Paging Ricky Spanish

[plainsman]

Number is growing. Lots of lurker jerkers. That being said it looks like this place use to be hopping pretty good. Looks like there was a mass exodus! Who ran them off? This place definitely seems a lot more relaxed than most places which is a good thing!

Naw, this forum was created for folks who didn't like the moderation Duck Hunting Chat had under its creator and wanted to cut up and cuss more. But most of that bunch eventually felt pinched by the much looser moderation here, too, and moved to FB, or somewhere, to talk about wearing the latest style of butt plugs to garage beer busts. Not kidding.

Was never a really popular site other than with those of us using it to maintain hunting logs. For which we are most grateful to Ollie, its owner, and Duck Engr, who now keeps it going.

[Pennydog1]

im looking foward to reading the hunting logs this coming year the past ones are one of the reasons what caught my attention to join and to read how the hunting is in all the flyways and how different ways to chase fowl is done.

Would you believe it if I told you that Wyoming was the first government to allow women to vote?
You have to listen to Paul Harvey to confirm it but it's true.

Every once in a while YT puts a "rest of the story" video in my feed.
Today was it.

[Ricky Spanish]

Help!?
I have a gopro hero 8. It's black.
If I record a long enough video it breaks it up into 11:47 pieces. I'm not sure why.
Might be the phone.
To upload is tedious.
I remove the SD card from gopro.
Put it into the phone and then I can upload the pieces.
Any video experts here?
I tried getting everyday limits to share how he edits but the guy won't talk.
I have a feeling that the answer is "buy an expensive laptop that is set up for editing video in the box".
I'm pushing this phone to its limits.

Public service announcement: duck hunting show playing right now on the pursuit channel. I’m charged up now! Get down here you teal!

[Ricky Spanish]

It's 85 with like 95% humidity it's pretty rotten outside.
I was sweating pulling the grill out of the garage and it's down hill. had to bend over to pick up the cord. That's enuff slow down. I'm running low on the jet fuel. G6

Slaving over a hot grill all day is what I'll call it.

[Ricky Spanish]

This is cool. He parks that huge truck and blocks a ton of bees from returning. When he moves the truck all them goofed up bees find their hives and pour in.
I tend to not "cockblock" a bee hive or try not to.
[

Adding thirds means he's got 3 deep boxes for supers.
That is about 270+ pounds of honey when full.
That guy is set up on canola.


This thing is a "bee escape". They put it on a day ahead. It forces all the bees down below it so they can pull honey with hardly any bees.

It has little cones. One-way.
Down. Bees go down at night to keep the baby bees warm.

[Ricky Spanish]

This is sad. His bee truck, bobcat, and about 600 supers were stolen. That Pile is about 120 supers.
They're empty.
Value?
120 x $60 roughly

Different guy it's not Ian Steppler that got robbed.

[Ricky Spanish]

Just got a six gallon honey order.
This Phillipino lady is one heck of a honey eater.
She buys every 6 months.
A gallon a month? Yup.
There's a guy who eats a half gallon every month himself. He takes it on vacation.
Its not sugar. He can't eat sugar.

[Ricky Spanish]

Filled.
Ready to go.
$420.

[Ricky Spanish]

Hahahaha...
This is about the 4th time he's had this problem.

Hate it when that happens.

[Ricky Spanish]

Hate it when that happens.

Last time he strapped them onto the roof of the suv and took off. MOST people would put the TVs inside the vehicle but I guess that's too ...uhhhh...???
Smh
But for the grace of God go I.

[Ricky Spanish]

There was some chatter about chickens, pecking order, and peepers. I've still got 10 chickens coexisting in the big coop. They sorted it out themselves.

[Ricky Spanish]

Sometimes you're the windshield and sometimes you're the bug.
Went to pull honey.
Opened the shed up and gee that's weird...these rocks n stuff moved. Huh?
So I kicked them back where they were.
Went in and there's a big hole where two lawn mowers WERE.
Damn I've got two acres to mow and no mowers.
So fucked I am.
They broke a door to get in. Luckily they couldn't figure out how to get my boat out.

[Duck Engr]

Dang Betty! Hate to hear that. Glad they didn’t get your boat so close to season.

[Anotherone]

At your house?

[Ricky Spanish]

Ugh.
My family owns several homes.
The biggest one is here in town and very old.
1800s.
Has a 2 acre yard where I keep my bees.
There's a big shed.
The door locks...lol.
Had them security hook-latches you have to be inside to open. You can defeat that easy and someone did.
I'll post the video of me screwing the door shut.
Wish I'd thought of that before.
Gee I guess I'm lucky.
No more mowing.

[Anotherone]

They got the zero turn?

[Ricky Spanish]

They got the zero turn?

Yeah. An RZ5424.
The other was a JD310? and super old.
Had a dumping cart. 5 cubic feet.

Replacement cost.
Oh God...over $6k with tax.
1000 dollar deductible.

My mom is loaded and it's no big deal but it stinks.
I screwed the doors shut with deck screws.

Resized_20220810_154641.jpeg

At least I've got decoys and a boat with an engine on it.

The sick part is if I find the mower and shitstomp the perps a judge will just let them go free. No bail.
What a world. I think I'll just go steal me a new mower.

[Anotherone]

Damn crackheads. Your mowers are probably at the nearest pawn shop.

[Ricky Spanish]

It's ironic. To get them mowers out they had to get a sliding door open that barely works. They only got it halfway open and partly closed. The rails are falling off
They had to move stacks of bee hives and get this...they put them back. Crazy but true.

[Ricky Spanish]

Damn crackheads. Your mowers are probably at the nearest pawn shop.

This is gangland. They're in st Louis or chicago....Peoria or Decatur. It was raining when it happened. No tracks in the grass by now

[Ricky Spanish]

Suddenly I'm a mower buyer.
Clueless? Yeah.
This is kind of what got stolen.
Had a Briggs 24 horse engine this one has a Kohler. The one we lost is 8 years old. Hard to believe my dads been dead that long.

Screenshot_20220810-160704_Chrome.jpg

42 inch riding mower.
This will do.
The other was very old and had some add ons for a handicapped driver.

Screenshot_20220810-161029_Chrome.jpg

The wagon is cheap to replace. $150 maybe

[SpinnerMan]

The one we lost is 8 years old. Hard to believe my dads been dead that long.

It'll be 5 years this fall that my mom and dad passed 8 days apart It doesn't seem that long ago, but it sure does go fast.

[Anotherone]

Get this bad ass machine. Cutting 2 acres once a week about 8 months a year, on year 3 now. Powerful and tough as nails. About $5500.

[SpinnerMan]

Oh no. This was just posted on my Facebook.

You two lead an active life together, I'm very proud to call you family! Aunt Betty

My wife's mom's sister is really named Betty.
