What a great retreat and family project!

There's no mistaking those boys are brothers! Are they twins?

Thank you all for the nice complements.

The boys do look a lot alike but they are three years apart and have completely different personalities.

Omaha, on another subject I'm a K-State grad and after Thursday night I'm not real happy with Nebraska smile

Fortunately for me I fell asleep at halftime and was spared watching the second half.

I was getting worried in the first quarter. The time of possession difference was slanted heavily in your favor, Thomas was getting positive yards, and you were converting third downs. A small part of me felt bad that it happened on Coach Snyder's birthday.

About a week ago my uncle came to the farm for the first time. He is 88 and loves to fish. He said this was the best fishing of his life. Between him and my cousin, 12 catfish and 2 bass were caught. I had told them to bring a cooler and to take fish home so they cleaned all the fish. We had a fish fry that evening and they took the rest home. In the summer when we ate catfish I didn't enjoy much. Now that we are not feeding and the water is cooler the catfish are delicious.

It took all three of us to hold up the stringer.


This weekend the boys and I spent the night and ate catfish in the evening. We kept two six pound channel cats. I brought the rest home and my wife and I ate catfish tonight.



Jack with a nice bass.


Neither Scott or I are fishermen. We get our pleasure watching others catch fish. On Thursday my wife and I spent the night and I caught a catfish for dinner that night - it was the first fish I had caught this year.

Great times, Lyle. Thanks for taking us along.

Interesting about what you mentioned regarding the taste of the catfish.

CC can get off-flavored but not usually when they are on feed.

Thanks for keeping us in the loop.

I was wondering why they were off flavor as well.

I wonder if it was due to the heat rather than the feed.

Maybe that fish had bee feeding on the bottom for a while.


Either way these are great pics and as many have said thanks for letting us be a part of the experience.

Maybe it is the cooler water and not the food. I don't know what caused the taste difference was but food and water temp were the two things that changed.

Could be either or both.

Off flavor in CC --- https://srac.tamu.edu/index.cfm/event/getFactSheet/whichfactsheet/33/


The most common off-flavors in
pond aquaculture are caused by
blue-green algae, so most off-flavor
management practices are
aimed at manipulating phytoplankton
communities to eliminate
that group of organisms. A
variety of schemes have been proposed
for managing phytoplankton
blooms, but most approaches
have either been unreliable or
impractical.

Have a great time! Spain is one of my favorite countries to visit.

Spain looks awesome! My friend in Belgium vacations there often.

Regarding the off taste of catfish. What helps is to keep them alive after being caught and keep them in fresh clear water for a few days. A 55 gallon drum works if you don't pack them in, and can keep the water quality up. It gets rid of the off taste. A friend of mine keeps them in his spare bathroom bathtub. No wonder he's not married! grin

Yes, I don't think Terry would let me keep them in our bathtub!!

I think my solution is to eat catfish in the spring and fall and skip the summer.

Solar System
When I wired up the solar system a year ago I did't do the connection to provide for generator input. So this week I opened up the system and wired in the generator connection. Now we can hook up the generator and it will both provide the electricity to the cabin and also charge the batteries. One hour of generator should charge the batteries enough for one day of use.

We've been using the solar system for a year and it's really worked great for us. In the summer with the longer days and in general less cloudy weather we have excess capacity. In the winter with the much shorter days of sunlight and the greater likelihood of heavy cloud cover a generator may sometime be used.

Last winter one time we spent 4 days in a row at the cabin and there was a very heavy cloud cover(snowing). I depleted the batteries just a little bit more than I would have liked. That was the only time in the first year that I would have used a generator.

Spent this very cold weekend at the cabin with grandson Tom and wife Terry. We had a great time. Had below zero wind chills and an inch of snow last night. But we kept a good fire going in the fireplace and it was cozy warm. Today we got our first sled ridding of the year.
