Either my life has gotten really boring,....or I just havent been doing anything much for nine months!<br /> I had a belly button hernia fixed last week..been waiting years to get around to getting it done!<br /> I quit fishing last spring as soon as my freezers got full...took about 4 weeks to fill them.<br />Last summer the heat started bothering me...Never really has in all my life but it does now.<br /> Dont drink or smoke anymore...Its not that I dont really want to, its just that God has allowed me to "Run Amuck" for way to many years and now I know why I wasnt supposed to do the things I used to do!<br />The honeybees still hold my interest immensely! I cant believe its the beginning of my third year with the bees now, come this spring! I still hang out in Beemaster.com forums...Beemaster is pretty much my home on the internet.But, now that I thinkmof it, it has been my internet home since the day i discovered it!<br />Well,...Im here, and what more could a person ask for.<br /> Oh yeah,...I'd like to take this opportunity to give God thanks for a dear friend of mine who passed away just a few weeks ago. I always considered him the "King of Fishing". I never knew another person who could fish for whatever he wanted and was the best out of all the people I know who fish.<br /> Sooo,...Thanks,to my friend, Terry Goin,...He took alot of fishing secrets with him when he left, but he also shared more secrets with me than anybody Ive ever met. In all do respect, The lake fish will be in a safer place now that Terry left them for greener pastures<br /> Terrys son, Danny gave me a warning when I saw him at the funeral...he said," "John, dont eat anymore fish from lake Buffalo....We're gonna dump some of his ashes in there!"...Well, you know how is is with fish sometimes...Every now and then you come across a bone..I just hope Terry dont mind if I take a piece of him out of the lake every now and then!<br />I guess thats all for now!<br />your friend,<br />john<br /></span></span></span></span>Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17265545547698867267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4370930307032061494.post-67634444014645931892008-05-19T20:33:00.000-07:002008-12-11T15:34:29.013-08:00Dancing girl!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimZEiYkw2QLD_suihDy6-j1IbgLI7_LAJBkhECgW12Y5Q9D5OXQGNW0huHcn0mMCHV2O7Nj3h17K4kNZS2GlD-ZzV5PUmwwvGn4Ukd0xhxMOJH2wTS4_5-zn4gCZdRYxHZNPb95-2FfbBl/s1600-h/DSC_0054.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimZEiYkw2QLD_suihDy6-j1IbgLI7_LAJBkhECgW12Y5Q9D5OXQGNW0huHcn0mMCHV2O7Nj3h17K4kNZS2GlD-ZzV5PUmwwvGn4Ukd0xhxMOJH2wTS4_5-zn4gCZdRYxHZNPb95-2FfbBl/s400/DSC_0054.JPG" border="0" /></a> Doesnt this look like a dancing girl spinning till her dress pops up?<div style='clear:both; text-align:NONE'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17265545547698867267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4370930307032061494.post-23469522571790935482008-05-19T20:30:00.000-07:002008-12-11T15:34:29.137-08:00Ok,....here a bee pic!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikZ3djvO-PFDW-h9VNypgFtZqG68lbEEst0t428UOnSOL5DdVG45LQbeFhJO05iH0jz58InJyGzZQCY5cfxIFy-A4l6d-CejYO5clfo2XkRdShsi8kf3X3RKNYs3PENAZTadgzyhlK_OMI/s1600-h/DSC_0084-1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikZ3djvO-PFDW-h9VNypgFtZqG68lbEEst0t428UOnSOL5DdVG45LQbeFhJO05iH0jz58InJyGzZQCY5cfxIFy-A4l6d-CejYO5clfo2XkRdShsi8kf3X3RKNYs3PENAZTadgzyhlK_OMI/s400/DSC_0084-1.JPG" border="0" /></a> So,.....

