@Enki_Amenra check out my bass, they are growing at warp speed. Can't believe it's only been 3 months since I put them in there.

Another 2 years and we can have the VN invitational fishing tournament on lake Moran in beautiful Hillsboro, Ga. Its that F1 Florida strain that grows fast and big, but they only live like 5-7 years. I'm hoping they'll be big enough to lay eggs next spring and start reproducing.

What are you all's favorite sleep supplements?

I've heard magnesium helps.

Don't love melatonin due to a bit of grogginess, but it's fine and may try again. And I HATE diphenhydramine.

Booze.

that's fantastic.

Grats, moran.

All WR's are F1, Mexico I think, or Castaic.

She's a lot prettier than you.

Hey, there's a big difference between 42 and 40.....that accounts for why she is much purdier. But thanks for the compliment on the Mrs......I wouldn't trade her for anyone. Not even Salma or Shakira.

Seriously, I definitely married up and she has continued to get better looking with age so I agree with you despite the fact that I always have batted out of my league. It used to piss off my friends in high school and right after school. They would shoot their shot and I would hang back and end up with the young lady/ladies coming after me. My wife pursued me like crazy until I gave in and went to hang out with her.

No clue why.... probably because I am more of the respectful & confident but quiet type that makes good women wonder "what's up with him and why isn't he approaching me?" But I'm just being myself and I ain't gonna question good fortune! Also, glad that my kids mostly look like her with some of my features. My son has girls constantly after him.

Got Wild Turkey once and it's pretty good but not my favorite.

However what I did do was save the bottle, remove the label, and put olive oil in it with a pour spout. It's now my olive oil dispenser. Which is fun because there's a little turkey on the glass.

You gotta try the 101 or their higher end line and the Russell’s line. The regular 81 is meh

The 101 is what I had. But I'm also not a huge whiskey/bourbon drinker in the first place.

That's what I drank when I used to drink. 101 was ole reliable along with high life and an occasional corona. Am glad I quit but I certainly don't judge or look at anyone who does differently.

Tennessee Football Finding Consistent Success Recruiting State Of North Carolina | Rocky Top Insider

Landing five-star offensive tackle David Sanders is the latest win for Tennessee football recruiting in the state of North Carolina.

www.rockytopinsider.com

The Vols have landed five highly touted players in the state of North Carolina starting with the 2022 recruiting class all the way to the 2026 recruiting class.

It started in 2022 when Tennessee landed James Pearce Jr. who was the No. 6 player in the Tar Heel State according to 247sports. Tennessee’s success continued into the 2023 recruiting class when they landed defensive lineman Daevin Hobbs, the top player in the state, as well as Nathan Leacock— the No. 3 player in the state.

The Vols didn’t land any players in North Carolina in the 2024 recruiting class before picking back up in the 2025 class with Sanders. Heupel and his staff are already ahead of the curve in the 2026 recruiting cycle having already landed quarterback Faizon Brandon— the top player in the state of North Carolina.

Yes, 225 often. Can turn the ribs to mush going that low and slow. I’d rather just do pulled pork at that point.

Here’s the color I always shoot for. Took almost 3 hours today. Little burn on both ends, mostly due to the size of my smoker (little one)

Crazy how fast they grow. It would be cool to tag a few of them and weigh them over the years.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Next weekend, no Vols, but college football returns. So that'll be nice.

Meh, just go to the Jeep Invasion in Pigeon Forge. There were only 65,000 Jeeps there last year and the weather should be around a cool 101.

 

[JacketVol]

So it was the spring game? Or was it practice? Sorry I didn’t know I was dealing with another insider.

Get as close to him as you want, it’s still an outlandish thing to say about a walk on who has played 0 snaps. Jabari ran for 2k and 24 here . Let’s see how Bishop runs against UTC before you anoint him coach.

Guess you are now pulling for a Vol to fail.

 

[drvenner]

Roland

Roland James owned him when he tried to run wide.

Still one of my all time favorite Vols

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Charleston is nice. Would be nicer if it wasn't in SC.

Georgia should claim it.

 

[Volunteer821]

That would be cool, I think I will start weighing them from now on to see the progress. The place I got the fish at told me they would be 1 1/2 to 2 pounds by spring and a few would possibly go on the bed and lay eggs. I tell you what, I believe they are right. I'm gonna do a little cranking this winter and see if I can catch a few to see the progress. That pond is only and acre and a half but its got a spot by the dam that is supposed to be 18+ feet deep according to my BIL. I could see it I guess if its at full pool, but right now its down about 2 foot.

Fingers look like they got cooked a little too,

 

[drvenner]

If you're not already back, you can see the home of everyone's favorite President, James Buchanan , in Lancaster. Seriously, (1) Valley Forge is only an hour away from you if you have a car. If you're flying out of (2) Philadelphia, I highly recommend the art museums there. Those, at any rate, are the two things I decided on the only time I was in PA for work. There is or was a dedicated Matisse museum in Philly, if you are into that.

I am back. I still appreciate the recommendations.

 

[Volunteer821]

Georgia should claim it.

Might as well, they ain't getting nickajack.

Moving to Costa Rica, laying down in your bed and sleeping peacefully because it's so dang progressive down there...

@mrMet
You see who threw out the first pitch yesterday at the Mets game?

Viral star Hailey Welch throws out first pitch before NY Mets game: Social media reactions

Social media reacts to viral internet sensation Hailey Welch throwing out the first pitch before Mets game at Citi Field on Thursday.

I cannot help myself. I bet she throws a mean spitball.

He’s trying to pass it off as some secret knowledge he’s gained from reffing HS games, as if no one else can get access to that footage. Better football minds than him thought he was worth taking but not using 1 of the 85. Jabari was an above average player, it’s flippant to say what he said and provide no supporting information. He could’ve avoided all this by just admitting it was an opinion.

Anyone else wanna jump in and hold this guy’s hand?

Kid wanted to be a Vol and had plenty of opportunities elsewhere but we gave him a great walk on plan he was willing to take. He’s better than at least one already here as part of the 83.

Acre and a half isn't huge, but it's not little either. I think it could handle a few big fish. I like that "bamabass" youtube channel. He does everything the right way. You could probably get some tips from his videos. He talks about how he feeds them and the other type of fish to add or not add.
