You see the giant fin of what *has* to be a monster fish sailing around the middle of the lake. There was one fishing spot I frequented when I was younger, and every single time, that fish would show up in the same spot, making giant splashes with one of its fins raised as if it were a shark...

I just get trail mix....different kinds. The Archer Farms brand at Target carries a chunk-ton of different flavors. A bit pricy, but pretty filling for the most part.

I haven't watched this show yet, but I know it's really turned some heads. usually, I'm pretty critical of the reality stuff they put out, but so far, from comments and reviews, it seems like it would be something interesting at the very least.

Wow. That's so neat! I wonder if there's any possibilities that there are more uncovered underwater forests. Kind of a pity that the one discovered won't last too long. It's a great chance for scuba divers to get some amazing pictures though I think.

I don't watch much television anymore either. Reality shows as a whole have taken over most of the networks, and every single time they try to be more over the top than the last. I can pass on that stuff. It feels like there's rarely anything of interest to watch anymore as it stands. I miss...

I remember when I was younger, my Dad and I would go into the woods and pick up pine cones off the floor in Autumn. We'd keep them nice and cozy in a box until the first week of December, where we'd paint the cones, cover them in glitter, and hang them up on our Christmas tree. I also...

Wow so many responses! Perhaps it does depend on the state and the area. The lakes around Northern Kentucky are well known to be over-fished. If you don't get out there during the breeding season, hard luck trying to catch anything. Oh no, I'm keeping my fishing license, even if I don't...

That's pretty amazing how they were able to think up how to power up a flashlight just through the palm of one's hand. I can only imagine how long it takes before they start marketing that. I'd personally like to see a lantern sort of thing where the handle generates the heat needed to light...

Have you ever had people check for your fishing license before? I don't know what it is about the lakes I frequent, but I've never even seen a Fish and Wildlife Official make their rounds to check. My family and I follow the rules, but I admit it can be terribly silly to see a family across...

They call 'em Walking Tacos over here as well. My work sometimes prepares it for the employees, though it's not nearly as good as making it homemade with all the fixings. The best part is that it's so easy to make and doesn't require too much preparation compared to other meals.

He's only 8, and we've been thinking of getting him into the cub scouts. It really is a refreshing change and I'm hoping I can convince his Dad to take part in the scouts as well. It makes me wish my childhood was full of summer camps and scouts rather than being bored at home and playing with...

There are so many wonderful places outside of the US to go. I actually like Grandpa's suggestion of Nepal out of all the other ones. That area has always held my fascination, especially the idea of trekking into the mountains. I personally haven't been able to go out of the country for...

Cavergroupie, that's adorable! I've never gone kayaking before, so can't say whether my own mutt would be so willing to get into a kayak. Her hatred of all things water-related might suggest no though, even if it would be interesting to see how she took to being off land.

Barney, now you have me imagining some guy walking through the woods with a big ol' machete. I agree with you though, I honestly prefer smaller knives. Easier to carry, not so threatening to fellow people, and they can do the work most big knives can do. Unless you specifically need it for a...

Cappy, that picture makes me want BBQ chicken so bad! If I may ask, what's in the foil and tin pan on the left? Back on topic, the only experience with chicken I have is on the grill and in the crock pot. I have grilled vegetables in a similar manner though, especially ears of corn, which are...
