground and red is hot. Add a fuse link in hot wire between the unit and the hot from TM just to be safe. Not necessary but I always lean on the side of caution.
  3. Your welcome!! I had a friend tell me how to do that 20+ years ago. My only question to you is do you have a 12 volt Trolling motor or a 24 volt. If you have a 24 volt just use the Black and Red wire and same on a 12 volt TM.
  4. If you have not ran the wires yet for your depth finder/GPS you can save your self a lot of trouble if you just use the hot and ground on your trolling motor wiring that is already up front. That is how I have been operating my GPS on my Skeeter for over 20 years with no issues. Just make sure you put a fuse link in the hot side of the wire between the unit and the hot wire to the TM and you should be good to go.
  5. Like I mentioned earlier. I got a 22 Phoenix in a gun and the guy wanted what I had to trade but was a few bucks short so he threw the Phoenix in the mix and I made the deal. I found most folks don't like them because they say the gun has to many safeties' with 3. I use one and leave the other two off. the guns are a little heavy but very accurate to shoot. I got Sam to fix the mags so they hold the action open on the last round. I like the weight cause there is almost zero recoil. I had a guy offer me $150.00 for it and I told him I would have to pass. I almost laughed at him but then I remembered he was offering me new gun price for a used gun as they sold for 159.00 new In most stores.
  6. you can bet they are being moved by people. Back several years ago I saw a big ski boat with ropes hooked to a channel marker and I went over to them and told them that if they move that marker I will call TWRA and report your boat numbers and tell them what you are doing. They cut the ropes and took off. I still called and reported the boat numbers to my buddy Hooper that is a game warden and he sent a boat out and the boat found the rope still attached to the channel marker. I don't know what ever came from it but I didn't see that boat again. All they do it for is meanness and wanted to hurt someone. I knew folks did it but most did it at night and these idiots were doing it in the late morning around 10AM.
  7. I don't know how many of you have been listening to the news but they have been talking about the channel Markers on the lake not being where they are suppose to be. Some of the main channel markers he moved out of the main channel and are in shallow water knee deep and they need to be put back on the deep water. I did see yesterday that the Corps had boats out there putting the markers back where they are suppose to be but they said it will take a couple more weeks to get all of them where they need to be. Just thought I would post this for folks that may be planning an outing on the 4th weekend on Priest Lake that if you don't know the lake well make sure you have your GPS on and are watching it so you don't tear up a lower unit of worse get hurt by running a ground. Just be careful if your going to Priest Lake. If it is not to far out of your way you may want to go to Old Hickory Lake as those channel markers are where they are suppose to be. My so in law was on Priest Lake 3 weeks ago and he told me that many of the markers were in the wrong place but he knows the lake well but he still had his GPS on and was running by it. Be safe!!
  8. I hope the Indian tribe does buy the company. It would be better than the company just closing down. I'm sure the Native American tribe will do a good job of keeping the company in operation. They have proven over the years that they are good smart business people. Also the Indian tribes operate under different laws in many cases such as tax exempt in many of their existing companies such as the Casinos they already operate. ....JMHO
  9. Any positive habit is better than what the alternative could be! I have heard several doctors say that the Virus can't survive long in direct sunlight yet look at all the people that have tested positive after a day at a hot sunny beach. So what does one believe?? I actually have not changed much except I just stay home. My Daughter and Son In law do all my shopping for me cause they are out everyday for work and they both wear masks and do the hand sanitizers routines before bringing my food in the house and I have also got Lysol and other spray sanitizers that I spray the counters with after I put my food up. The doctors have all agreed that the food packages are not likely to contain many if any viruses. After I get the food up I wash my hands with sanitizing soap and then follow it up with hand sanitizer lotion. I also live in the sticks about 25 miles from the nearest town and 50+ miles from the nearest big city which is Nashville. I do have times I would like to just go out for a drive in the evening but Jeep is broke down and won't be fixed for at least a week or longer. It's funny but I never use to watch golf on TV but recently I look forward to it coming on so I can watch it. I do have a good friend I email quit often and he replies back pretty regally and that helps also. I do hope everyone here stays safe and we all get through this un-harmed!!!
  10. Does anyone know the proper way to wear the face mask to protect yourself and others around you? I asked a doctor friend about all these people running around with their noses uncovered and the mask on only their mouth. He said that they might as well not be wearing one if they are not going to cover their noses as well as the mouth. That is why they test people by putting a swap up the nose because that is were they find the spores for the virus. I was going to look at buying a few masks till my son In law gave me 10 N95 masks which is my understanding are the best on the market. His company buys them by the pallet because his company does spray fire proofing of commercial buildings under construction and they are required to wear the N95 masks to perform their job. I just thought I would bring this up so people that are wearing the masks need to make sure your nose is covered along with your mouth!!
  11. I have no pity for all the protesters and rioters that catch it because they are the ones not following the guidelines of self distancing and many are not wearing masks. My only problem is the protests that have children in them!!!
