Super User clayton86 Posted February 10, 2013 Super User Posted February 10, 2013 We got like 30" not to shabby it will be gone tomorrow probably or most of it. It's keeping me in tonight even though the wind is perfect for one of my coyote spots I dont have snow shoes or feel like walking a mile in the crap to make 1 stand that will probably be a bust because they don't like moving in deep snow either not this fluffy crap.

Cant say I blame them. Im not partial to moving around in snow either. Of course I was also pulling 600 MCM in the snow a few weeks ago. We got five inches. 80% had melted 3 hours after the snow had quit falling. I can say im one of the few electricians that has pulled wire in a snow storm, in Alabama. We slipped and slid all over the ground while tryingbto feed that wire into a conduit. Quote

Topwaterspook Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Next time you offer to soap it............. Quote
Topwaterspook Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Next time you crawl down in the manhole and do the soaping.............. Quote
Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted February 11, 2013 Author Super User Posted February 11, 2013 Next time you crawl down in the manhole and do the soaping.............. Tried for that. They shot that down real quick. Said they needed the muscle and experience working up top. The next day after our tugger gave out. I wound up in the manhole. The water was 16" deep and a little above 34*. However I got the wire through in record time and put us a day ahead of schedule. Quote

I'll be thinking of you while we are at the races in Daytona. And if we miss you on the way down and back for this trip, I'll be in the neighborhood again as I make my way to the Road Trip and on the return. It's not wise to poke a hornet's nest by taunting.

You come on down then old timer. Just remember theres lots of mine shafts and woods down here thst have long since been forgotten. Seriously though. Bring your geriatric self down this way. If we cant get out and fish, the wife and I will meet yall for breakfast or dinner. As you know this southern food beats yalls yankee food any day of the week. Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted February 12, 2013 Super User Posted February 12, 2013 I like southern cooking, including grits. I was born in GA. But I'm here to tell you there ain't a Bubba Q in the world that can top an authentic New England clambake. Typical ingredients are white potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, hot dogs, saugages, chourico, steamer clams, fish, lobsters, sweet corn, to name a few. It's not only the eating. It's the spectacle of cooking. First, rocks about softball size are heated by placing them in a fire of cordwood. When heated, the rocks are pulled from the fire with long handled rakes, and the ashes and embers are cleared from the fire bed. The rocks are then pushed back together, and covered with rockweed gather from rocky tidal shallows. Then the ingredents are stacked on top of the seaweed. A large potato, with a cord attached is placed on top of the food. The final stage is to cover the food to contain the heat for cooking. Sometimes it's more seaweed, but most often two or three layers of canvas tarps are used. The bottom edges of the tarp are usually sealed with more seaweed. While the bake is cooking, clam chowder is usually available as an appetizer. Dessert is usually ice cold watermelon. After cooking for about an hour, the "bakemaster" will pull out the potato. If the potato is cooked, it's time to eat. If it's not cooked, the bakemaster will determine how much longer before the bake is ready. There are probably as many variations to a New England clambake as there are to barbeques. Quote
