D-League

[Bert Higginbotha]

Since my son moved to N'ville we'll probably be taking a trip down that way this Summer. Looked up Harper's and yelp says that it's closed. Unless there's another Harper's around there. Reviews from a few years ago didn't say anything about catfish...but seemed like a country cooking type place that probably had fish on the menu.

Check this out. My cousin brought over take out last month.

This is my kind of place. Great menu..

If you ever get down our way, go over to Ozello and try Pecks Old Port Cove. Fresh right out of their back yard.

There is one road there and one road back. Road is about 10 or 11 miles long. Worth the trip. From U.S. 19 to the Gulf there is very little habitation until you get to Ozello. Population is small, in 1890 it was zero but in 1900 it had grown to 49. Anyone living there with children had to get them to school by boat. The word was if a 6 year old can't boat to school he ain't worth sending to school.

I have been there several times. What a menu and what a restaurant. I took some friends with kids and their 6 year old girl got afraid because of all of the stuff animals. They are everywhere and every thing on Noah's Ark is in that place. When the football Cats were in the Gator Bowl against Georgia Tech I took my brother and his wife there. Amazing place.

Believe that I've been there a number of times back in the 80s and 90s. Can't remember the name but I think it's the same place. Has it been around that long?

It has been around about 45 or 50 years I think. I first went there in the late 1970's. It is located on a creek, part of the St Johns River. I like it because it is a place the locals would visit. I try to stay out of the tourist spots and favor the old old restaurants on the water front. The food seems to be better and old style.

That is why we go over to Ozello often. It is off the beaten path and you have to make an effort to get there but the drive is spectacular and you leave civilization for a moment in time. Here is an aerial shot of the restaurant and surroundings. The restaurant has a blue crab farm where you can get fresh blue crabs right out of Gulf.

Hank was around when you had to be able to sing to be in the business

A long time ago I read a book on Hank. It told of one time he went in the bank with a couple of handfulls of cash and laid it in front of the teller. She asked how much was there. He said, "Hell if I know! It's my job to make it and your job to count it!"

Good afternoon! I got the seats put on my cart today. BY MYSELF! Mechanic didn't show up today, probably because of all the rain. Had to go to the hardware store and pick up a few bolts that should be included in the price.

My cart was parked in the lower level of the barn alongside another cart and a wall. I changed the seats out and got everything tight and fitted. I then decided to take the cart out for a ride since I am officially done with modifications. That's when I realized that I could have pulled the cart out into the open when I first started working on it.

I did all that work in a confined space of my own choosing. I was too focused on what I was doing and didn't pay attention to where I was doing it.

They look nice and are very comfortable. I rate it as a good purchase in spite of the price.

I just mowed my grass again. I have some fence row that I need to attend to and I'm afraid it's going to turn out like the last 10 years and I just leave it to nature to regulate itself. What could go wrong?

Now that's a great kicker's name...

...and are having a hard time getting parts. So when they run the camper through the manufacturing line.....they park them completed out in the field where they park them before delivery...but many times they are missing windows or doors and the rain just goes inside them.

Where did sense go?

 

[Girthang]

Yesterday, I had a friend in the yard while I was mowing (eastern rat snake Pantherophis alleghaniensis). He was about 3.5 to 4' long. I added the scientific name for Rooster.

I played with him a few minutes and ran him out of the mowing zone. It did not like being herded. I beg my neighbors not to kill the rat snakes but they often do not comply.

They are handsome snakes. The second picture is when he reacted to me herding him.

He's screaming "racerism!" (Get it? Because he's not a Racer but a Rat Snake... moves much slower... nm)

Taxes completed and e-filed. Hate this time of year. They don't mind giving an extra month to file due to COVID but they sure as hell don't give an extra month for quarterly payments.

I have never eaten walleye. Here's a strange one. I've never eaten crappie. Mostly bass. Some catfish. I never thought bluegill were worth the cleaning effort.

You just gave up any chance you have to ever refer to yourself as a country boy. I know that doesn't bother you or you would instinctively cherish the food gold that is the bluegill. If you've never had crappie, then see to it that you do.

I'm not a picky eater but I do despise picking through bones to eat some fish. Just not worth it to me though I will eat up some mackerel... (Plenty of small bones but you get some good chunks of meat too.)

There should never be any bones in the fish you eat. Get rid of the bones before the cook.

Yep, might as well eat potted meat if you don't know how to clean a fish.

Mmm Mmm Mmm.... The gooduns have bones. Clean them to no bones and you waste more than half the fish. I couldn't bring myself to do that.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 60° and rainy, with a more rain and a high of 62° expected later today.

Everyone stay safe out there today.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 62°F and clear. Expecting 81°F for our high.

Front yard mowed and trimmed yesterday. Plan on mowing our back yard today after work.

Happy Hump Day. Happy Cinco de Mayo.

Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

We used to in the old days when my mother was around eat the fish off of the bone. You get all of the meat that way and, it makes you slow down when you were eating so, you filled up before you ate too much. Now, my wife wants it fileted so, when I catch some I text her to see if she wants it to filet. If not, I throw them back. We keep about 30% of what I catch, the rest is returned.

Never caught a fileted fish before. 😁

Oh, If the day is wet may you have a dry haven available. If the day is dry may you have a good drink available, I hope all can determine if you want to be wet or dry. May God supply you the wisdom to choose. God Bless you all...

Morning Legionnaires!

Today would be a good fishing day but, the AC guy did not get mine fixed last Friday and got hurt over the weekend and could not come Monday so, he is coming today but has not said what time. Beautiful day with low winds and a little warmer than it has been. Mr. and Mrs. Bass have been elusive so far and I am getting anxious. My wife need some fish!

Good morning from our house to yours.

Our temperature is currently 68°F and clear skies with winds 4 mph from the South. We should reach 84° for our high.

The man on the radio said today marks one year since our state opened 100%. We are on solid ground for doing it.

Today I am going to give my wife an early Mother's Day present. She likes art and especial Van Gogh. An exhibit is being held at the Dali Museum in St Pete of his work. . We managed to get a spot at 10:45 AM so I need to head on down. I noticed on the ticket it said a photo ID is required to get in. Think about that for a minute the next time you vote.

One of Van Gogh's masterpieces. Trust all have a great day

Heck, can he get take-out delivered? If so he'd never have to leave that boat except to practice and play football. (I know Ole Tom doesn't eat take-out but if he did... could he...)

Crabs, Did you state Crabs?

I told my wife she caught them all one evening in Charleston, SC. We caught crabs and gave them away to friends who like them. Had a blast.... Hope to do that again real soon and regularly. Use a coke can, a coke can is the exact length they need to be to keep them...

Heck thought some of them were lobster's.

Edit: That one in the sink turned up is a male, the one in the bag turned up is a female. (Looks like she was loaded with eggs.) The wife likes the eggs too.

As kids we would use chicken necks to catch crabs. The local butcher would give them to me and my buddies and we would head off to the lagoon and bring home a mess of blue crabs. Get a big pot boiling, add some seasoning and drop those babies in the pot, alive. Always cook them alive.

I love blue crabs cooked anyway you can imagine and I especially like deviled crabs with a bottle of hot sauce.

That painting reminds me of a place we ate in Paris one evening some 15 years ago. Quite the atmosphere.