  12. Oh I don't trust anything China says about anything. That is why I say we need to get some spies in there to see what the truth is either way. It is almost 99.9% proven that the Virus was created in a bio/lab and not coming from Wet meat markets in China as they have had these markets many years and it just now shows up. So I'm thinking since they knew how it was created they may have a medicine to treat it and not telling anyone. They can say they shut down neighborhoods but who is there to verify that to be truth?? In all reality China has been pretty tight lipped about everything since the virus was spread across the world. China knew they had a problem for 3 months before telling the world about it and they kept sending infected people all over the world for three months before countries stopped anyone from China entering their countries. Then they began making excuses about the delay and at one point actually tried to blame the United States Soccer team for bringing it into the company during a Soccer tournament but the timing was off and all the soccer team tested negative for it. When that lie didn't pan out they began coming up with more lies...…...
  13. Will it or won't it be here in winter depends on which doctor your listing to at that particular moment. I have heard it will and have heard that it won't. Have heard we will have a vaccine by end of summer and others say next year. In all honesty I don't think they know much more the what some and not all of the symptoms are and not a clue on how to actually treat it. I think they might want to find out what China knows about it because they have not only gone around the curve but over the hill and are having few to no new cases. From all indications 2 of those 3 emergency hospitals they panicked to build never even got used. I think we might need to get a few spies in over there and find out what they know that we don't. ……………...JMHO
  14. I had a buddy go by a distillery that had gone from making whisky to making hand sanitizer and they were giving it away and he got 4 quarts of the stuff and brought me 2 of them and my granddaughter works for a company that makes a product like spray Lysol and she got me 5 cans of it plus she got me 5 pump bottles of the sanitizing hand soap. I got two of the pocket size hand sanitizers I can carry when and if I ever go out again. I'm pretty much set here at the house. My son in law fixed me up with 10 N95 masks also if I decide to go out which since they are doing all my shopping for me when they do theirs I don't have to go out for anything at present. I go out and fill Hummingbird feeders and walk around the yard with Darby and she is great company and only slightly spoiled...…….
  15. I don't think BLM sees the color of a police officers skin!! They just see blue so that tells me they don't care if this cost black officers their jobs. They are stopping the men and women wearing blue and that is their goal!!!
  16. A big can of that powerful long stream Wasp spray kept in the console works good. That stuff is nasty mean!!!
  17. My reason for two fast shots center mass. Two hits two different spots. double the damage and I do have a back up mag when I am out and toting which has not been for last 3+ months. To old to temp fate and ask to get sick. If I get sick with it, it's going to have to come to me!
  18. Many times shooting center mass does not render some people helpless and that is why I would follow it up with a second round to make sure the person is not able to shoot me. Two rounds very quick will mean much less a possibility the bad guy will be able to fire back but still keep your eye on them till help arrives.....JMHO.
  19. Sam is the best dang gunsmith I have ever found and you will love his work and his prices...….JMHO
  20. I have a feeling most folks here are in that same shape....LOL
  21. Teflon tape like you use on pipe threads will work to stop leaks around threads if that is where your leak is around the threads of the jar to feeder. I have used it a couple times with good success.
  22. Well where I live now I feel I have enough ammo on hand to keep myself defended and between my son in laws stock pile and mine we are good to go. If things don't calm down pretty soon it may not wait for the elections. I just don't see the marches and riots getting this far out but when the bigger ones are going on I do make a few changes on house things. I have a camera system installed that was here when I moved here that SIL's company had installed when they were storing equipment in this house and it is hooked to my computer and I can see everything going on all around the outside of the house day or night.
  23. Well your luck sounds like mine on that lake. I know a lot of people go down there and have a great time. I'm just not one of them and it sounds like your trip was not all that great. Glad you got out away from things for a while. They say a bad day on the water is better than a great day at work. I think that is from people that just hate their jobs.....LOL. About the grass on lower units. I have had friends or known several people that burned up their lower units trying to push their boat through that grass so I never did get in the grass but just fished from the weed lines with motor in clear water.
  24. Well I guess I got it right cause I have 5 feeders and I made a gallon of Sugar water using 4 cups of sugar and boiling it just right. I still have that one very small hummer coming to the feeder he has laid claim to and as of now he has no competition and has all 5 feeders to himself but he has picked out one that is out of site of the other 4 and he seems to like the water cause he will come on the feeder and drink 10 or 15 times and then fly up in a tree across the yard every time. He is the smallest Hummer I have ever seen. I don't think head to tail he is over 1.5 inches long and grey with a red throat. I am hoping to get a few more soon. I will be changing out the fluid in a week in all of them. I have a gallon made and in the fridge!!
  25. I use to ask my boys if they had hollow legs that they were feeding. They were only 13 months apart in age and both very active in Sports so they were always hungry.....LOL!
