Well we have been busy, and not many photos or stories so far.
The majority of the catfish catching happened on Wednesday. We started fishing in the afternoon, and since our pond is mostly a "catch and release" situation for some of the neighbors, and since I mostly feed the fish old bread or floating fish food....the fish don;t seem to bite on normal bait anymore. The best luck was had by putting the hook in bread floating on the surface......and the one really big catfish in the pond never comes to the surface.
Versy has a fish that fought pretty good.....and MM is ready to net him.
MM doing the network!
Thursday morning we did some bike wrenching, then went out to the field and did some shooting. Lancer was the "Big Man on Campus" with his 45-70, and was shooting off the bench, then had to show us that he could hit stuff 150 yards away with his open sights and while standing out in the sun. MMRanch brought a bunch of ammo for his little Contender pistol that has 3 different barrels...and we shot up hundreds of his rounds trying to hit stuff 150 yards away with a pistol....we had trouble hitting the target at that range - but we were always within a few feet from what we could tell by the little dirt spray we could see. Then Oldfellor got out his rifles....and Versy was trying to set the woods on fire with his blackpowder pistol.
The bench and tent....Versy, Oldfeller,MM & Lancer.

After the shooting and a snack, we went on a ride and we headed over to Indiana so MMRanch could mark that state on his map of places he has ridden, then we went to Quaker Steak and Lube in Florence, KY for their bike night. We saw hundreds of bikes, then went inside to eat. Inside the place the walls are decorated withe bike parts, and there are motorcycles and cars hanging from the ceiling to keep us entertained while the food is being prepared. All us gearheads walk around the place looking up at the ceiling.....it is easy to run into each other while walking around!
Not sure what is on the agenda for today....most likely a trip down to Augusta, KY and a ferry ride across the river to Ohio - so MM can cross one more state off his map.
