Where have all the birds gone?? Usually in the early morning like this, there are lots and lots of birds out at the feeder station. This morning there are none. Not one. Not even a rabbit.
It all started yesterday. I were sit'n out there on "da porch" sip'n a cup and cleaning up my project "bubba boat" mess. There were no birds in the trees and the pesky doves were not scream'n at me. Mighty strange.
12 noon:
Ok....birds are coming back. But still not near as many as usual. So I guess we will all wake up tomorrow, have a big breakfast, then go out on "da porch" and sip a cup.
Me and "pesky" was out on "da porch" talk'n BS to each other. Somehows we got on the subject of snakes....the mean kind. Of course he told the old redneck story of the guy that shot a hole in the bottom of the boat with a shot gun when a snake fell out of a tree into the boat. That reminded me of my first swim'n adventure in the swim hole on the farm. I was 6 year old, knowed nuttin bout how to swim. As long as my feet was touch'n bottom, I was swim'n. There was 6 of us in that hole, but then there was only 1.....me, feet barely touch'n bottom. There was snakes in the water. That where I learn to swim...... really fast.
Ok, one more thing on the "bubba boat". I need to slow down that little 12 volt motor. Not that I don't mind go'n a hunert mile a hour, but have ya ever try to troll a fish lure go'n that fast??? I know there's someone on here that knows how to do this, so tell me.
NO BIRDS??? of course not, with that huge blue predator flying thru the air. BB you made my day,,,hahahahaha,,,
ReplyDeleteThe birds are usually pretty good weather forecasters, maybe they trying to tell you about the wind coming. If'n you don't want to believe them then go find an old Indian, Arapahoe, Apache, Navaho, they all pretty good at reading signs, and I don't mean bill boards.
ReplyDeleteMaybe this "end of the world" think was just for the birds. . .
ReplyDeletePersonally I won't attempt to slow down the motor till you test it. You may find out it's just right. Running it out of water, not pushing a load, you have no idea how fast the boat will move.
ReplyDeleteAbout the boat speed, every trolling motor I ever had had a variable speed control built in, went from nothing to a little more than nothing in one twist. Like Ben says, don't worry about the speed until after the speed trials. You may be able to control it with the size of the lures, big lure, slow speed, little lure not quite as slow.
ReplyDeleteWayne, what is the fishing report?
ReplyDeleteThe fishing is good. I just got back.