Still, I havent had second thoughts about doing the bees! This is one of the best decisions of starting another hobby I have ever had.</span></em><br /><em><span style="color:#ff6666;"> There are a few things I've learned,(well, a few of MANY things I've learned) during my first year of keeping bees. I now know that not everybody finds bees interesting enough to want to keep them. Sure, people say they find bees very interesting, but not enough to start a hive of their own. I mentioned before to others that I feel beekeeping is only meant for certain types of people, and we're a select few. I dont have a list of what the requirements are to keep bees, but I bet the bees themselves know. I just know that I find myself a better person for being a beekeeper. Honeybees have opened windows for me to look out into a "Secret World"..When I see a bee, I see something that is important to life on earth, not just a bug that can sting me or a bug that makes honey...I see a perfect member to a perfect society which I feels humans should be emulating.</span></em><br /><em><span style="color:#ff6666;">I've also learned that keeping bees brings me a sort of peace that nothing else on this earth can do...Tropical fish come close, but they pretty much dont have a choice to leave if they dont like how things are happening in their environment. When I sit there, in front of a hive just watching and listening, I feel that I'm on the edged of having the answers to creation but since I'm human I cant really grasp the truth that the bees already know and understand.</span></em><br /><em><span style="color:#ff6666;"> I also have learned that I really cant control bees and what they do, I can only read books, visit forums, and try the advice out from these places,</span></em><br /><em><span style="color:#ff6666;"> One more thing,....I feel that if a person is humble they will have a greater chance of understanding how and why bees do what they do. I'm not saying that I'm humble like what I'm talking about but I wish I was...Maybe thats why monks made alot of discoveries about bees....Because they were/are in training to be humble.</span></em><br /><em><span style="color:#ff6666;"> When I was leaving Pauls house, Paul came running out to stop me and told me to come look!..His bees were "Bearding" on the front of his hive(He got his first hive this spring). When I got to my house I checked on my hives and they were doing the same. I guess it was because it was over a hundred degrees today. I tried to take pictures but it was dark and i couldnt focus....I didnt get a pic to post this time...Not that i didnt try, but when I went to post a picture here I couldnt remember how and where to look for my pictures!</span></em><br /><em><span style="color:#ff6666;"> Now dont that just figure!!!</span></em><br /><em><span style="color:#ff6666;">Well, Thats about it for awhile.</span></em><br /><em><span style="color:#ff6666;">your friend,</span></em><br /><em><span style="color:#ff6666;">john</span></em>Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17265545547698867267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4370930307032061494.post-71005694776909961542008-05-11T15:57:00.000-07:002008-12-11T15:34:29.258-08:00Ferret got put down....<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJnUfqknhHnhLSr1ubbUyw4eibEqzbyhhwJX-f_7jQ1F7ZEi3PTIlI8TazGEMM_wQgC3AydAtQffX90otVj-QP0IqfmU2qjaa-KvnvXeBy54NPqn8s5Aql9pQWLoxyDkbP7QhpeFNbou6w/s1600-h/DSC_0134.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199264312326687746" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJnUfqknhHnhLSr1ubbUyw4eibEqzbyhhwJX-f_7jQ1F7ZEi3PTIlI8TazGEMM_wQgC3AydAtQffX90otVj-QP0IqfmU2qjaa-KvnvXeBy54NPqn8s5Aql9pQWLoxyDkbP7QhpeFNbou6w/s320/DSC_0134.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#ff0000;">Well, I kinda knew it was coming. Poor lil' Didi (my ferret ) was put down recently. She had an adrenal problem where almost all her hair fell out and she peed all over the place as she had very little bladder control. I put her down. It was a bummer....Not really the same as a dog, whereas I always take them to a vet to do it, and not as easy as a chicken(even killing a chicken can make me ball though). Didi was almost nine years old. The last few years were very unfair to here as nobody in the house ever wanted to let her out(including me).</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#ff0000;">I think pets go to heaven too. I mean, they ARE perfect, and if they appear to us that they are mean or wierd, its usually the fault of man altering their personality...Animals just do what they do. I dont want to go into explaining this next thing, but since having bees, I've come to the realization that animals ARE animals, not people. I've learned that you shouldnt believe that they understand everything as humans do, because they dont..Dont ask me WHY it took bees to show me this because I just dont know...Also, dont get me wrong..I DO love my animals! All of them!...But for some reason though I love the dogs the most!</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#ff0000;">I believe its true that a dog is "Mans Best Friend"! A person just has to open their eyes to see the truth in this!</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#ff0000;">I think Jesus probably had a dog at one time or other in his life.</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#ff0000;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#ff0000;">Heres one of mine, Tank!</span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#ff0000;">Oops....hes up there!^</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#ff0000;"></span></div><br /><div></div>Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17265545547698867267noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4370930307032061494.post-89757362847175436612008-05-11T15:42:00.000-07:002008-05-11T15:51:31.594-07:00Fishing is GREAT again!<em><span style="color:#ffff66;">Well, I havent been writing much here recently as The fishing has been really good!!!</span></em><br /><em><span style="color:#ffff66;"> I'm writing now because my boat broke and its gonna be in the shop for at least a week(That probably means several weeks!)

Anyways, with 4 people in the boat, the fish hit MY lure!. One that I made! One of the thousands that i make!<br /> And I can tell you one thing in ALL honesty...THESE ARE American made fishing lures. I do it all from melting the lead to the last step of putting the hook on!..Tell me one place that has an American made slab spoon that costs less than 1.50$...A piece!..The leads from the U.S., The paints from the U.S. The crane swivels are from the U.S., Split rings,..yep, U.S. Prismatic eyes, you ask?.....You Betcha!

The days are cold and before you know it it gets up in the 80's! In the last few days I've been getting fishing lures ready to sell during this spring and summer. I'm fighting with my decision whether to raise my lure prices from $1.50 to $2.00 . I generally only charge enough to be able to make enough money to put in my boat and truck so I can go fishing. Gas is so high now that I may just trade lures for gasoline!</span></em><br /><em><span style="font-size:100%;color:#ffcc00;"> I'm also planning for my honeybee season. I may split some hives so I have more bees. If I split my hives though, it'll mean less of a honey harvest(so I've read). I REALLY like my bees!!...Bees and Fishin'..Fishin' and Bees!!</span></em><br /><em><span style="font-size:100%;color:#ffcc00;"> This week I decided (AGAIN) to attack my beer gut!!...Its NOT the first time I've made an attempt to lose weight..Two times in the last 3 years I've gone from 270 down to 235...And thats it....It just takes that 1 donut!!!....And everybody KNOWS that donuts arent sold at 1 ea!!(Well, they are, but not how I shop!)..So, This time I started at 253 lbs...I'm down to 247 now...1 day at a time, right?
