Don, you've got me figured out pretty well, I'd probably be the one in the hospital with poisoning. Of course , I could squirt some soap on the nest before getting the boat on a plane....then follow the soap bubbles back to know where to fish. At 40 mph, would that wash those hornets enough ya think?
Bob, regarding the acting job on the killer hornets at the boat dock. It's funny what people will fall for. My family did an acting job at Ky lake once. We were chasing white bass that were busting the top, and eventually they quit. We were congregating around in a circle (several boats) when these 2 guys come cruising toward us....looking to get in on the action. We decided to act like we were spotting bass and chasing them....fake casts and all. Those guys followed us around for half an hour before they figured out we weren't into any fish at all.
Gene, glad you could enjoy our county. Your comment made me think of my dad who as a child lived in a small cabin on land that is now Brown County State park. I have a picture of his family sitting on the porch of the cabin....sometime in the early 1920's . Not many of them had shoes. Don't know if they thought they lived in paradise and I suspect there was very little room in that cabin for all those kids.
Ron, thanks for the grill pictures, I saw your post in the branson forum and couldn't help but like the tractor you have.
Garry, I've been thru your state, but haven' gotten to spend any time in door country...but from what I've heard you are surely right. When you are down in Brown County, make sure you get some of those Brown County fried biscuits and apple butter....you'll start looking like me. I don't know the statistics, but I've heard that Brown County State park gets as many visitors if not more than some of the national parks. We have a large concentration of oak hardwoods here, which are not as brilliant as the maples in the north, but have their own unique subtle shades of bronze,red, browns, greens, oranges. Take a walk in the woods on an october day with the light filtering down thru the leaves...and it's hard to describe.
Dave, it is always greener on the other side. Sometimes we have the best right around us and don't even appreciate it. Sometimes it takes outsiders to show us what we really do have.
Anyway, thanks all for the discussion. I am just now getting back to normal from the corn overdose on Sunday. I'm thankful for the fel....and a tractor to move it. Harv is right...life is good.
