Keith, I wouldn't touch catfish from any store around here. There is a creek that runs into the Tennessee River at the foot of Lookout Mt that is so contaminated that they advise to not even get that water on your skin. There are commercial fishermen who have nets just below that creek. They catch the fish but can't sell them in Tennessee. They sell them to Georgia, then Georgia turns around and sells them right back to Tennessee. I wouldn't touch a store-bought fish with a vaccinated crowbar. Have you read where some of the food from Walmart comes from? I love oysters, but no way would I touch one from China.

They have good looking already cooked shrimp for $5 a pound, but from INDIA?

I dont think Ive ever bought fish to eat from any store. I'm like the rrest of you guys....I'm a fisherman so no need to get 'em from a store. I dont go out to eat fish either. I like them the way I season and cook them.

 

[Keith Mette]

I only eat fish we catch, fresh and never frozen. LOL.
Back in the 70's I use to buy oysters in a gallon can, they were so good. I don't eat any now.

We are getting blessed with rain. This past Saturday to today at high noon. Heavy at times and then finish up with lite showers everyday.

We got hammered last nite too. This has been the weirdest wettest year since I've lived here. The drought of the past three years was wiped out by May, and now we have a double-digit inches surplus. I hope by saying this I haven't jinxed us for the next three years...

I truly hope this doesn't offend anyone, it's just my knee-jerk reaction.

If you take a job that requires you to wear a mask to hide your identity, you need to seriously look at THAT!

 

[prlwng]

Gee, I heard some guys wear a mask for work and get paid very good for it. Some star as Batman, Spiderman, and a few others in movies. Then some costumes some guys wear when dacing on stage for the ladies require a mask. They may get alot of tips.

Finally got the car camera we ordered two weeks ago. Sd card did not work so it going back. Chinese junk. Did see a thing as to Chinese college grads are paying to fake work as no jobs. Bout same here. Younguns afraid of physical work.

Channels that still have spots I consider ok. Might take 3 or so for a meal. Ya catch them when getting bait for thier great great great grandpas. Smaller flats of 5lb or less ok.

Later

Don't look at how Tilapia are raised and sourced..

Remember when we were all told to wear a mask for our own safety. And people lost their jobs because they refused to. we should take a hard look at a lot of things.

We had a large project we were framing. Our work was then deamed non essential, but we kept working anyways. Then the cops stopped by two sites we had worked on in the last and told workers to stop. The developer finally made a company wide decision and shut all projects down.
We couldn't buy seeds in Michigan, it was so ridiculous.

It was called control of "the people". A step in installing communism. Not political, just fact.

Chattanooga and North GA have had some serious flooding since yesterday. The Tennessee River is well over its banks and has I-24 closed in places. Some had to be rescued from their homes and cars as the water was roof-high to their cars. We needed rain but not this much. lol

 

[Keith Mette]

I sure could use some rain.

I always called them Terrapins, but I looked it up and they are not tarrapins at all, they are just turtles. Tarrapins live in brackish waters; Box Turtles don't. Learned something new today.

I learned something else new today. I always thought mercury was the stuff we called quicksilver. I had no idea it was also a gas type. Back in school, we could get Mercury and play with it. We had no idea it was bad stuff. We could rub it on a penny and make it look like a dime. Live and learn.

 

[BigJim]

I was just watching the news from somewhere other than Chattanooga about the flood here. I have noticed most people say Chatnooga, it is pronounced Chat ta nooga. lol

I had a job like that. It was to protect my family from retaliation.
You and yours are safer today because I did my job and wore my mask. You and yours will be safer tomorrow if they wear theirs and do their job.
